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

No painting experience required. Step by step instruction was well spoken and explained. Very chilled and relaxing evening. This was a birthday present for a friend and she loved it. Just take yourself or grab a few mates. Definitely will book another event. Thank you so much.

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!

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

Couples Wheel Throwing Workshop and Challenge
We attended the couples pottery workshop as a present for my husband. It was really good fun and Angela was a great teacher. We managed to make 4 pots in an hour, and even managed to make some as a team. The session was nice and intimate so we had Angela's expertise for the whole time. I found the hour flew by, it would have been nice to be a bit longer! Angela also offered to take photos of the session + more

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).

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

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.
