Located at 35-37 Bourne Ave, just off The Square in Bournemouth town centre, All Fired Up is an independent coffee shop and pottery-painting studio. The venue offers a quiet space where both adults and children can paint ceramics while enjoying drinks and light bites. Well-behaved dogs are also allowed inside. They open every day of the week from 11:00 to 16:00, and booking at least 48 hours in advance is strongly recommended, particularly for weekends and larger groups.

The studio stocks over 150 different ceramic items ready to customise, ranging from plates, mugs, and bowls to teapots, flower pots, piggy banks, and tiles. Prices start at £9.00 for small pieces like tiles, with medium-sized ceramics around £15 and larger items reaching £20 or more. On top of the item price, there is a Studio Fee of £3.00 per painter. This fee covers all water-based, non-toxic paints, brushes, sponges, stencils, and design tools, as well as the final glazing and firing in their kilns. You can paint multiple pieces during a single visit under one studio fee. Once painted, items are left to be glazed and fired, taking about 7 days to be ready for collection.
In addition to drop-in pottery painting, All Fired Up offers taster sessions on the potter's wheel and evening pottery sessions for beginners who want to learn clay throwing. They also provide baby and pet print services on ceramic plates or mugs. For events, adult group bookings of up to 24 people can be arranged during normal hours, or up to 50 people for private evening events. For groups of 6 or more, a £25 deposit is required, while evening bookings for 10 or more people require a minimum spend of £200 plus a £5 studio fee per painter. They also run a popular 'Party Animals' package for children's parties, accommodating up to 25 children for 1 to 1.5 hours.
Alongside the pottery activities, the cafe serves hot and cold drinks, including coffees and teas, as well as sandwiches, paninis, and a selection of cakes with vegan and gluten-free options. The location is easily accessible, situated two doors down from Tesco, directly opposite a bus stop, and a short walk from a taxi rank or a 20-minute walk from Bournemouth train station. On-street parking, electric vehicle charging, and nearby public car parks are available nearby.
