🎨 What happens in a Duck Painting session?

Arrive, settle in and choose your wooden duck (or another wooden piece)
We guide you step-by-step — totally beginner friendly
Paint simple blocks of colour or go detailed — it’s completely up to you
We seal your finished piece in-studio so it’s ready to take home

£3.50 per person — reserved seat, drink and biscuits included.
Everyone attending must book a place so we can ensure we have space set up for all guests.

This is an immersive painting session, not a spectator activity. For the best experience, we recommend everyone chooses something to paint. A maximum of one non-painter per group is permitted due to limited studio space.

Your reserved seat is for the hosted studio experience and is separate from the wooden item you choose to paint.

Wooden ducks: typically £26–£35, chosen and paid for during your visit.

You’ll usually find plenty of other wooden items too (vases, mushrooms, pigs, birds, elephants and more) — availability varies.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who is Duck Painting for?

Duck painting is one of our most-loved sessions because it suits almost everyone — families, friends, couples and solo visitors. Minimum age: 5 years old. Due to the length of the session and studio set-up, we’re unable to accommodate children under 5.
