My daughter and I had a lovely time at The Activity Box, we painted and also used the foam clay, which was great fun. Abi was very good at explaining the new safety guidelines and was on hand for any queries. We also purchased a foam clay kit to take home. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

Kent Wine School

A very warm welcome to Kent Wine School - an independent wine education company. We run wine tastings and wine courses in Tunbridge Wells for people who enjoy wine and would like to learn more about it. We aim to inspire you by introducing you to different wine styles from around the world and to cut through the clutter by showing you some of the best examples of these wines. We don't sell wine but we point you in the direction of good places to buy wine in West Kent and the UK. No previous wine tasting experience is necessary.

We had a fabulous Wine Tasting evening via zoom run by Victoria, as a celebration for the end of home schooling! It was a great, fun evening with interesting presentations about the two unusual wines - I particularly loved a Georgian amber white wine which was delicious - and enjoyed learning about the story of its production. Thank you very much Victoria.

My husband and I attended a one day bread making class last week. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed, informal class which was informative and fun. Victoria is a friendly and knowledgable teacher and is very keen to share her expertise in all aspects of bread making.

Such a wonderfully enjoyable experience and you make something unique at the end of it. I did a one day class with Mattt she was so enthusiastic and ever so easy to like and get along with, truly nothing was too much trouble. During this Covid pandemic I was a little concerned about being safe because I am clinically vulnerable, but I needn't have worried because Mattt had her hygiene protocols and routine well in place and the class size was small enough to allow for good social distancing, she kept a vigilant eye on everything which allowed me to stop worrying and just enjoy the day and the wonderful new experience. We had morning tea/coffee break and for lunch Mattt even made this super tasty bread to go along with the home made soup, the lady is tireless and has so much knowledge which she is so very generous and willing to share. She made the day enjoyable because I knew within half an hour that she was just so pleasant and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend this experience to people because no prior skill set is necessary and there are so many class options available, you are spoilt for choice. I went on my own and felt very comfortable, but the choice is yours. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day out , I will return, all the very best wishes.
