A mug with their own design, a plate for Grandma or a colourful animal to treasure: at The Lemon Tree Pottery Painting Café, everyone gets to make something personal. Our small, welcoming studio in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, is a lovely spot for family time, a rainy-day activity or a creative break after school. We're close to Marlow, Cookham, Maidenhead, Beaconsfield and High Wycombe.
Choose your pottery and get painting
Choose a mug, plate, bowl or ornament and turn it into something personal. Our 90-minute daytime sessions give children and adults time to paint together, with simple guidance to get you started. No experience is needed. We glaze and fire your finished designs, ready to collect in around 10 days, often sooner.
Swap the usual afternoon routine for pottery painting together. Book a 4pm session Monday to Friday, or choose a regular morning or afternoon slot, seven days a week. Coffee, hot chocolate, soft drinks and cakes are available to buy while you paint. Check the online booking calendar for availability.
Make a present with a personal touch, capture tiny handprints and footprints, or choose from seasonal pottery as Halloween and Christmas approach. The range changes and seasonal pieces are subject to stock. Birthday parties and group visits are available by arrangement, and our gift shop has plenty to browse too.
Daytime pottery painting sessions run at 09:30–11:00, 12:00–13:30 and 14:30–16:00, seven days a week. New after-school sessions run Monday to Friday at 16:00–17:30. Thursday Paint & Sip is 19:00–21:00 and requires advance booking; the evening session is separate from daytime opening. Please check the online calendar for availability, holiday changes and any extra sessions. Book ahead for weekends and school holidays. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows.
