Day Out - Henry Watson Potteries

Located about 45 minutes from RAF Mildenhall is the famous Henry Watson Potteries Shop. They've been in business since the early 19th century making beautifully handcrafted kitchenware. The BX used to occasionally sell Henry Watson items, but I haven't seen them on base in over a year and a half. The shop is located on a tiny road and can be hard to find. I've been out to the pottery shop about six times, so, if you'd like to visit and want more detailed directions, please feel free to email me. It is definitely worth the trip!




  • Henry Watson Potteries is located in Wattisfield, near Diss, in Suffolk.
  • They're open seven days a week (including Bank Holidays except for Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day).
  • There is a small tea room/coffee shop.
  • Opening times are Monday-Saturday: 9:30 am - 5 pm and Sunday: 10 am - 4 pm.
  • I would not recommend taking children to this shop. Basically everything in the shop is breakable and there is nothing for children to do there.
  • Car park and admission to the shop are both free.
  • There is also a small picnic area.
