Morris & James has confirmed it will close its doors to the public on Sunday, 16 November 2025. The company announced that, instead of its usual Labour Weekend sale, a Closing Down Sale will run from 1–16 November, open daily from 9am to 5pm. The sale will include discounts on remaining stock, along with selected display pieces and curiosities from the factory.

Some display items will remain on site, while others will be listed on Trade Me. These will be available to view in-store before bidding begins online. The full list of items is still being finalised.

The final firing at the factory is scheduled for the first week of November, with the date of the last throwing day to be announced shortly. Both events will be marked by the Morris & James team and shared on social media channels.

Factory tours continue daily at 11:30am, with the last tour date yet to be confirmed. Customers holding Morris & James gift vouchers are advised that the Closing Down Sale will be the final opportunity to redeem them. With stock limited, visitors are encouraged to come in early or phone ahead.

After public trading ends, the remainder of November will be used to pack down the factory and prepare for departure from the site. Details of capital equipment available for purchase, including kilns, factory machinery, and parts, will be released during this period.

Updates will continue to be shared via the Morris & James Facebook page and email newsletter. The business remains open 9am to 5pm daily until its closure.
