Just turn up, get comfortable, and make the afternoon (or evening) your own.

WEDNESDAYS, 2–8 PM · FROM $25

Book your escape → See prices

What you get with every visit:

  • Bottomless loose-leaf tea and coffee, plus a complimentary sweet snack.

  • Dedicated studio space to work on your laptop, sketch, paint, collage, or journal.

  • Access to classic canvases and upcycled finds—from delicate china teacups and glassware to quirky animal figurines and trinket boxes waiting for a second life.

  • Entertainment on hand, including board games, puzzles, and our weekly midweek paint and sip mystery.

No agenda, no instructor, and no pressure. Drop in for 90 minutes or stay the whole afternoon, bring your laptop or leave it at home, and make the space your own.

Work a little, make something, solve a mystery, or just come for a cuppa. Turn up, get comfortable, and make the afternoon your own.

Your visit does more than you think. Every Creative Escape helps us offer free, regular creative sessions to young people and families in foster and adoptive care. So go on, treat yourself. It’s for a good cause…

Pick your line. Make your escape.

Six ways to spend your Wednesday. Absolutely no need to choose just one.

THIS TRAIN CALLS AT ALL STOPS

PLAY
STOP 2 · PLAY

Play

Serious fun. Absolutely optional.

Board games, puzzles and a cheeky game of Jenga. Come solo, bring friends, or bring a date.

We certainly won’t tell your boss.

CO-WORK
STOP 3 · CO-WORK

Co-work

Working from somewhere interesting beats the kitchen table.

Bring your laptop, hop on the Wi-Fi and get on with things. No networking, no icebreakers.

Your laptop is welcome.

UNWIND
STOP 4 · UNWIND

Unwind

Not every spare moment needs to be productive.

Bring a book, have a natter, enjoy the music, or simply watch the world go by.

Doing nothing is a perfectly respectable Wednesday activity.

PROPER BREW
SOLVE A MYSTERY

End of the line. Time to book your escape.

Choose your escape

A little time away from the ordinary.

Whether you’ve got 90 minutes to spare or fancy making an afternoon of it, there’s a spot waiting for you.
