GREAT NEWS, CULTURE VULTURES 01 When it comes to culture, Stoke-on-Trent is up there with the best. It’s a city steeped in history, and recently we’ve seen a resurgence in everything that makes it great.
For starters, it’s the World Capital of Ceramics. Our Pottery Museums and ceramic festivals are world- renowned, we’re even home to Wedgwood. Industrially and creatively the ceramic industry has helped mould our city, putting us on the map as a globally renowned destination for innovation, entrepreneurialism, science, and art. It doesn’t stop there, the city is bursting with cultural events throughout the year like theatre, street art, drama, opera, big touring productions, and festivals of all shapes and sizes. We’ve hosted big bands, debuted up-and-coming artists, run exhibits, showcased new talent, and sponsored world-class sporting events for our own Championship football team, Stoke City FC. We invented oatcakes too, mic drop.
EAT YOUR HEART OUT 02 With over 200 places to eat across our region, there is a lot to sink your teeth into. Make the most of the student discounts, round up your new housemates and grab a bite to eat without breaking the bank.
