Arty Parties in Chester

Create. Celebrate. Make memories.

We’ve reimagined the traditional party as a creative experience. Choose your favourite activity, enjoy great food and drinks, and every guest leaves with something they made themselves. No artistic experience needed.

Children’s parties

Beautifully organised art parties led by our experienced and qualified art teachers, in our Chester studio or brought to your home or chosen venue. Canvas, pottery, slime, sensory art, dreamcatchers, decoupage, T-shirt design and clay, tailored to the age of your group – and every child takes home something they made.

Prices: studio parties of 10 children from £310, with additional children at £14 each (teen make-a-mug is £18). Mobile parties from £400. The pottery wheel taster is £400 for up to 6, studio only.

Book for the number of people taking part. We only allow a small number of non-paying guests, as parties take place in our busy studio.

What’s included

  • Party-ready set-up – your table is laid out as a mini creative zone, ready to go.
  • All materials – paints, brushes, materials and tabletop protection.
  • Sweet sips – a hot chocolate or milkshake for every guest.
  • Two hours of creative party time in our Creative Café.
  • Bring your own cake & treats – we’ll make space for you to enjoy them.

Space & supervision: Mini Arty Parties take place in our busy Creative Studio. Because of limited space and access, we ask that only the birthday child’s parent(s) stay during the session, to keep walkways, toilets, stairs and exits clear.

For private parties of more than 10 guests, see children’s and adult parties above.
