The Painting Pottery Cafe

We are just a short walk from the train Station, in the North Laine area of Brighton. We love to help individuals or groups spend an hour or two in our fun creative environment. You can choose from 100s of ceramic items to paint or try your hand at throwing a pot. Everyone, no matter their age or ability, enjoys their experience and has something handmade and unique to show for it. If you are not local then we can post your items or you can use acrylic paints for decorative pieces and take away the same day. We also hold exhibitions from local makers and artists. Booking advisable.

My boyfriend bought us evening class spaces to make soup bowl and garnish bowls. This was a loose theme - you were encouraged to get as creative as you wanted with the design and function of the bowls. We got to try different styles of pottery making with pinch pot creations, mould made bowls and we got to learn the basics of pottery wheels and 'throw' our own bowl/mug/jug. I found the pottery making evening one of the most relaxing things I've done in a long time. There was no pressure of be good first time - there was as much clay as you wanted and needed and no time pressure, the evening didn't feel rushed at all. We went back a few weeks later and got paint our pieces and we are very happy with the results! The staff were so friendly, welcoming and encouraging to everyone, it was a lovely atmosphere to learn in.

An immersive experience that challenges you and friends with a hilarious hour of solving clues to unravel the sticky story of Lady Chastity. This bold new game takes place in the depths of England's finest drinking establishments. Brighton's version of Lady Chastity's Reserve takes place in the World's End pub, large enough for teams of up to 6 people. Will your team win Chastity's fabled aphrodisiac wine? Hurry, she doesn't suffer idiots gladly.

Polowood Shooting Ground

Clay pigeon shooting in Brighton - and a whole lot more! As well as aiming at clays and shooting air rifles, you can also fire off some arrows with our Archery Experiences and even lob a few axes too at this clay shoot ground just in-land from Brighton. We’ve got a whole range of experiences for you to choose from, so you can pick the shoot ‘em up day to suit you. Polowood shooting ground is tucked away amongst grazing farmland and woods at the foot of the lovely South Downs hills. You leave touristy Brighton behind when you hit the narrow country lane running along the bottom of the ridge that takes you to the farm estate base. It’s a pretty stunning entrance, to say the least and sets the scene for the rest of the your clay pigeon shooting day. Indeed, it’s all very countrified round these parts, with a trusty Landy often being used to transport guests around the 10 acre site. A warm welcome from Polowood shoot’s owner Gary and it’s straight into the clay pigeon shooting. This is the mainstay of this shooting ground and there’s an excellent variety of stands and shooting styles.

An excellent day with a group of four and our own instructor with Archery, Axes, and Air Rifles. Our instructors Pip and Nathan were brilliant and personable giving us a relaxed and fun experience whilst giving all the information and enthusiasm we needed. Amazing facilities for the activities with a variety of axes/knives for throwing and lots of air rifle targets, with good competition set ups as well. Toilet facilities and tea/coffee with refreshments were a bonus. Will definitely come again!

Bow Arrow Tag Archery

Bow Arrow Tag is a new exhilarating, safe and family friendly archery adrenaline sport that can be played indoors (soft play venues, gyms and halls) or outdoors (fields, parks, woods or beaches). Players use short bows to shoot ultra-safe foam-tipped arrows at the opposing team members on the field. Think dodgeball, but with a bow and arrow, this fast moving, action packed game is sure to get the adrenaline pumping. Some would say it’s a bit like paintball without the pain, bruises or welts. It’s the ultimate team sport and promotes teamwork, self-confidence, communication, leadership, fitness, tactical thinking and is just outright great fun. All the equipment is completely mobile so you can come to us or we can bring it to you. Players do not need archery skills of any kind to play, just the want to play with bows and arrows; it’s simple, safe and fun for all ages! Enjoy with friends, family or colleagues at work. Bow Arrow Tag is best played with kids ages 7 year and up, friends, relatives, colleagues and large groups of people. Communicate and work together cohesively as a team to beat your opponent. You can also choose to compete with each other by joining different sides in order to shoot your friends. Where else could you shoot Mum, Dad, your siblings or even your boss with a bow and arrow and get away with it? Our soft, foam tipped arrows are 100% ultra-safe but don’t let one of them hit you or YOU’RE OUT!!

Popped in for a drink while waiting for a train. I was going to have a beer and then saw that there was a well-priced tawny port on offer- very tasty. The barmaid was friendly and the general atmosphere was nice, especially with a few regulars in.

This is a good escape room for newbies to get you into the rhythm for a more challenging room. Its a 40 minute room but has a good concept. We particularly liked one puzzle, it was great, but no spoilers. Give it a go.
