Cupcake Decorating Class - Beginner Plus
I attended the Cupcake Masterclass recently at the home of the tutor, such a wonderful, welcoming environment to learn in, she was very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive to everyone’s different needs. The equipment required for the morning was provided for each member of the class, 4 of us, we were shown how to use everything, most very new to me! We decorated 6 cupcakes in 6 different styles + more

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

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

Indian Vegan Thali Cooking Class
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

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!

I booked this class for a present for my sister and friend. Had such a great time. Teacher was amazing. Gave us a step by step guide to painting. Giving great detail in mixing paints and tips on brush works. Was fascinating see our art work come to life. Has opened up a new interest. Loved my finished canvas. Will definitely be interested in another class.

I booked this as a birthday present for a friend and we both LOVED IT. Brandon was a great teacher, he was super patient and made the space feel very comfortable. I would recommend this activity to everyone I know, great way to spend a couple of hours in a mindfulness activity where you can focus and be creative and get a beautiful end result!
Del Ganly
It was a Xmas present for my Wife +1 (me) We both really enjoyed it, the teacher was a good laugh and amazingly, remembered everyone's names from the start! Our new silver rings look fantastic and our friends are now booked on the next course because they were so impressed of our great time. All materials and tools are included in the price, and Spitalfields is well worth a visit anyway
Dave Johnson
It was a lovely, intimate demonstration of choclatiering. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We made some lovey chocolates and learned so much. We think the fact it is the smallest chocolate factory makes it the best. Brilliant Christmas present for my wife. Thanks Ramnik.

This was a birthday gift from some friends. I loved it. It was a sip and paint class where we painted the Northern Lights. The teacher was brilliant, so patient and kind and gave clear instruction. Materials were spot on and the venue was really good. The time flew by. Was great to connect to some creativity in a warm and friendly environment.
Lorna Weaver
Wheel Throwing Class for Beginners
The class was a birthday present from my daughter. Sharon was a teacher with a lot of patience and explained everything clearly. The venue and materials were good. Not easy to get to without a car, so we got a taxi. Loved the whole experience, and will do it again.

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 received a voucher from my sister as a gift and decided to embark on a solo adventure for some fun.

I appreciated the intimate setting and the diverse mix of guests, + more

I bought this as a gift for my husband for Lunar New Year, and this was the earliest class that we could make together!

Why are experience days a great choice for mums?
Mums can be hard to please sometimes, so we understand why you might be contemplating the best option when it comes to experience gifts for mum. After all, gift experiences for mum are the ideal option for anyone looking for something extra special for their favourite lady – who already seems to have everything she wants! These mum-friendly activities offer a unique and memorable way to show your appreciation. Unlike traditional gifts that might be forgotten, experiences create lasting memories. For busy mums who often prioritise their families, a gift experience provides a chance to take a break and enjoy something special.
So, which one should you opt for? We believe that mums deserve a little adventure and a little bit relaxation, so we think the activities that combine both of these elements are the best experience days for mum. That's where experiences like pottery classes, flower arranging workshops, cooking sessions, and candle making classes come in. It's a chance for them to learn a new skill (enter: adventure), whilst still unwinding. As she stirs up a fragrant storm in the kitchen, moulds her favourite new mug or pours a bespoke luxury scented candle, she'll be transported to another world full of adventure and relaxation.
What's even better is that many of these experiences are designed to be shared. So, not only does mum get to enjoy the experience, but it also becomes a bonding moment for the family. And here's a thoughtful touch: gift experiences are environmentally friendly. They don't clutter up the house and they often support local creators. In a nutshell, gift experiences are a heartfelt way to celebrate mums and all that they do. It's a chance for them to explore, relax, and create wonderful memories that will be cherished for years to come.
