Events currently running:

Ceramics in the City 2010 - Ceramics in the City returns to the Geffrye Museum in September, showcasing stunning new work by 50 selected ceramicists, a mix of both well-established names and rising talents. An array of styles, techniques, texture and colour will be demonstrated in a wide variety of domestic objects, ranging from functional tableware to purely aesthetic or quirky one-off pieces. During the three-day event, visitors will have the opportunity not just to browse and buy, but also to meet the makers and watch free demonstrations. Craft activities will be run to entertain children throughout Saturday and Sunday. From 17 September until 19 September.

Christmas Past: 400 Years of Seasonal Traditions in English Homes - Recapture the magic of Christmas with a visit to Christmas Past. Each year, the museum's eleven period rooms are decorated in authentic festive style, evoking some of the rich and colourful traditions and celebrations of Christmases past which are often forgotten amid the hubbub of the modern festive season. From feasting, dancing and kissing under the mistletoe to playing parlour games, decorating the tree and throwing cocktail parties, Christmas Past illustrates how Christmas has been celebrated in English middle-class homes from 1600 to the present day. From 23 November 2010 until 2 January 2011.
