Take a look at the options below and get in touch if you would like to talk about an event with a member of staff.
WE HAVE A FEW OPTIONS FOR YOU...
FAMILY FRIENDLY MAIN STUDIO
Our family friendly main studio space can seat up to 50 people and we hold 3 90 minute sessions a day in here on Friday's and Saturdays, and 2 sessions on a Sunday. Everyone is welcome here, babies, kids, adults and elderly painters. Our space is inclusive and comfortable, with plenty of space for all. We have tables for 2 people up to 6 people. Please note, we encourage at least 50% of the party must be painters.
When booking our studio space please be sure to book for as many people that will be visiting, if there are 2 children and 3 adults, but one adult won't be painting, you will still need to book a table for 5 people. We can not always seat tag-alongs, so be sure to secure a space for everyone when booking. If you require a table for more than 6 people you will need to book a couple of tables to suit your party size.
Our 90 minute sessions cost nothing to book. Unlike a lot of other studios, we do not charge a studio fee for your session time. All costs for painting, materials, glazing and firing are included in the pieces you paint.
It is important to us to make your experience as comfortable as possible so when booking, we ask you to let us know in the client notes if you might prefer a little more space, need a highchair, some extra space for a wheelchair or if you'd like a quieter corner. Anything that can help us make your experience more enjoyable.
We tend to get fully booked throughout the week in here and it can get rather busy and noisy. We have a few other options for those who would like a quieter, slightly more sophisticated painting experience, scroll on to find out more...
THE LOUNGE
The Lounge comes with a £10 studio fee plus the cost of your pottery. This gets you the exclusivity of 2.5 hours of painting time, a complimentary first drink from our hot or cold menu*, added exclusive extras such as letter stamps, tape and writer pens to enhance your creations.
*Alcohol, milkshakes and smoothies are not included.
Pottery painting... but make it posh, adults, this one is for you! Welcome to the exclusive adult-only Lounge. The Lounge is perfect for those hoping to escape into their me-time. An intimate cosy environment to enjoy your pottery painting with the ones you love, or just in your own company.
Away from the main hubbub of the studio, you might find yourself becoming a regular visitor to The Lounge, so grab your paintbrushes and come and choose a project!

EVENING PAINTING
Our evening sessions are adult-only and are held each month, usually on a Thursday night. We lower the lights, turn up the music slightly and welcome you with a glass of bubbly!
Enjoy an evening out with friends that isn't just a drink in the pub. Pottery painting is a fantastic way to socialise with friends or family in a safe and inviting space. Why not make it your monthly date night?
Our evenings are 3 hours long 6-9pm and you can arrive/leave when you like, we will have our usual offering of refreshments all evening.
£5pp secures your spot and this gets you a glass of fizz and a sweet treat too! Pay for what you paint on the night.
