You can choose a public class for a relaxing, social experience with like-minded people, or opt for a private booking if you’re planning an unforgettable birthday, unique hen party or a team building exercise with a twist.
Rejuvenating workshops and local experiences
Whether you’re looking for fun, creative courses in Bournemouth, Poole or the wider Dorset area, we have plenty of choice for unforgettable local experiences. From meditative art classes to vibrant cocktail making lessons, our workshops are a great way to meet new people, support local businesses and pick up some new skills along the way!
Enjoying arts and crafts for adults is just as important as it is for kids. After a long week, unwinding with a soothing creative activity is a time-tested way to help some of your stress melt away, leaving you mentally refreshed and rejuvenated. Enrolling in one of our courses is a brilliant way to introduce some creativity into your life: not only is it easy, taking just a few clicks to get started, but it gives you the perfect excuse to add some well-deserved ‘me’ time into your schedule. In a laid-back, welcoming environment, you’ll get to switch off from your work, focus on developing new skills and create something beautiful to enjoy with friends and family.
Find your weekends are full of loose ends? Many of our craft classes offer bookings on short notice, so within a few moments you can transform your drab Saturday afternoon into a fab experience for you and a few pals. Got a creative craving? Fancy a paint and sip class in Bournemouth? Just a couple of clicks and you’ll be trading that boxset on the sofa for a canvas and a cabernet in the city. Most of our workshops will provide all the equipment and materials needed, so all you’ll need to do is come along and have a great time.
Fun indoor activities
While the south coast is renowned for its natural beauty, sometimes the local weather just won’t play along with your plans. But don’t let the rain stand in the way of a good time - bring the workshop to your living room with our ever-growing selection of online classes and DIY craft boxes!
When it comes to looking for things to do on a rainy day for your little ones, the old standbys can get stale pretty quickly. Why not try something different with one of our online craft classes for kids? You’ll find everything from online drawing lessons for aspiring artists to DIY craft boxes for kids who love working with their hands, even kid-friendly virtual cooking classes to keep your mini Masterchef entertained. You’ll be spoiled for choice!
Grown-ups don’t have to miss out on the fun, either. Whether you’re on a busy schedule, don’t want to brave the British weather or just fancy a cosy afternoon in your pyjamas, our virtual experiences and craft boxes will bring some of our most popular craft classes to you! No need to trek into town to enjoy a relaxing, fulfilling class - from online pottery workshops to DIY candle making, simply pick a time to suit you and we’ll deliver everything you’ll need right to your door.
