About ColourPlay CIC

Come along to ColourPlay's Colour Room with your friends and family and Express, Connect & Play!

At ColourPlay we strongly believe in the power of freeplay to inspire creativity and connection.

With that in mind, most of our materials are available to explore at your own pace, and are included in your session price.

Draw on our graffiti wall, paint on our glass wall, create a masterpiece on canvas, splash around in our Messy Tray, create a junk-model from our recycled materials or join friends for some art on the floor. It's your session, so create your way!

Simply come in and play around with the materials available.

Unrestricted Creative Play The Whole Family Can Enjoy

We have a wide range of materials to suit all ages and stages, from our freestyle floor to canvases and acrylic paints there is something for everyone, from baby to grandparent.

Grown-ups are asked to supervise their littles and ensure they are using equipment in a way that is safe for themselves and those around them! But more than that - we want you to get involved too. Create together and you will all have more fun, and your kids will enjoy watching you get involved. Inspire their creativity, by exploring yours!

Creative Play - explore our materials in your own way

You don't need to sign up for a class, and you don't need to create the art an instructor wants you to create today. We are all about unrestricted creative play.

Book when it suits you, even if that's last minute, and simply come in and play around with the materials available.

Draw on our graffiti wall, paint on our glass wall, create a masterpiece on canvas, splash around in our Messy Tray, create a junk-model from our recycled materials or join friends for some art on the floor.

It's your session, so create your way!

Rules? What Rules? Creativity that knows no bounds

Kids love the freedom to explore in their own way, letting loose with the range of materials available and making discoveries for themselves about what art means to them!

When we say make a mess, or make a masterpiece we truly mean you are free to do what you want - we even let the kids draw and paint on the furniture!
