Hi, we will be visiting Stoke on Trent for 2 days later this month and are looking for things to do...2 adults 1 child age 5....can anyone point us in the rights direction for things to do and places to eat without breaking the bank.

Gladstone Pottery Museum is good. As well as being a museum, there are demonstrations as you walk around and children (and adults!) can also have a go at making something on a potter's wheel and can paint an ornament - both of which you can take home. Admission is quite reasonable though the activities cost a pound or two on top of that.

Jodrell Bank is always good, and not too far away.

Waterworld has lots of slides and a wave machine if you like swimming.

Trentham is a nice place to visit - you can walk around the gardens or even visit the monkey forest.

Hanley museum is good...be warned, there will soon be a charge to walk around Trentham lake! £5 a head. Festival park may be worth a walk around- although I've not been there since it was the site of the National Garden Festival! Thats also where you'll find waterworld, a ski slope, and the usual suspects of cinemas, shops etc.

Make sure you try Oatcakes whilst you're there- cheap, filling, and oh, how I miss them!

second waterworld and monkey forest but the best bit about stoke is the A50, head into Derbyshire/Staffordshire or Cheshire.
