What visitors say
Had the best time here for my daughter’s 8th birthday party, 5 children 3 adults all painted pottery and children also did foam clay. Charlotte was brilliantly attentive with the children and had a smooth operation running all evening. Adults even found it relaxing which I’m sure can be rare for kids parties, in my experience anyway. Thank you we will absolutely be visiting again and can’t wait for our potteries!!

Great place, been here a couple times for anniversary dates recreating our first. Plenty of options of cups, plates and other trinkets to paint, with a good variety of colours. Decent pricing too, would highly recommend you take family or friends to make thoughtful gifts or take children to have fun painting.
