I attended this lovely little studio with my daughter as we wanted to give something different to family & friends as christmas gifts. We had a lovely warm welcome from Dawn & she showed us around her lovely little studio.To add the the lovely welcome we were given hot drinks & mince pies. The class was amazing & there was no hesitation from Dawn as to answering any of our questions or concerns about our pieces that we were making.She has a lovely calming persona & was very encouraging & very complimentary with the finished products that we had made. To buy hand made glass pieces in a shop would have cost a fortune but we made our own personalised decorations for a fraction of the price! Both my daughter & I were that impressed that we booked another session & made more beautiful pieces. I wasn't even aware that we had a studio like this on my own doorstep. Looking to book further classes for Easter ❤

We went to Jumping Clay for story time where they read a story and then created a mini make related to the story. It's a fabulous experience that's a bargain at £3. The story was fun (Guess how much I Love You) and I loved that the mini make was so well lead that my 2 year old could manage the steps herself with just a little guidance. Now she has a little brown hare magnet on our fridge that reminds her of our experience together. She starts talking about both the story and making the magnet when she sees it. She was so proud of herself. And being situated whare it is, we were able to go to the park for a picnic lunch afterwards. Days like those are what childhood should be made of.

What a wonderful afternoon! Myself, sister, mum and neice attended a workshop this afternoon making planters with personality. It was a treat from my sister to us all. Fabulous fun doing something different, especially after the year we have all had so far with covid 19 and lockdown. Really enjoyable and a great experience. Felt very safe with appropraliate measures in place so no need to worry. .All materials and tools were provided. Even a great cup of tea part way through. Great teacher to keep us all on the right track and to help if needed. Would highly recommend for an afternoon of fun for a family group or group of friends. Excellent value and can't wait to see the finished results once they are fired.

We first found this Gallery over 2 years ago when looking for picture framing service, and absolutely loved the paintings. In fact, we came away with 3 very large maps which Carole framed for us, and 2 paintings. We have been back several times since and have bought several more paintings either for our home or as gifts. The Gallery has changed and improved over time and Carole has also branched out into clothes and gifts. Although a compact space, it is definitely a place to browse and immerse yourself, looking for treats. However, it's the paintings of the local Peak District landscapes which we like best - the expansiveness and huge skies over moorlands and crags are so expressive and moving. Well worth a visit and a purchase - sizes and prices vary but all are extremely good value.

I joined Alan at Edinburgh along with my two friends JP and Helen to do the last 3 days of the LeJOG ride with him, riding the entire length of Scotland Each day we rode around 100 miles, with a food stop approx every 25 miles provided by Alex in the support van We were treated to magnificent views, awesome scenery, exhilarating descents and top-class hospitality. Organisation was extremely well done and the entire trip ran flawlessly. My favourite part of the route was in the Cairgorms National Park, following beautiful river valleys, old military roads, delightful forests, and even Balmoral castle. The further North we went, the wilder, more beautiful and more remote the landscape became. The scenery was spectacular, each day the route taking us further north alongside more magnificent lochs and quiet country lanes A tough climb up to the Glenshee ski resort rewarded up with stunning views, and the descent from here down to Braemar was fast, exhilarating and well-earned. Each night at the hotel we at huge amounts of food, had a couple of beers and a much-needed rest. At every evening meal we were all chatting enthusiastically about what an awesome day we had experienced, swapping stories, viewpoints and experiences of an epic, memorable and gratifying journey. Arriving at John O’ Groats we had covered almost 350 miles, climbed over 15,000 ft of ascent, and burned around 18,000 calories each. I highly recommend this trip, and will certainly be booking with peak outdoor training again
