Recent reviews of Kids' Halloween Mache Pumpkin Workshop
- 5/5 from Vicky, attended Oct 2026: The teacher, Chloe, was exceptional at improvising. We had booked last minute so there wasn't the mache pumpkins in stock but we got small tea light ceramic pumpkins (which in my estimation were much better). The teacher also let us use a choice of paint or acrylic marker paint pens which were fabulous for drying time and depth of colour. Our group had a really enjoyable time.
- 5/5 from Lindsey Browning, attended Oct 2026: Attended the Pumpkin Mache session with my 5 year old daughter and 16 year old niece. Perfect fo both buddy crafters, Hannah our facilitator was fab, very friendly, organised and great with all kids and their varied abilities. Loved this workshop, fab set-up, theme very apt and bonus was 2 happy girls!!!
- 5/5 from Emma Andrews, attended Oct 2026: Great time had by my daughter! I will be booking more! Loved nit having to tidy mess.
- 5/5 from Colleen O'Hara, attended Oct 2025: Chloe was very friendly and great with the kids. demonstrated how to complete the task, and ensuring we had everything we need, encouraging the kids to be creative and praising them as they proceeded through the workshop, interacting with everyone attending.
- 5/5 from Grace, attended Oct 2024: My daughter really enjoyed this class, was a good number of places but not so crowded which meant she got to do create in a calm and enjoyable environment. Hope there will more classes offered on Saturday mornings.
- 5/5 from Laura Wilson, attended Oct 2024: The kids had a ball. The staff member Jill was amazing, the kids loved her. She made the experience for the kids. They were calling her silly Jill by the end of session. We are already booked for xmas class.
- 5/5 from Michelle, attended Oct 2023: This was great value for money. The materials given were even better than last year: it was a different style of pumpkin (means we now have a few different ones) and there were a lot more paper colour options than were given previously, which meant more creativity during the actual workshop. Irene, the instructor, was very patient with the kids, and very good at explaining what needed done. Would definitely recommend.
