Relaxed Birthday treat painting a Duck - Very relaxed atmosphere, everything is ready for you and lots of inspiration to help you on your way. I was slightly nervous before we started (I am no artist) but so happy with my Duck 🥰

Exceeded expectations and would highly recommend the experience for all ages! - Absolutely great, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience with my two grandchildren, ages 10 and 8. The session was full house and I felt the service was prompt and always helpful including tips and advice. The refreshments were deeelicious! 🤣 if I lived in the area this would definitely be a regular visit for me, even without the children. Worth every penny!

A little duck to treasure - Such a lovely relaxing afternoon choosing and painting my duck, including a drink and cake. Help was there if needed and books of designs to give inspiration but otherwise you were left to be creative. A great souvenir of my holiday.

Don't duck out of this great opportunity! - We chose this as a fun/ different experience as a couple whilst on holiday in Exeter. We felt that it was really good value, especially for such high quality items. Instructions were clear, and the activity was really well organised. The venue is cosy. The hosts were the perfect mix of friendly and professional, and came across as attentive and experienced. I 'd definitely recommend. We had a lot of fun.

Fantastic family activity! - We booked in to paint ducks as a family on a bit of a rainy day in Exmouth. We had the best time, it suited all of us from the two kids (8 & 10) who loved the painting to my husband who isn’t really the ‘arts and craft’ type! The instructions are easy to follow and help is on hand. We had some really lovely time together and the ducks make great holiday memories! I would say make sure you wear old clothes as although I was telling kids to be careful, I managed to get covered in paint!

Perfect way to relax with friends and family, while doing something creative! - I visited the Arty Boat with my mum and 3 daughters (aged 15, 18 & 21) on the last day of our holiday to Devon and we all had a great time! We started by having an afternoon tea and then spent the next few hours painting our chosen pots/ ducks, chatting away and enjoying the relaxing environment. All steps for how to go about choosing and painting our chosen items were clearly displayed and the hosts were brilliant and attentive to all our needs - we even managed to take our creations home with us on the day which was a bonus! Perfect way to end our holiday and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Exmouth :)

Calm happy painting ducks! - Tranquil music playing in the background a lot of our favourites from our youth! We were shown how to do it and then left to it, which was nice not being constantly watched. In addition to this there were instructions on different steps everywhere to follow- but if you needed anything she was happy to help. I wanted some red ribbon gluing onto my duck to neaten my painted neck, lady got me some glue and scissors to action this. Not rushed at all, which was one of my worries - my husband and I really enjoyed it.
