Ford Park is a registered charity (Registered Charity No: 1088106) located in Ulverston. Getting to us can be a bit tricky. Our postcode is LA12 7JP but if you follow your sat nav, you could end up in the wrong place.

Ford Park is situated just below the Sir John Barrow Monument, on Hoad Hill. To find us, turn off the A590 into Hart Street, you’ll see the Swan Inn and the Swan Chinese take away on your left. Go about 500yds and turn right into Ford Park Crescent, continue driving and you will see the entrance to the park ahead.

There will be signage on the road to help guide you to the festival.

We have stallholders selling a wide variety of ceramic work for you to purchase as well as activities for you to try. You can watch demonstrations by our artists, have a go at throwing on the wheel, get involved in making a public sculpture, make something yourself using hand building techniques or join a workshop there is plenty to see and do. Activities vary from each year to the next therefore please subscribe to our newsletter to find out what we currently have on offer. There will also be food vendors catering to your refreshment needs.

Our event is on 16-17 May 2026. The event is held outdoors under large and smaller marquees in the grounds of Ford Park. We are open 10am until 4pm each day.

We will have Parking Marshalls on site who will direct you where to park on the field.

Yes, well behaved dogs on leads are welcome at our event.
