How it works

Prices vary depending on the creative activity selected, group size, session length, materials required, and whether the session is led by an in-house or guest instructor.

Private creative experiences start from £20 per person, with:

  • a minimum booking of 4 participants (£120 minimum charge)
  • a maximum group size of 12 participants

Some specialist workshops and premium materials may incur additional costs.

We are happy to discuss suitable workshop options and provide tailored quotes based on your group’s interests, timings, and creative experience preferences.

If your group has fewer than 4 people, you may find that booking places on one of our scheduled workshops is a more cost-effective option. Many of our workshops are suitable for friends, couples, and small groups looking for a creative experience together. View our current workshop programme to see upcoming dates and activities.
