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.

This workshop was a Christmas present for my partner, as we were supposed to attend one whilst we were on holiday in Japan, but couldn’t. We loved it! Our tutors were very welcoming and we enjoyed the Green Tea provided on arrival. They were very engaging and helpful throughout the workshop and the time flew by. We really liked our finished pieces and I bought the kit to finish the piece I brought + more

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

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

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.

Everlasting Wreath Making Workshop
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.
Angela Scott
Thank you to Anita our teacher who explained clearly how to make a candle from scratch and infuse with oil. We learnt the difference between parrafin and soywax candles. It was a fun afternoon with a group of likeminded people. The end result was a beautiful handcrafted candle. The venue was easy to find and the workshop was light and airy and comfortable to work in. My experience was bought as a Christmas + more

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

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.
