Beam was absolutely brilliant, she made the class fun and light hearted. We booked this as a surprise birthday present and the birthday girl loved it. Highly recommend.

Pottery Class - Throwing on the Wheel
We absolutely loved it! Birthday present for my boyfriend (his idea!) Not something I would have thought of but would recommend Dave & his patience to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you for a great afternoon. Great value for money!
Sharon Waterson
Chelsie is such a wonderful teacher. Very personable and kind and knows her stuff. The chat was always flowing but never felt intrusive or too much. I booked a private workshop for myself and my mum as a Christmas present to make Macrame wall hanging hearts. Neither of us had ever done Macrame before and Chelsie explained what we had to do very simply and patiently answered all of our questions and + more

Bud Vase Hand Building Pottery Workshop
This was my second time at the New Dawn Pottery studio, which has moved to a bigger studio since the last time. The studio is in a cool location and has a beautiful view of the canal! You can't help but feel creative there and Filipa has done a great job with it. This class was taught by Nina, who was also an amazing teacher. The class was laid back, informative and fun and Nina was funny and super + more

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon in a pleasant location with a chef and assistant who were both personable & fun to be around. Everything was set up brilliantly so as after a presentation of tasks by Chef we could all attempt to recreate his dishes with generally great success! All the delicious dishes were washed down whilst sharing a mellow Zinfandel - perfect! Although this was a generous + more

Life Drawing with Hop was a fabulous evening spent! Bought the class for a Christmas present for four of us and we all really enjoyed the session! The Ducie Street Warehouse venue is fabulous. The materials were great and both model and tutor were very professional and friendly! We will definitely book and do this again!

Bought it for a Christmas present for mum we had a fantastic time, really chilled and relaxed, was great fun
Phoebe Elliott
Aromatherapy Candle Making Workshop
I booked this class for myself and a friend as part of a birthday gift and we were so impressed by the whole experience. Lizzie was so welcoming and kind and the setting was really beautiful. The class was the perfect mix of technical skill and just having a fun. You will walk away not only with a candle you love but also feeling like you’ve learned/achieved something. I would 100% recommend this + more
Best Gifts for Him Manchester
Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas for him
Experience gifts really do make the best gifts! Whether you’re buying birthday gifts for dad, searching for surprise Christmas gift ideas for your partner or a fun experience as a gift for a special friend, an experience gift voucher can open up a world of possibilities. If the man you’re buying for has a particular interest, hobby or passion, an experience voucher gives you the chance to treat him to some time out doing the thing he loves best.
For plant lovers, a terrarium workshop, a houseplant or floristry class or a wreath making workshop are all blooming lovely options, and for the foodies, there are lots of Manchester cooking classes to choose from. If you’ve got an arty guy to buy for, one of our painting classes or drawing courses would certainly spark his interest, and for the men that love baking, our 2024 range of baking classes and delicious dessert workshops provides a batch full of tasty options.
If you’re just not sure what to go for, an open-ended experience voucher is a flexible and safe bet, allowing your recipient to choose a creative, foodie or crafty experience at a time and date suitable for him. He’ll have a great time browsing his options - from warming whisky tasting experiences and adventurous wheel throwing pottery classes to social paint and sips and unique knife making classes, he’ll love choosing something just right for him.
Personalised gifts for men to make your recipient smile
Having a look for thoughtful anniversary gifts for your partner ahead of your special day? Whether it’s your first anniversary, your silver celebration or anything in between, choose an experience gift to surprise him with and enjoy some quality time together. Head into the city and have a go at a romantic pottery making class for two, try some fun Manchester cocktail making at a mixology workshop or relax in each other’s company at a soothing watercolour painting experience.
If you’d rather stay at home, treat him (and you!) to a DIY craft kit to enjoy on a cosy evening in together - recreate your first date meal with a cooking kit and online class, try a virtual drawing course together or paint each other’s portraits with a video tutorial, a craft box full of art materials and a glass of wine by your side.
If it’s a birthday gift you’re after for your husband, boyfriend, dad, uncle, bro or mate, choosing an experience day is a great option. An experience as a gift is a fab personalised present, giving you the chance to choose something you know he’ll love and avoiding the risk of picking him a material gift he’s already got!
Choose a hands-on metal working class and surprise him with the experience of making his own knife, sword or ring, or pick a curry making cooking class or a Mexican street food experience! Other options include DIY cocktail making (he’ll love learning how to make his own mojitos!), life drawing classes or a fun and friendly paint and sip workshop where he’ll learn to paint his own artwork to take home. Go with him as a pair or get the rest of your family and friends involved and have a big old celebration together as a group!
Unique presents for the man who has everything
Got a guy to buy for who already has loads of lovely things? Looking for Valentine’s gift for him with a difference? Need 30th birthday gift ideas or 60th birthday gifts? Want to choose a unique Christmas present? Keen to find meaningful gifts for him to really make him smile on his special day? Whether it’s a romantic gift idea, a birthday pressie, a Christmas surprise or special something to say thank you to a mate or family member, picking an experience as a gift or opting for an experience gift voucher is a failsafe way to ensure you’ll be choosing something he doesn’t already have!
Experience vouchers allow your giftee to choose a foodie, crafty or arty experience at a venue, date and time perfectly suited to them! Go with them and make a day (or even a full weekend!) of it, or give them the gift of me-time and the chance to go solo to really unwind. From vegan cooking classes to axe-making workshops and glass art experiences to fluid art workshops, there really is a unique gift experience out there for everyone! Time to get browsing and spoil that special guy.
