About this tour

Duration: 30 Minutes

Welcome to the home of Belleek Fine China, with its rich heritage and traditions which have spanned the Irish generations since 1857. There is no better way to learn of the history of the pottery, then by visiting us and soaking in the whole process which makes Belleek Fine China synonymous with Ireland, and as famous as it is.

We bring you through our working pottery and you will get to see first hand the 16 steps that go into every piece of Belleek.

Highlights

• Our 30-minute guided tour allows visitors full access behind the scenes of the manufacturing and creative process that goes into every piece of Belleek fine china, produced on site since 1857.
• Your tour begins with the ‘ringing of the bell’; you will then visit the museum of artefacts, a collection of Belleek pieces from the very beginning in 1857.
• You will get to meet our craftspeople at work, and ask questions about their craft.

• Visitor participation is encouraged.
• You may get to glaze a piece of pottery or even break an item that has not made the required standard.
