The wonderful ladies at Slap N Dash couldn’t have done more to help us host the perfect pottery painting hen party! They are so knowledgeable, patient, kind and organised. The whole thing ran so smoothly, we didn’t feel rushed at any point and everyone had a great time. Lovely well priced selection of drinks and snacks, too! Will return!

Honestly so happy with this experience. Me and my friend came to paint birthday plates for our babies! Due to baby brain I ended up spelling birthday wrong on my plate however a few days after leaving I received an email asking if I wanted to get it fixed, they quickly fixed it and you can’t even tell! I’m so thankful.

We had a great time here. A lovely venue with helpful staff, reasonably priced, and it's nice to be able to buy a warm drink and snacks there. Great little gift shop on site too. And the fish farm is a beautiful location.

Covid safe. We have been painting ceramics on many holidays and have liked all the places we have been to. But this has been our best experience yet. The tutorial at the beginning of the session was really helpful explaining why different coats of paint have different effects. This was the first time though that we have been able to use stickers, stamps and other things were available as well. The only improvement I would suggest is having hand sanitiser on each table. But the other places we have been to can learn from here.
