Lucy Fox
Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
I booked this as a birthday present for a friend and we both LOVED IT. Brandon was a great teacher, he was super patient and made the space feel very comfortable. I would recommend this activity to everyone I know, great way to spend a couple of hours in a mindfulness activity where you can focus and be creative and get a beautiful end result!
Dave Johnson
It was a lovely, intimate demonstration of choclatiering. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We made some lovey chocolates and learned so much. We think the fact it is the smallest chocolate factory makes it the best. Brilliant Christmas present for my wife. Thanks Ramnik.
Hannah Thomson
This pottery class was a birthday gift and both myself and my partner had the best time with Abi! From the moment she opened the door was high energy, happy and exciting vibes. The class was so much more than we expected, we learned and got to try and re try so many things. We felt totally chilled to be able to test and make mistakes, Abi helped us think about size, shape and style of what we wanted, + more
Ruth Olney
This was a birthday gift from some friends. I loved it. It was a sip and paint class where we painted the Northern Lights. The teacher was brilliant, so patient and kind and gave clear instruction. Materials were spot on and the venue was really good. The time flew by. Was great to connect to some creativity in a warm and friendly environment.
Daniel
Clear directions to location. Teacher was friendly, enthusiatic, put you at ease from the get go, and willing to answer all questions throughout the workshop. The materials provided were of great quality, with clear instructions of how to use them along the way. A great introduction to Kintsugi, ideal as a single/couple/group or as a gift for someone looking for craft ideas

The Ultimate Pasta Making Experience
A Flavorful Journey My partner and I got a ClassBento voucher as a Christmas present and seemed perfect to spend it with our shared love for Italian cuisine. I went without knowing anything about the Chef and was a great surprise. Host: Our host, Chef Davide, was a charismatic and skilled instructor. His passion for pasta was infectious, and he created a warm and inviting atmosphere for us. He values + more
Lorna Weaver
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.
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
Shannon Reeve
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
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
Sara Hughes
This, my first, silver clay workshop was excellent. Rebecca is a fantastic teacher. her instructions and demonstrations were clear and easy to follow. I brought the class as a present for my mum and sister and we all really LOVED it, and had a great time. We left with beautiful pieces of jewellery and big smiles. I would highly recommend Rebecca's workshop.

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

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
I this class the second time around just as much as the first! It was for my partners birthday present & he loved it just as much. We had two amazing instructors, who explained everything & gave the best advice, especially when it was our turn. Everything is provided, you do need to pay extra if you are taking then home. I believe an excellent value for money & would always come back another time + more
Keely
Potter's Wheel Taster Workshop
A wonderful gift for my 50th. Great demonstration to get us all started and loads of useful, supportive guidance throughout. Lovely venue and great value for money. Highly recommend.
Vladimir Pavez-Salinas For Andreea
Silver Jewellery Casting Workshop
Husband bought the casting class for me as a present and I absolutely loved it. Penny is a fantastic teacher and the class was such a good value for money; a whole day plus materials and so many pieces to take away. I’m definitely going back for more classes
Lin
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
Kiera Gould
Received this experience as a gift and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was great! Something really different, and very good value. We were provided with lots of drinks and snacks while we had a very clear demonstration of what we were making, and were able to take home two pots and a plant each. Highly recommended.

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!
