Stoke-on-Trent, sandwiched between nearby towns like Newcastle-under-Lyme and Alsager, boasts the largest population in Staffordshire.

Stoke-on-Trent is home to 256,375 residents (as of 2019), with the majority having roots in the UK.

Despite the bustling human activity, the moderating influence of the nearby Cheshire Plain gifts the city a pleasant, temperate maritime climate.

When to visit Stoke

When planning your visit to Stoke-on-Trent, do take into account the seasonality. Peak tourism occurs in August, March, and September, when sun-drenched cities in the UK tend to see a surge in visitor numbers. This flux can lead to a rise in hotel and flight prices.

If you prefer to skip the rush, consider visiting in late July for warmer weather and lower chances of rain, or in May for a significantly thriftier visit. However, Stoke-on-Trent has its charm all year round, irrespective of the season. So whether it's a springtime pottery class or autumn strolls in the countryside, Stoke-on-Trent always extends a warm, Staffordshire welcome.
