We could not fault the experience at all, however there was no check in process to know who was attending and we thought people could potentially take advantage of that. My partner and I wanted a memorable anniversary gift for each other, and that’s exactly what we got. Thank you Vin and Adam!! + more

We have a whole range of creative and unique workshops that will encourage a new passion and help them form new memories, from terrarium classes and pottery workshops to cocktail masterclasses!
There are so many options for gift experiences because while Canberra might be one of the country's smaller cities, it still has so much to offer! Whether you're looking for out-there presents for men to treat your dad on his birthday or thoughtful and creative gifts for women to get mum something special for Mother's Day, our local teachers and experts are always adding new and exciting classes for people of all ages and interests. So if you're looking for unique gift ideas, let our Canberra experiences lend a helping hand!
One of our most popular Canberra gift experiences is a paint and sip class in City Walk. Your lucky gift recipient can spend an evening in the CBD painting away their worries with a tasty tipple in hand—what’s not to love? Another option is our crowd-pleasing Turkish mosaic class in hip Braddon. Whisk your giftee off to the bright colours of Turkey as they learn how to make a truly beautiful mosaic lamp. This craft class is sure to please any arty folk you know.

As cooler months approach, they’ll be able to impress friends and family with their newfound grill skills and teach everyone the tips and tricks they’ve learned. Know someone who loves happy hour? Our cocktail making classes are among our most loved experiences (who doesn’t love cocktails?). They’ll learn how to make their favourite cocktails with a pro at a cool bar in the city.

Your friends deserve a present that’s as unique as they are! So why not spoil your loved ones on their next birthday with a special present like a cooking class in the nation’s capital?

Festive gift experiences to celebrate Christmas 2026

Come and take a look at our most popular festive workshops in Canberra that make for memorable and thoughtful Christmas gifts.
For those who love the cosy spirit of Christmas, a candle making class at Instala DIY Studio could be the perfect experience gift. Your gift recipient can make their own candles and choose from over 100 scents like cinnamon, vanilla or eucalyptus, making this a gift that keeps on giving as they light their candles throughout the season. If you have a creative friend in your life, gift a Christmas glass ornament workshop at Atelier 818 in Fyshwick. Guided by local artisans, your recipient will learn how to cut and arrange coloured glass into beautiful decorations that will add a festive touch to their Christmas trees.
Food lovers will relish a Christmas cooking workshop at BBQ School, where they can learn to make everything from a delicious turkey roast to Christmas ham or even try their hand at BBQ sticky toffee pudding. This hands-on class offers the added bonus of taking home recipe cards to recreate these dishes again and again! For something a little more spirited, consider a holiday cocktail making class at Events on Fire where your loved one can mix, shake and sip on their favourite drinks.
Didn’t find what you’re looking for? No problem! There are plenty of unique festive gift experiences to celebrate Christmas 2026.
