The Jolly Potter Magazine was produced as an in-house publication for The Wade Group of Potteries which included:

Each issue of The Jolly Potter magazine contained news from the workers of the Wade Group of Potteries, such as births, deaths, and marriages. A lot of poetry written by the workers can also be found within the magazines. News from the potteries including newly issued items, crossword puzzles and comic strips are interspersed throughout the pages.

The Jolly Potter is back after 45 years! In 2005, the magazine was brought back under the title The Jolly Potter the Wade Magazine and was sent to all members of the Wade Collector's Club. This is a wonderful addition to the Wade Magazine to be able to get an inside perspective of what goes on in the factory and what the employees also do.
