At Arty Boat you can paint your own wooden duck or colourful pottery in a relaxed art café by the sea — and take your finished creation home the very same day.

No experience is needed and all ages and abilities are welcome, making it perfect for couples, families, friends, or even a solo creative escape.

During your fully hosted session everything is provided, including paints, materials, guidance and refreshments.

Drink and biscuits are included for every painter, and you can also upgrade your visit with delicious cakes or one of our magical Afternoon Teas.
