I came here in January 2020, After having not been to a pottery painting place since I was a child and I LOVED IT! There's a great selection of items to paint, from piggybanks to teapots, as well as a huge selection of paint colours to really make your item your own. The staff are so lovely and very helpful, giving me and my friend advice on painting techniques (as well as much needed life advice). I love my bowl that I made, i still use it to this day! The drinks were also lovely, i could have stayed all day. I cant wait to visit again, great value & fun.

Our first escape room and didn’t know what to expect. My wife loves puzzles but hates dark, scary rooms, the unexpected and frights! She was very apprehensive before we started but absolutely loved it once we figured it out and got into solving the puzzles and escaping. We both really enjoyed it and yes it is scary and frightening. We completed with 13 seconds to spare - £40 for 2 people, excellent value.

My fiancee and I experienced the titanic themed escape room today and loved every second of our time there. The host was incredible and really set the scene perfectly before we entered the room. The room itself was superb, filled with amazing and challenging, without being impossible, puzzles. The host was always on hand to offer subtle hints if needed without making us feel like we hadn't accomplished anything. Escapable would be perfect for both regulars and newcomers to the escape room experience. I cannot recommend it enough and can't wait to go back and try the next rooms when they become available.

To say I was impressed by the quality of the services at this centre is an understatement. Never in my time have I ever seen a team of marshals and support staff so enthusiastic and dedicated to provide the best experience possible. Their joyful smiles and encouragement went along way for my and my team. Being the first time I had taken my siblings on this amazing activity I was anxious that they wouldn't be included or many problems would arise. To my surprise the marshal team were clearly well trained and loved their job, they were constantly helping everyone at the centre that day and it showed in the morale of the players. I can not thank them enough for providing me an extraordinary day out and for providing my siblings the best possible introduction into a great passion of mine. I highly commend this centre for their efforts and I will surely be returning soon.
