POTTERING IN PAST: Families can travel back in time to Georgian England this weekend to experience life as lived by Josiah Wedgwood.

Visitors to the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, Hanley, can see what life was like for master and servant when Josiah Wedgwood opened his first factory in 1759. This Upstairs Downstairs event is part of the museum's Wedgwood exhibition.

Guests can experience typical entertainment of the time with French and English dances performed by Arbeau Dancers.

Visitors will also have the chance to meet Mr Adams, the Georgian butler, as he sets the table for a lavish dinner.

Visitors can also hear folk music from a fiddler as he serenades the "lower-classes" in the servant's quarters.

To create a historical atmosphere, members of the museum staff will also be dressed in authentic historical costume.

Upstairs Downstairs will run until November 22.
