Good to bring city council, civic, education, business, community and cultural stakeholder partners together to share more information on Stoke-on-Trent’s ambitions to progress an application to become a designated UNESCO Creative City. The intelligence gathering and programme shaping continues. @jamesobridge

A revitalised Burslem needs a cultural soul. Why it’s important to capitalise on Lemmy-centric development opportunities as a post-centenary legacy.

As an honorary Stokie, I loved writing this feature about Stoke-on-Trent for the Guardian, highlighting some of the places that make the city so special. And I can’t wait to see how the city celebrates its centenary year. theguardian.com/travel/2025/…

Ongoing discussions linked to an enhanced ceramics heritage/tourism trail in Stoke-on-Trent, now a designated World Craft City. A reminder that #CeramicsTourism is the passive engagement or active participation in ceramics-focused experiences of an educational, creative, entertainment, retail or curiosity nature. My research with local attractions has revealed the following ceramics tourist typology with visitors categorised as: ‘purposefully ceramics motivated’, ceramics-inspired sightseers’, or ‘incidental ceramics participators’.

As a visually impaired person, travelling without anyone I know used to feel out of reach. So I loved going on a @traveleyesltd trip - where VI & sighted people travel together. I wrote about it for the Guardian: theguardian.com/travel/2024/…
I’m visually impaired but thanks to my guides I loved exploring Austria’s Tirol

A trip that pairs partially sighted people with fully sighted guides offers reassurance while expanding the possibilities of travel, as our writer discovered in Austria and Germany
