Location: Keele Hall – part of Keele Hall Heritage Day
Price: Free
Booking: No booking required – drop in

Join local ceramic artist Sally Fitchard for a vibrant hands‑on mosaic workshop inspired by the heritage of Keele Hall and its surrounding landscape. Using pre‑cut and pre‑painted air‑dry clay pieces, participants can explore colour, pattern and decorative design while drawing on visual references from the historic Minton tiles at the Old Library veranda, the Italian gardens and the architectural details found across the Hall. Suitable for all ages and abilities, this accessible drop‑in workshop is suitable for all ages.  

Participants and contribute to a large collaborative mosaic and create a smaller mosaic to take away.

Access and parking

Parking is available in the Keele Hall overflow car park, located directly adjacent to the Hall. Disabled parking is provided in the main courtyard, though visitors should be aware that the courtyard surface is traditional cobblestone. Additional parking is available across several other car parks on the Keele University campus, all of which are free of charge on weekends.

Access to Keele Hall is via the main stairway entrance from the courtyard. A lift is available through the alternative courtyard entrance, and a member of staff will be on hand to assist anyone who requires lift access.

The main floor of Keele Hall is accessible for wheelchair users and pushchairs. Access to the lawns, terrace and lakeside walks is more limited; paths can be uneven, overgrown in summer, and muddy or slippery after rain. Visitors planning to explore the grounds are advised to wear long trousers and suitable footwear.
