Kids and Family Pottery Painting.
Children love crafting and become fully absorbed in painting as soon as they arrive. But mums and dads don’t need to sit on the sidelines and watch. Roll those sleeves up, slip on an apron and join in the fun too!
The art studio is very relaxed and friendly, so there’s no pressure to produce a Mona-Lisa, and there’s hand on help, tips and tuition to help those creative juices flow. Just come along and enjoy the creative environment. All you need is ready and waiting for you to get stuck in, including aprons, and equipment.
You can choose from a splendid range of ceramic items, such as dishes, mugs, pots, and even figurines if you’re feeling more ambitious. Start with something simple, like a plate or piece of crockery, and before you know it, you could have created your very own unique personalised dinner service, a one of a kind tea set!
Fun for all ages and artistic abilities.
Mums, dads and grandparents can cherish a new baby’s footprints or a toddlers handprints on a plate, tile, dish or vase for years to come. Hen parties can create a commemorative platter, a plate each to make a dinner service, or tea set for the bride to be, then all sign it as a fun memento.
Ideal as a party venue for birthdays, anniversaries, hen parties, corporate events, the disabled, group outings and school educational trips.
After you have chosen your item you can either paint in acrylics and take your item home on the day or if you wish to have your item glazed and fired you may leave it with us for a couple of days and return to see your master piece transformed.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite in the studio, head over to the Pot-a-Doodle Do Café Bistro for a tasty lunch, afternoon snack or a well earned cuppa. You’ll find a menu that’s stuffed with goodies made from local produce, and scrumptiously mouth-watering homemade cakes, tray bakes and scones. Mmm!
Plenty for the kids to enjoy.
Starting with our fantastic outdoor play park built from wood and designed to blend in with the beautiful surroundings.
It features classic favourites like swings and a slide, a lookout tower, and a few surprises for little adventurers to discover. Whether it's racing down the slide, swinging as high as they can, or letting their imagination run wild in the wooden fort, it’s a space that encourages creative play and burns off energy in the fresh air.
Just a few steps away, thrill-seekers will love our outdoor climbing wall. Designed for all ability levels, it’s a great introduction to climbing for kids and a fun challenge for older children. Built with secure colourful grips, it’s a great way to build confidence, coordination, and a sense of achievement.
The play park and climbing wall are open daily and are perfect for an afternoon of fun, whether you’re winding down after a day exploring the local area or just enjoying a relaxing day on-site.
