2025 Biennial

The next edition of the British Ceramics Biennial will run from 6 September to 19 October 2025

The 2025 British Ceramics Biennial will spotlight leading contemporary ceramic artists and introduce work by fresh new talent. Spode Works – the post-industrial site of the original Spode factory in Stoke town – will be animated by exhibitions, screenings, talks and events, shining a light on Stoke-on-Trent’s industrial heritage and creative spirit.

The British Ceramics Biennial is the largest contemporary ceramics event in the UK. We present artworks from the UK’s leading ceramicists alongside work by international artists in exhibitions and special events held across Stoke-on-Trent every two years.
