Laura and her helpers were brilliant with everyone. Will definitely be back. Dawn Hudson2025-03-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Laura and painting pots enough. Laura hosted my six year old daughter’s party yesterday, the kids adored every second. It was fun-filled, action packed and thoroughly enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for Laura and her team. Wonderful local business and great asset to the town - we will definitely be back! Tina Youngson2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always a joy to pop in to Painting Pots in Knaresborough. I have been with my 2 year old Granddaughter, Laura is great with children and very welcoming with all the baby changing/breast feeding facilities etc if needed. 🍼Also been to evening adults sessions (bring a bottle of wine etc welcomed🍷) & today visited with a friend. Today we had snacks & coffee sold by Laura and spent a couple of hours relaxing and painting which was just perfect. Thanks as always Laura🎨💜 (pic attached of mouse feeding station with his Xmas tree in garden) Joanne Lumbers2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always have a fab time at Painting Pots. Laura and her team are absolutly brilliant. Nothing is too much. We recently didn't have time to paint all we wanted due to children being children, so we took our plate and bauble away to the caravan for the weekend and had a lovely relaxed painting hour or 2 with a glass of wine while the children slept. I'd highly recommend it. (if I knew how to add pics I would 😂) Rebecca Ferris2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a lovely morning at Painting Pots and am so pleased with my baby print plate. Kez was brilliant and helped me to get a perfect footprint, plus she entertained my little boy while I was painting. Laura and her team are so knowledgable and friendly. Definitely recommend and we will be back soon. Joleen Perry2024-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Attended the Taylor Swift night with my daughter and her friend. We had lots of fun. Laura can not do enough for anyone and there are loads of little extra painting tools, stickers and glitter... etc all included to make something extra special. Will definitely go back here 😁Load more
