What visitors say
We had a fabulous time last Saturday. Lots of different paints, brushes and stencils to choose from. A huge selection of ceramics to paint too. Definitely recommend anyone to go - but prebook online first. My only issue was it was very busy and the lady explaining what to do didn’t reach our table until 3.30pm so we lost half an hour of painting time. Plus people with mobility issues like myself would struggle to go up the steep stairs. Is there any way some pots could be decorated downstairs?

What a lovely little hideaway! Paint a Pot was a excellent experience for both my young ones. Plenty of options for them to choose from and lots of colour options too. The 2 girls working upstairs were very helpful and we will definitely plan on going back soon. Can’t wait to see the finished products :)

I visited here on Saturday 22nd May and had such a lovely time! We went with our 8-year-old boy, and it was honestly brilliant from start to finish. The staff were absolutely amazing all of them were friendly, but there was one young lady in particular who stood out. She was super helpful, incredibly patient, and explained everything really clearly to us both. She made the whole experience so easy and fun, you can tell she really loves her job! The centre itself has great access, which was really important for us, and there are loads of good resources and ideas to help you create something brilliant. It’s such a relaxed, welcoming place to be creative together. We’ll definitely be going again it’s a wonderful place for kids and grown-ups to get crafty. Highly recommended, gold stars all round!
