18) THE PAINTED
PLATE, Ceramics Studio
Thanks
to Katie for this e-mail....
"All
our family enjoyed Eyam plague village very much. There's loads to see
and the kids loved the gory history of the place. Our day wasn't even
ruined by a total downpour. At Eyam Hall Craft Centre I would recommend
a trip to The Painted Plate. It is a paint your own ceramics studio,
where we all painted our own cup. It was great fun, the kids loved it
and have already decided what they will do next time. It was good value
for money for a whole afternoon's entertainment and we got something
to take home to show off to our friends."
