Forrester's Pottery

Forrester’s Pottery is the perfect family day out in Kent, offering a warm and welcoming pottery painting café experience for all ages. Families love us because everyone can get involved, from toddlers to grandparents, making it an activity you can truly enjoy together. With a huge choice of pottery pieces to paint – from mugs and plates to fun animals and seasonal decorations – every visit is different. We provide all the materials, brushes and paints you need, and our friendly team are always on hand to give tips and guidance. Once painted, your creations are glazed and fired in our kiln, ready to be collected and treasured forever. Parents appreciate that it’s a relaxing, creative activity that keeps children entertained while also being a mindful and therapeutic experience for adults. Whether you’re looking for a rainy day activity, a special birthday treat, or just quality family time, Forrester’s Pottery offers something unique and memorable.

What makes Forrester’s Pottery different is that we’re not just another attraction – we’re a creative space where memories are made. Unlike soft play or standard cafés, here you leave with something truly personal: your own hand-painted pottery masterpiece. We cater for individuals, families, schools, community groups, and even businesses looking for team-building activities. Our bright and comfortable studio is designed to inspire creativity, with refreshments available to make your visit enjoyable and relaxing. We’re also proud to be locally owned and rooted in the community, supporting local schools and hosting special events throughout the year. Many of our visitors say they love the calm, welcoming atmosphere and the fact that their children can explore creativity away from screens. We combine the fun of a day out with the reward of a keepsake you can use or display at home. That’s what makes us stand out from the rest.

Children love visiting Forrester’s Pottery because it’s hands-on, colourful and exciting from start to finish. Instead of just watching or playing, they get to be the artist – choosing their own pottery piece, picking their favourite colours, and letting their imagination run wild. Whether it’s painting a unicorn, a superhero mug, or a dinosaur, kids take real pride in creating something that’s truly theirs. Our studio is designed to be welcoming and relaxed, with plenty of space for families and groups of friends. The paints are safe, washable and easy to use, so little ones can enjoy the activity without stress. They especially love the moment they return to collect their finished, shiny pottery piece after it’s been glazed and fired – it feels like magic! For many children, it becomes their new favourite cup, bowl, or keepsake to treasure. Parents often tell us how much their kids talk about their pottery long after the visit, making it one of the most memorable days out they’ve had. That’s why we’re a top choice for families looking for fun, creative activities for kids in Kent.
