Overview
Stoke-on-Trent has two group-travel identities that rarely overlap but both keep our diary full. It's the base for trips to Alton Towers, Britain's largest theme park with over 40 rides including Nemesis Reborn and The Smiler, which brings school groups, birthday parties and corporate away-days in on coaches throughout the season. Separately, the city trades on its title as the official World Capital of Ceramics - the Potteries nickname is well earned, with the Gladstone Pottery Museum's Victorian bottle kilns and factory tours at Wedgwood, Emma Bridgewater and Moorcroft drawing heritage and hobbyist groups from across the country. The Trentham Estate, with its Italian Gardens and free-roaming Barbary macaques at the Monkey Forest, rounds out the family-day-out side of things. We handle coach and minibus hire for all of these plus general corporate and school transport, with the city well placed for connections to Stafford, Crewe and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and around 160 miles - roughly 3 hours - from London.
Stoke-on-Trent, England draws group visitors for everything from corporate conferences and trade shows to school field trips, wedding celebrations, and sporting events. Below are the venues and landmarks our groups visit most often — each one a regular stop on our Stoke-on-Trent routes.
