Ready to embrace the wonderful mess of childhood? Book your place today and let your little one's creativity run wild! All children must be accompanied by an adult, please book an adult place with your child's place.

Cancellation policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.
My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
