The Pottery is located on Main Street in Crawfordsburn on the site of the former Pinewood Pottery. NOW Group secured funding from Ards and North Down Borough Council, Ulster Garden Villages, the Coastal Communities Fund and George Best Belfast City Airport to renovate the space after being contacted by local residents who were keen to see the pottery restored and open to the community again.
The Pottery is open seven days a week and offers a variety of activities including arts classes and drop in Paint Me, Glaze Me workshops. Our café serves a choice of delicious coffee, deli sharing boards, artisan wood fired pizzas and Loaf’s award winning sausage rolls. We are open late Thursday and Friday nights for our popular pizza nights.
Loaf Café & Bakery
Loaf Café & Bakery is a social enterprise that opened for business in June 2015 after we breathed life back into the derelict building previously known as the Oak Bar. Reborn as a bright yellow building, it has already become something of a local landmark.
