Earth and Fire is one of the country's premiere ceramic events. For three days, at the end of June, over a hundred potters from across the UK and Europe come to Nottinghamshire to sell direct to the public from outdoor market stalls. For 17 years collectors, gallery owners, enthusiasts and the general public have flocked to Rufford to meet and talk to the potters selling everything from garden planters and sculptures, to bowls, pie dishes, teapots, mugs, plates and egg cups.
As a County Council we aim to provide the opportunity for our local communities and visitors to experience excellent art - Earth and Fire is our premiere event.
