Mums who need some me time - I’ve found your new sanctuary! I had the most therapeutic ‘me time’ morning painting a birthday plate for my son’s first birthday. Pottering Around is a great space with loads of options to choose from (reasonably priced) and plenty of colours to paint with. Coffee that you get to finish while it’s hot (I forgot what that was like) and as much or as little help and guidance as you need from the lovely ladies that run the store. Cannot wait to go back!

We had a great time! The owner gave clear, helpful instructions and was lovely to interact with. We enjoyed being creative, chatting and having delicious hot drinks and banana bread. A worthwhile experience I would definitely recommend.

I would recommend Pottering Around to anyone of any age. It’s fun, engaging & a wonderful way to connect with your kids or catch up with friends & family or relax & enjoy your own company!

Very fun day out. Booking was for 1pm and we stayed until they closed. Coffee was good. Place was relatively quiet, we went during the school term.

Loved my experience here! You definitely need to book as it was fully booked when I came and people were being turned away due to no space. My suggestion is to know what you want to pick before you come as you have about an hour and a half For your booking which goes fast. Everything was well explained at the start of the booking. The coffee was the best I’ve had in a really long time. Will definitely come again. Only lost a point on atmosphere for being a bit small otherwise it was great!

We went and did a walk in. They were super booked out but offered to put a table outside or we could back. We were happy for a table outside. They were super helpful and so cheerful! The team were so lovely!! We had an exchange student with us and she had the best time and our mugs turned out amazingly!! This was the second time I went and it was just as fun! I know I will be back to do some more one day
