We were literally spoilt for choice with the craft activities available and we had a great day out. A big thanks to Tim and Michelle who... More

Had an awesome day, spent 4 and a half hours there! Definitely recommend for all ages as our age range was 8yrs old - 41yrs! Really really good, a lot of fun and we're all really happy with what we made and did :) An amazing experience and I'm definitely going back some time. Thank you!

My niece said this was the favourite part of her trip and I certainly enjoyed having an excuse to roll... More

Superb! Once in a lifetime experience for the kids making their own pots on the porters wheel. Great venue and the staff (and owner) were BRILLIANT with the kids.
