What it’s like

Fine art courses and workshops for kids aged 7 to 16, from set courses to one-off sessions and birthday-style Celebration Classes.

This is a proper art studio setup, not a paint-and-chat session. Kids work with professional materials and get taught real technique, so it suits a child who's already keen on drawing or painting rather than one who just wants to splash colour about for an hour.

There's a few ways in. Set courses run over weeks if your child wants to build skills properly, individual sessions suit a one-off try, and special weekend workshops pop up on the calendar too. If you're after something for a birthday or a graduation, the Celebration Class is built for smaller groups and they say they'll take enquiries for pretty much any special occasion, which is a nice option if the usual soft play party has lost its shine.

The studio itself is in Carrow House, an open-plan room split into sections, and it doubles up for private and corporate hire too. You'll want to book ahead through their reservation form since there's no walk-in booking line to call. Parking's not an issue by the sound of it, with plenty of space for drop off and collection.

Worth knowing too that they offer free classes for children and young people aged 7 to 16 from disadvantaged backgrounds, which is a genuinely useful scheme if it applies to your family.
