Absolutely wonderful class! The venue is a lovely air-conned artist studio where they offer you cups of tea. And they have all the different crafts they teach showcased around you. We went with a 1.5hrAbsolutely wonderful class! The venue is a lovely air-conned artist studio where they offer you cups of tea. And they have all the different crafts they teach showcased around you. We went with a 1.5hr glass flowers workshop. My friend and I are both very crafty people and we locked in and were able to get a lot done in the 1.5hrs but I think if you want a more relaxed, chatty session treat yourself with the 2hrs. Our instructor was lovely and it was a very nice atmosphere. Very worth the money! I am getting lots of compliments on my new pendant :) And the second I’m going to gift to my mum + more

I absolutely loved my session with Claire. It was a birthday gift to see if I liked machine knitting and if I wanted to take it any further, and I definitely do. Claire was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable.I absolutely loved my session with Claire. It was a birthday gift to see if I liked machine knitting and if I wanted to take it any further, and I definitely do. Claire was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. She tailored the session to what I wanted, introducing me to a machine that she recommended for what I’m interested in, clothing and textile samples. We then spent a happy couple of hours where Claire ran me through set up and the machine capability. We created a sample trying out different techniques, including lace, ladder and using a pattern and Claire recommended places to get a machine. I’m very happy with the session and would definitely recommend it. Thanks Claire + more

Our 30th birthday present ideas in Manchester are the best!
If you're on a quest for unique 30th birthday gifts then we've got good news for you! Our experience gift vouchers are the perfect solution to your present woes, particularly if your special someone seems to have every material possession they could want. Tailored to suit a variety of interests, these experiences cater to everyone from budding artists to cocktail enthusiasts.
An experience gift isn't simply another item to be dusted and displayed; it's something far more special! It's an opportunity for the lucky giftee to create new memories while discovering a fresh hobby or passion. After all, turning 30 is a wonderful moment in life where self-discovery often takes centre stage. Perhaps your loved one has always had a desire to master pottery?

For those who adore unique craftsmanship, glassblowing classes will ignite their artistic flames while dried flower arranging courses tap into nature's beauty – there's something for everyone!
And let’s not forget about our gastronomic adventures! If your friend is a fan of culinary delights, our cooking workshops provide a unique birthday idea that will leave them with more than just delicious memories. They'll get hands-on experience preparing delectable dishes and acquire skills they can use in their own kitchen. Or perhaps they’re a keen mixologist? Our cocktail-making sessions are ideal for those who fancy themselves as budding home bartenders.
