Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre

When you step into the world of Belleek Pottery you enter one of Northern Ireland’s oldest and fascinating attractions. Visitors have been coming to Belleek Pottery, since 1857. We invite you to discover the secrets that have made Belleek Pottery one of the most enduring success stories of Irish Craftmanship with a visit to its award winning Visitor Centre.

A visit to Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre is the perfect way for you to spend a day out, with fun for all the family.  Arriving at the pottery on the tranquil banks of the River Erne in County Fermanagh, visitors are invited to ring the bell which first called people to work in 1857.  Admission to the Visitor Centre is free, we also offer a range of guided Belleek pottery tours and experiences.  

Belleek Tours and Experiences

Begin your visit with an interactive guided tour.  Visitor Centre Guides will take you on a 30-minute pottery tour where you will see the 16 steps of how this world-famous product is created.  Some of the skills demonstrated, you will see moulding, flowering, painting and basket weaving.  You will also have the opportunity to see the Belleek craftsmen and women at work highlighting the skill involved in every process.  Visitor participation is encouraged throughout the tour, glazing product and breaking pieces that do not meet the required standard.
