Children’s Parties

Village Ceramics has become a very popular venue for birthday parties.

Parties are available on a Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and Friday afterschool, and Saturday. They last for two hours (apart from option 1 for 4th & 5th birthdays) for groups of up to 40 children. Different time slots are available – please call for more information. For example, on Thursday we can do 3.30-5.30 or 4-6pm and on Saturday the slots available are 11am-1pm or 2pm-4pm.

We offer two different seating areas catering for large and small parties. The main studio seats a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 20, and the back studio seats a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 9. If you have a larger group than 20 we can reserve both party areas, any groups smaller than 6 can come and do pay as you paint sessions in the front area of the studio.

We can do birthday parties for children as young as 4, however we recommend for 4th & 5th birthdays Option 1 (Tiny Tots) as this works best for the little ones, as an hour of painting is more than enough - for 6years onwards party options 2-6 are avaliable (Option 1 is purely for 4-5year olds!)

P.S We also ask parents if the number of parents staying can be kept to a minimum (i.e. party girl/boy’s family) We appreciate that with younger ones this isn’t always easy, but it allows us to do our job much better if we have space to get around to all the kids & results in a much better party – can be very tricky otherwise! There is a Costa Coffee round the corner if parents want to stay near by!

Party options available are:

	Option 1: Tiny Tots (4th & 5th Birthdays only) Paint one ceramic piece in stains to take home the same day – This party only last 1hour 30minutes, with an hour for painting & half an hour for food! Perfect for little ones!!! £12 per child
