Private Workshops & Parties


Imagine a warm and inviting space filled with laughter, creativity, and the most delicious offering of cake.

Our private workshops and parties offer a unique opportunity to gather friends, family, or colleagues for an unforgettable experience that ignites your creativity and fosters connection. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to explore your artistic side, our creative gatherings help make memories that will last a lifetime.

At the heart of every private workshop is the chance to learn something new while being surrounded by your favourite people. Picture yourself hand pouring beautiful scented candles, playing with clay or maybe hand crafting your very own statement piece of jewellery.

Every private workshop or party here at 'by HeatherMay' is not just about the activity; it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and encouraged to express themselves. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a complete novice, the supportive atmosphere ensures that everyone can participate and enjoy the process. The satisfaction of seeing your friends or family members light up as they discover their hidden talents is truly priceless.

All our creative experiences can be tailored to suit any occasion. Birthdays, bridal showers, hen parties, team-building events, or simply a fun night in - there’s no limit to the possibilities. Each gathering can be customised to reflect your unique vision, ensuring that every detail resonates with your group’s personality and interests.
