Recent reviews of Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop
- 5/5 from Julia Cu'rant, attended Oct 2025: Haft term fun. First time I took my 4yr old granddaughter for a pumpkin workshop, she had great fun sticking her tissue paper all over it. Lots of choices of colours. Chrissie ran the class, she chatted to everyone in the room, she made sure all the children had everything they needed. She was fun and friendly. Will definitely book in to another class in the future.
- 5/5 from Carole Thorne, attended Oct 2025: A wonderful one hour of creative pumpkin designing. Everyone had a different result. Great value for money, as all the equipment was supplied and more. A very patient teacher too.
- 5/5 from Kirstie Guymon, attended Oct 2025: Really enjoyable and relaxed crafting session. Hour was perfect time for my 3 year old.
- 5/5 from Karen McMahon, attended Oct 2025: We attended on the first day of half term & my son thoroughly enjoyed it - the teacher was friendly, the room was a lovely space & it felt good value
- 5/5 from Daisy Tong, attended Oct 2025: The teacher is very lovely, the kids learnt how to do paper mache and enjoyed making the pumpkin!
- 5/5 from Becky Scott, attended Oct 2024: 3yr old daughter had a great time. She attended with her Auntie so I didn't attend personally but they both said it was fun and she'd like to do it again.
- 3/5 from Natasha Ingall, attended Oct 2024: It was okay. The person running it was nice but I think inexperienced. She didn't have a kit herself which I thought was a bit stingy, so she couldn't demonstrate any techniques really, and she didn't inspire the kids with any ideas or designs etc. We could have bought a pumpkin and used PVA and tissue at home, really :-(
- 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2023: The instructor was friendly and great with my son, who was very energetic. It was a lovely activity for a Saturday afternoon.
- 1/5 from Hanna, attended Oct 2023: Advertised as 1 hour class, after 20 minutes kids told to hurry up as they only had 10 minutes left. When Contacted customer services told the hour is only a guide. Other reviews said they had whole hour. So maybe depends on teacher and location, make enquiries first.
- 5/5 from Yvonne Anderson, attended Oct 2022: Fantastic craft session making decoupage pumpkins. Lovely private room away from shoppers. Wide range of materials supplied for the children to use. Friendly, helpful class leader. Good value for money.
- 5/5 from Virginie Remoriquet, attended Oct 2022: Very friendly and professional staff. I highly recommend this workshop. My children and I had a really great time.
- 5/5 from Irene Parsons, attended Oct 2022: An excellent hour for my granddaughter. The instructor was very good with children, well organised.
- 5/5 from Delyth Hill, attended Oct 2022: The five grandchildren age 2 and 3/4, up to 8 loved it with the hour flying by. The teacher was great, very patient and attentive.
- 4/5 from Lesley James, attended Oct 2022: Enjoyable class for my 2 great nieces. They really enjoyed it and the pumpkins we brought home are lovely. Thank you Rachel.
