4 June 2026
It is nearly time for our 3rd potters social evening at The Queens Head. The first two have been pretty well attended with a dozen or so potters on each occasion.
The plan is to hold them on the first Thursday of every even numbered month (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct and Dec). Meeting in the historic Old Queens Head (Sheffield’s oldest pub), Ponds Hill, S1 2BG from about 7.00pm until 9.00ish on Thursday 4th of June. We meet in the old part of the pub, just behind the widow shown in the photo, just past the bar. The room has no telly which is a great bonus to conversation.
The pub is very close to both the bus and train stations, and there is some metered on-street parking nearby, free after 8.30pm. I think the machine takes cards but it might just be the Sheffield Council parking app.
The nearest multi-story car park (Castlegate) is only 5 mins walk away on Broad Street West, S1 2BQ. It’s very handy, well lit and easy to use but it is a bit pricy.
We now know that the pub does food up to 8.00pm. It’s the usual pub pie and chips style menu but it is an option if you are coming straight from work or the studio.
These meetings are open to all potters not just NPA members.
