What’s there :  Nestled neatly between St Luke’s Church and Grayshott Primary School - Grayshott Pottery trades out of the ‘Old Laundry’ site and this year will celebrate its 50th Birthday.  The company that is owned by the employees under a Trust arrangement, has three distinctive parts:-
The Pottery, where you can find beautifully designed gallery pieces, some of which echo the Mary Watts’ Compton Pottery ‘Arts & Crafts’, (near Guildord) connections. 
The Gift Shop, that is worth a browse to locate that unusual present.  And of course the relaxing Café Bistro, for a frothy cappuccino or scrummy lunch time snack.  Parking is easy.  Studio and viewing gallery available.
