The Kids' Canvas Painting Party lasts 45 minutes. The usual price is £8 per guest, but the listing shows £6.40 per guest and recommends ordering by 21 October to get that price. It is for children aged 3 and up, with an adult accompanying them; the adult can watch for free. Groups are 4 to 5 guests. Children paint their own wall art, using tape to create a pattern and then peeling it off to reveal crisp white lines. Each participant gets a canvas, paints, card and tape, and all materials are provided in store. Aprons are not supplied, so bring your own or wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on. Cancellation is free up to 7 days before the class. The workshop listing has a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 512 reviews.
