We were a little worried beforehand because we’re not drinking at the moment and thought we might miss out on half the experience. Instead, we were able to join in by making some delicious mocktails. The dumpling making was so much fun. We learnt heaps of tips and tricks, from simple folding techniques through to more advanced styles. The instructor explained everything so clearly that it was easy to follow along. I also loved that we made far more dumplings than I expected! Once we’d finished, they cooked them three different ways (steamed, pan-fried and deep-fried) so we got to taste the different textures and flavours. There were so many that we couldn’t even finish them all! The host was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and great at breaking everything down into simple, easy to understand steps. I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun date night. + more

Teacher went above and beyond to see we had a great time. Cannot recommend enough if you're thinking of attending. Great value for money - purchased as a birthday gift experience for two and was an amazing gift that we will get to enjoy for many years now. Cosy studio space was warm and comfy (and it was raining and freezing on the day). Genuinely surprised by how well the mosaic lamps turned out. You are making it and thinking 'i'm not sure how good this looks'. Finally, once you've grouted and cleaned and wiped and its dry, you get to see and enjoy the end result of your hard work; an amazing looking lamp that just blows you away. 10/10 class. Give it a go you won't be disapppointed. Thanks for the experience Artistic Vibes, we love our lamps!! + more

Mark was super easy to organise with, and even accommodatedI booked this class to celebrate an anniversary with my boyfriend and we loved our experience. We did the ‘Birds in the Tree’ class. Mark was super easy to organise with, and even accommodated for my anniversary idea of having a larger custom tree to share with my partner rather than two individual trees. Simi and Aybike were lovely and made the whole experience super memorable. They demonstrate first, and then you are hands-on and give it a go yourself. They were very encouraging and never hesitated to jump in and help when we were stuck. It does feel a bit daunting at first, and I wouldn’t expect your first bird to be perfect, but that is what made it so much fun! Each bird is unique and we got to choose the colours and patterns for them. They explained that the tree base is made from glass scraps from their studio, and the wooden base is sourced from the wood shop downstairs. It was super cool to know! We left the experience with big smiles on our faces, and a beautiful tree to take home. I definitely made a few birds I was really proud of, and my boyfriend loved his experience gift. I’d definitely recommend this for couples, friends or even singles looking to be crafty or learn a new skill. This is a wonderful and supportive environment to learn in. We will definitely be back for another workshop (hopefully some glass fruit and veg?). + more

I would recommend this for anyone wanting to do something different as this is a dying trade. Thankyou alma I had an amazing experience. Gratefully stephen + more
Experience Gifts and Ideas Newcastle
Why Newcastle experiences make the best gifts
If you're looking for a thoughtful and meaningful way to celebrate someone special, experience gifts in Newcastle could be just the thing. Experience gifts are super versatile, allowing you to tailor your gift idea to your loved one’s unique interests and passions. Whether they love getting creative in pottery classes, perfecting their latte art in barista workshops, or exploring a world of colour in mosaic classes, there’s something for everyone.
One of the greatest benefits of giving an experience is its flexibility—when you get an experience gift voucher, your giftee has the freedom to book at a time that is convenient for them, making it easy to enjoy their gift without any stress. Another reason experiences make the best gifts is they can be more sustainable. Rather than buying more stuff that may end up in landfill, an experience gift lives on in the heart. They’re perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or a “just because” surprise. Newcastle’s diverse experiences ensure that you’re giving a truly special present that will be remembered and appreciated long after the day is over.

- Ring making workshops: For the jewellery lover, a ring making workshop provides the chance to design and create bespoke, handcrafted rings that hold personal meaning and reflect their individual style. It’s also a great gift for couples!
- Candle making workshops: For a relaxing and sensory experience, you can’t go wrong with candle making classes. What could be better than giving your loved one a moment of serenity with their handcrafted candle in their favourite scent?

Paint and sip classes are another great choice, offering a casual and creative way to spend time with friends crafting a masterpiece and sipping your favourite drinks. These experiences are best for parties, gatherings or simply spending quality time together!
