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

Paint and Sip Class - Watchfield, Swindon
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.

Dave was a fantastic teacher, super skilled and great at teaching each part of the process. I bought this as a birthday gift for the 2 of us, my partner absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave! Thanks for a great afternoon, can't wait to see the final designs.

I was given a voucher as a present and decided to do a Sauce cooking course at The Avenue Cookery School. Diana was a very engaging teacher. She gave us really good tips and solutions including recipes for sauces that were flexible and useful for so many dishes. She explain the logic of the cooking process without prescribed instructions. Lovely relaxed afternoon and lunch.

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!

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!

Everything was well set out and clear with easy to follow instructions. The lady was helpful in explaining and showing you what to do before but also with the independence of preparing the food yourself. The venue was clean and set up nicely with + more

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

This was a present for my boyfriend and we finally did it this Saturday - it was wonderful! The little studio, tucked in the back of a lovely Hungarian Restaurant has a relaxed at-home feel. 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

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

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.
