Great place for you to relax & get creative with a drink & snacks (tea, coffee, pop) also do adult only nights which are a great way of meeting new people & getting new ideas, a must go to place if your creative or not as you can just nip in for a drink ☕️ & let other people paint. Staff are wonderful happy to help in anyway they can. This is one of my happy places love it

We've been to this place twice over the past few months and it's absolutely wonderful! So much fun, and the staff are always so knowledgeable and helpful. There's a great selection and pottery items you can pick for painting. We went on my birthday in December which coincidentally happened to be on the same day as the Shops 10th birthday! A great activity for families.

Lovely experience. There is plenty of different pieces of pottery to paint, with a range of different price point. Friendly staff, explained everything perfectly and very open to helping you find a different shade or speckled paint to add to your pottery. Hot chocolate lovely, good range of drinks and snacks available. All facilities very clean. We visited on a Tuesday mid morning which was perfect, a very peaceful atmosphere. I definitely recommend. Didn’t have to book either.
