Introduction Silver Jewellery Workshop for Beginners
The workshop was a present from my wife as I have previously designed jewellery for her. I would thoroughly recommend trying this out as it is great fun, the day just disappeared and if you are lucky you'll come home with some beautiful creations. Liz is a great teacher. She clearly explains the science and the techniques we tried out. She demonstrates each technique in easy to follow chunks at a pace + more

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.

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.

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

Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Really enjoyed the workshop. It was a surprise present for my boyfriend’s birthday who had a great time. The class was pitched perfectly and was accessible while still offering a little bit of a challenge. This all was definitely helped by Brandon whose expertise and charisma really made the experience. The studio space was lovely and created a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely + more

The dim sum making class was given to me as a birthday gift and wow, we had the best evening! Will was amazing from start to finish- he made us feel so welcome (and made us laugh throughout). He was really encouraging and, goes without saying, beyond knowledgable. The 3 different types of dim sum we made were so fun to make (and tasted delicious, we loved eating them afterwards!) It’s such a nice + more

I appreciated the intimate setting and the diverse mix of guests, + more

The silver ring class was a Xtmas gift from my daughters to me and my husband. The teacher was great. Very welcoming, very nice, funny, dynamic and very clear.

This experience was more than expected. A fantastic time was had. Louise has a gift not only in poetry making but also in her approach to teaching such a delicate skill to newbies. We enjoyed this so much the time went so fast. Will definitely be going back.
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + more

I feel the class was good value for money and the fact that it was fun and nobody was + 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.
