I booked this class for me and my mum as birthday gift we both really enjoyed it - Malina explained everything really well and we left feeling super confident.
Madeleine
I booked this class as a present for myself and best friend to do, we had such a good time, the setting of the class was really pretty, there were cupcakes handed out which were delicious and we were luckily sat next to some lovely ladies that we chatted with for the evening. The spaces were tight but there was always someone passing by you could ask for a paint colour and they helped happily. The + more

Myself and my friend went as a birthday present to a Sip and Paint class. The class was relaxed and our teacher Sophia was brilliant. We had everything we could possibly need and the drinks were easily accessible. Sophia gave us step by step advice which was easy to follow as well as coming around to help us 1:1 on certain aspects of our painting. We had a fabulous time and we’re really pleased with + more

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

Pottery Wheel Taster Class - Date Edition
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

I reviewed this as a gift from some close friends. My girlfriend and I had a lovely time. Our instructor, Mal, was very helpful and informative. We each successfully created a pot with our instructor’s help and guidance.

Pottery Class - Throwing on the Wheel
We absolutely loved it! Birthday present for my boyfriend (his idea!) Not something I would have thought of but would recommend Dave & his patience to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you for a great afternoon. Great value for money!

Classic Vegetarian Indian Cooking Class
This cooking course was a gift for my husband’s birthday, as he’s passionate about cooking. Steve made us feel very welcome into his home and he had a great set up for cooking. All the ingredients provided were fresh and of quality. We learnt lots of tips and tricks to get the best out of your curries and how we can alter them to make many more dishes at home. We also learnt about all the different + more

Thoroughly enjoyed this class. I had bought the class as a birthday present for a friend and we both found everything about the class excellent. The teacher explained everything clearly and the paints and canvases were good quality. The food and wine were good too.
Sharon Waterson
Chelsie is such a wonderful teacher. Very personable and kind and knows her stuff. The chat was always flowing but never felt intrusive or too much. I booked a private workshop for myself and my mum as a Christmas present to make Macrame wall hanging hearts. Neither of us had ever done Macrame before and Chelsie explained what we had to do very simply and patiently answered all of our questions and + more

Silver Sea Glass Ring Making Class
I received a sea glass ring making class as a Christmas gift and spent a most enjoyable day engaged in this. Our tutor Sarah was very professional and knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that each participant got the best experience possible. She was particularly encouraging when I struggled with some of the processes and I left with my very own sea glass ring at the end of the day.
Eden Blakeman
We had Elena as our teacher and she was great - super nice and interactive. It was a guided painting class so we essentially watched her paint something step by step and copied, but she also gave us the artistic freedom to make changes. I did this with my brother as a present for him and it was really nice to spend time together painting!

I found this class by accident after having booked a birthday surprise elsewhere which got cancelled. It left me searching for a replacement gift for my partner at the last minute. I wasn't sure if this class would be that professional, since it was based in a little shop rather than a large scale kitchen. Since Hannah and Simon were very responsive to all of my queries, and even catered to my gluten + more

Booked this class with a friend as our Christmas present to each other. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The venue was stunning and so beautifully set up for the event. You get everything you could need to paint the candles, including ideas for decorating. The hosts were so helpful ensuring we had enough paints and our preferred colours etc. The atmosphere was lovely. Such a brilliant evening + more

Father's day gifts to make his day
As Father’s Day 2024 approaches, it’s easy to leave your present planning until the last minute and get lost in the endless selection of gifts for Dad. If you’ve exhausted your usual go-to ideas and want to find something a little different to show your Dad how much you care, our gift experiences are a surefire way to avoid the cliché presents and make this Father’s Day one to remember.
Whether he’s a skilled chef that takes great delight in showcasing those cooking skills or an aspiring artist ready to grab his sketchbook and learn to draw, there’s sure to be a close-by class that he’ll love. Our DIY gifts for Father’s Day are perfect for those dads who always seem to be toting a different tool around the house. Help him swap the shed for one of the many local craft workshops on offer this Father’s Day — it’s a brilliant chance for him to stretch those creative muscles and pick up a host of impressive skills to help on his future DIY projects.
If you can’t quite put your finger on what he’d like this year and have exhausted your usual gift ideas for Dad, why not avoid the stressful shopping and surprise him with one of our experience gift vouchers instead? It doesn’t matter if he’s spending his Father’s Day out in London or wants to try a flavourful cooking class in Glasgow; you’ll be giving him control over his creative adventure and avoiding the unwanted gifts along the way!
Experience gifts for dad
When it comes to finding unique gifts for Dad, you can’t go wrong surprising him with an experience that he’s been meaning to try for a while or hasn’t had the chance to enjoy yet. Whether you help him recreate his favourite pieces from The Great Pottery Throwdown at a wheel throwing workshop for two or treat his sweet tooth with a baking class, an experience gift will show him that you’ve put plenty of time into choosing the right present for him.
If your creative Dad has always wanted to give graffiti a go, our street art classes in London could be one of the best gifts for him. He doesn’t need to be a budding Banksy to take part. Led by a local artist, he’ll enjoy a unique alternative to traditional painting classes and soak up the sights of the city before heading to a local studio to shake and spray colours to create an artwork to take home.
You’ll never look back once you make the switch from traditional presents to our unforgettable experience gifts. On the hunt for Father’s Day ideas for your eco-conscious Pops? A sustainable session of soy candle making will soothe his busy mind and give him the perfect excuse to relax at home alongside the scents of his wax creations.
You can even join in on the fun and book a joint class together! After all, what’s a better way to celebrate your special Dad than by creating memories that you can fondly look back on for years to come?
Unique presents for dad
There are so many options to help you make Father’s Day 2024 one to remember. If your Dad would rather spend time at home in the company of his nearest and dearest, why not surprise him with an online class or a fun craft kit you can try together? From learning how to make bread and dumplings online to enjoying a virtual gin tasting in the comfort of your living room — our indoor activities will help you discover exciting hobbies without leaving the house.
It doesn’t matter if you live across the street or on the other side of the country; an online class is a brilliant chance to close the distance and pick up a new skill together. If your Dad has been searching for new things to make at home, bring a little more nature into his life with a DIY terrarium kit. He’ll combine soil, stones and succulents into a beautiful biome to decorate his desk and end the experience with an easy-to-care-for ecosystem that will still be going strong next year.
Whatever you choose, your Dad is sure to love how much thought you’ve put into Father’s Day when you trade traditional presents for an experience gift!
