Cobbles and Clay Cafe

You can pick from a wide selection of blank pottery and you can release your imagination through painting or the pottery workshop. The creative cafe provides you with ALL the materials you'll need, so it's really quite simple.

With a pottery selection like fire-breathing dragons, teacups and everything in between, you can paint anything. After you've finished your masterpiece, the team will take the pottery to cure it in their kiln, which will be ready to pick up in a week. They even post it to you if you're not local!

The café's inviting ambience makes for a perfect family day out. With its comfortable seating and friendly staff, it feels like a home away from home. It's a slow-paced and calming activity that you can really relax in.

Plus, the décor is brimming with artistic flair and adds to the charm! Making it a cosy spot for parents and a fascinating space for children.

The café is not just about fun; it’s educational too. Children learn about the art of pottery, the patience it requires, and the joy of creating something with their own hands. This hands-on learning experience is invaluable and offers a creative break from the digital world.

One of the most rewarding parts of the Cobbles and Clay experience is the ability to take your creation home. After the staff glazes and fires your pottery, you get to keep a personalised souvenir, a tangible memory of your day out.
