About this tour
Spend three hours in a UK studio combining afternoon tea with a painting project. Tuck into finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and cake whilst you settle in, then pick a wooden or ceramic piece—a duck, vase, trinket box, or animal—and paint it under gentle guidance. All materials supplied. You leave with a finished piece the same afternoon. The space welcomes everyone, including those with mobility needs and families with young children.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a welcoming, accessible studio and settle at your table with a proper afternoon tea service. Work through the sandwiches, scones, and cakes at your own pace while getting to know the space. Once you've eaten, browse the selection of unpainted wooden and ceramic items and pick one that appeals to you. A facilitator walks you through the basics, then you paint freely—no art experience needed. Brushes, paints, sponges, masking tape and varnish are all on hand. Most pieces dry enough to finish and carry away by the end of the session.
Good to know
Book vegan or gluten-free options in advance; a £3 supplement applies. Children's tea swaps cakes for cupcakes and includes juice. Prams and service animals are welcome. Public transport links nearby mean easy arrival.
