Hedgwood and Friends

We are extremely excited to announce the arrival of our newest addition to the World of Wedgwood family, Hedgwood and Friends. 

Whilst we felt that our family-friendly activities were top-notch, something was missing- that sprinkling of something extra special. So, that is where the idea of *drum roll please* Hedgwood and Friends was born.

Our little visitors now have their very own World of Wedgwood mascots in Hedgwood and Friends. We hope their arrival will spark that little bit of extra joy in every little visitor, offering a fun and accessible way to experience the story of Wedgwood for our younger audience.
