Wheel Throwing Pottery Workshop
This pottery class was a birthday present for my young daughter, as she is keen on crafts. We both had turns on the wheel and Patrick, our teacher, helped us make some great little pots. We then undertook a wonderful project to mould, texture, and colour two lovely dishes (see the picture of the best 2-tone dish). Patrick was wonderful throughout, and kind with my daughter. We can’t wait to pick + more

I purchased this experience for my husband and I as part of his birthday gift this year and it really was so much fun for us both! Louise is super knowledgeable, patient and friendly and you can really tell how much joy she gets from delivering these classes. It's great to learn a new skill from someone so passionate and we ended up creating some great bowls and cups even as complete beginners! The + more

Smartphone Photography Workshop - Richmond-upon-Thames
The workshop was a birthday gift from my nieces and nephews, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor was excellent, clearly explaining various techniques to use the iPhone for producing high-quality photos. We covered everything from capturing reflections on shiny surfaces to choosing the best scenic spots in Richmond, whether on the Green, in photogenic alleys, or in charming cafes along the river. + more

Received a voucher to attend as a birthday gift and attended the beginners class with my mum. Thank you to Sarah for being a brilliant instructor with a lovely manner. The class was very calming and a great way to spend a morning crafting and learning a new skill. Then taking away your creations at the end as an added bonus in a lovely wee bag. Very enjoyable!

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!

The dim sum making class was given to me as a birthday gift and wow, we had the best evening! Will was amazing from start to finish- he made us feel so welcome (and made us laugh throughout). He was really encouraging and, goes without saying, beyond knowledgable. The 3 different types of dim sum we made were so fun to make (and tasted delicious, we loved eating them afterwards!) It’s such a nice + more

The event was a birthday present for with two of my friends. Our teacher was Vicki and she was excellent. She explained and demonstrated everything very well and was continuously helpful as we made our wreaths. She was very easy to talk to. The materials were good and the whole vent was good value for money. The venue was perfect, easy to find and very pleasant to spend time in.

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.

I bought the introduction to table top making course as a gift for my partners birthday. Dan was really informative, thorough, knowledgeable and funny! The venue was fantastic, a lovely studio set on the Thames, with lots of light and really tidy and inspiring. The equipment was in good condition and we had access to so many tools. We mainly used the router, sander and circular saw. We were taught + more

Textured Silver Ring Making Workshop
The silver ring class was a Xtmas gift from my daughters to me and my husband. The teacher was great. Very welcoming, very nice, funny, dynamic and very clear. The venue was a very cute little cafe, with very good food, with a bonus discount for work-shoppers. The materials were appropriate and well explained. I had a great experience!
Marina
I booked this class for a birthday present for a friend and three of us went. The teacher was really nice and helpful, she spread her time evenly, and she answered all our questions. There was enough time for one object repair and someone had enough time to fix his own bowl as well. All materials were provided and of great quality, and the ceramics are upcycled. The venue was very nice, just a bit + more

This experience was more than expected. A fantastic time was had. Louise has a gift not only in poetry making but also in her approach to teaching such a delicate skill to newbies. We enjoyed this so much the time went so fast. Will definitely be going back.

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!
