Countryside date

  • A countryside date with no phones?

    We’ve got a couple of gentle, hands-on sessions just for two — your choice of:

    • Hand-building (cups, trays, vases — anything slow and soulful)

    • Pottery wheel (because what’s more romantic than spinning clay side by side?)

    A glass of prosecco & a little dessert to finish

    And if you like, we’ll snap a few photos while you work

  • £140 per couple
