Introduction Silver Jewellery Workshop for Beginners
The workshop was a present from my wife as I have previously designed jewellery for her. I would thoroughly recommend trying this out as it is great fun, the day just disappeared and if you are lucky you'll come home with some beautiful creations. Liz is a great teacher. She clearly explains the science and the techniques we tried out. She demonstrates each technique in easy to follow chunks at a pace + more

I went as a Birthday gift with a friend. Tilly was amazing, welcoming and warm throughout the workshop. As soon as you step in, the materials and instructions were laid out. Friendly atmosphere and guidance was available at times. Fantastic time learning about the process of ring making and a chance to be creative. Highly recommend

I booked the class as a present for my boyfriend’s birthday and we both had the best time! All the dishes that we made were delicious and we learnt some great tips to recreate them at home. We particularly loved the Chana Masala and the Saag Aloo. We had lots of delicious food to take home. Steve was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He was happy to answer our many questions, share some great stories + more

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
The perfect gift experience. A friendly atmosphere for both groups and individuals. Very cool space and chilled atmosphere. Amazing teachers who were encouraging and helped at each stage if needed. Great value for money in learning the basics, using the wheel was a highlight and very excited to see the results after the kiln!

Parents and Kids' Doughnut Making Class
I got to go with my friend to this course as a birthday present from January so I was really excited and counting down to the day! It was just as amazing as I was expecting and as a baker anyway, I was keen to expand my skills. The teacher (Scott) was very knowledgeable and also good at making sure everybody was able to participate fully. My thanks to the team, such a great present.

We came in and got straight to work with Mihaly giving a quick yet instructive intro and all the help and tips we needed along the way. We both ended up making 6 pieces, which clearly showed our progression as + more

Father's day gifts to make his day
As Father’s Day 2024 approaches, it’s easy to leave your present planning until the last minute and get lost in the endless selection of gifts for Dad. If you’ve exhausted your usual go-to ideas and want to find something a little different to show your Dad how much you care, our gift experiences are a surefire way to avoid the cliché presents and make this Father’s Day one to remember.
Whether he’s a skilled chef that takes great delight in showcasing those cooking skills or an aspiring artist ready to grab his sketchbook and learn to draw, there’s sure to be a close-by class that he’ll love. Our DIY gifts for Father’s Day are perfect for those dads who always seem to be toting a different tool around the house. Help him swap the shed for one of the many local craft workshops on offer this Father’s Day — it’s a brilliant chance for him to stretch those creative muscles and pick up a host of impressive skills to help on his future DIY projects.
If you can’t quite put your finger on what he’d like this year and have exhausted your usual gift ideas for Dad, why not avoid the stressful shopping and surprise him with one of our experience gift vouchers instead? It doesn’t matter if he’s spending his Father’s Day out in London or wants to try a flavourful cooking class in Glasgow; you’ll be giving him control over his creative adventure and avoiding the unwanted gifts along the way!
Experience gifts for dad
When it comes to finding unique gifts for Dad, you can’t go wrong surprising him with an experience that he’s been meaning to try for a while or hasn’t had the chance to enjoy yet. Whether you help him recreate his favourite pieces from The Great Pottery Throwdown at a wheel throwing workshop for two or treat his sweet tooth with a baking class, an experience gift will show him that you’ve put plenty of time into choosing the right present for him.
If your creative Dad has always wanted to give graffiti a go, our street art classes in London could be one of the best gifts for him. He doesn’t need to be a budding Banksy to take part. Led by a local artist, he’ll enjoy a unique alternative to traditional painting classes and soak up the sights of the city before heading to a local studio to shake and spray colours to create an artwork to take home.
You’ll never look back once you make the switch from traditional presents to our unforgettable experience gifts. On the hunt for Father’s Day ideas for your eco-conscious Pops? A sustainable session of soy candle making will soothe his busy mind and give him the perfect excuse to relax at home alongside the scents of his wax creations.
You can even join in on the fun and book a joint class together! After all, what’s a better way to celebrate your special Dad than by creating memories that you can fondly look back on for years to come?
Unique presents for dad
There are so many options to help you make Father’s Day 2024 one to remember. If your Dad would rather spend time at home in the company of his nearest and dearest, why not surprise him with an online class or a fun craft kit you can try together? From learning how to make bread and dumplings online to enjoying a virtual gin tasting in the comfort of your living room — our indoor activities will help you discover exciting hobbies without leaving the house.
It doesn’t matter if you live across the street or on the other side of the country; an online class is a brilliant chance to close the distance and pick up a new skill together. If your Dad has been searching for new things to make at home, bring a little more nature into his life with a DIY terrarium kit. He’ll combine soil, stones and succulents into a beautiful biome to decorate his desk and end the experience with an easy-to-care-for ecosystem that will still be going strong next year.
Whatever you choose, your Dad is sure to love how much thought you’ve put into Father’s Day when you trade traditional presents for an experience gift!
