What visitors say
We had a wonderful 2 hours painting our chosen pottery pieces at Blue Owl today. Everything was laid out on the table when we arrived ready for us to get started. Staff friendly and helpful. Good choice of cake and drinks. Lovely calm and relaxing experience. Looking forward to doing it again in the future.

Absolutely fantastic visit out experience if you'd like a little art in your life. The staff were amazingly friendly (we booked our table and items to paint in advance, and everything was set out for us) and the coffees & juice were fantastic. There's also a lovely range of cakes and snacks to buy and the entire atmosphere is relaxed and bright. The Blue Owl does have a car park with around 12 spaces (that I could see!) So try to car share or public transport if you can! The prices of the pottery pieces to paint may SEEM a little high at first, but remember that this includes firing the finished piece, paints, brushes, dabbers, etc. It takes app 2 weeks from paint to kiln/to you. And we can't wait to pick out pieces up and book in for more. Our toddler aged child enjoyed himself for a good hour making messy paintings, and even used the helpful colour chart to pick out what he wanted. We absolutely hope to go again and again.
