​View Availablity & Book Online

 

We’re a busy little studio and ask you book your session, class or pick up slot online where you can see live availability.​​

 

We realise​ it's sometimes difficult to plan ahead. Don't worry you can always book just before coming, subject to availability of course

Booking ahead ensures you'll never arrive to find the studio closed and your visit will be at a time when your chosen activity is available.

​Useful FAQ's

What is the last date for my items to be ready for Christmas ?

View our Christmas opening hours and last dates for items to be ready in time.


These usually appear on our website anytime from October.

Do I need to book before visiting your St Neots studio?

Yes please. We ask that all visits are booked online, even if it's just 30 minutes before you arrive. If we have space we can sometimes fit in walk-ins, but booking is the only way to guarantee your spot. We don't take bookings over the phone.


Booking ahead matters most at weekends, during school holidays and in the run-up to Christmas, when we're at our busiest. Some activities, like baby handprint keepsakes, pottery classes and group workshops, only run on certain days and times, and we sometimes have private groups or big parties booked in.


It's also important to book the right session for what you want to do. If your plans change, you can usually reschedule from your confirmation email.

Are all activities available at all times?

No. Some activities only run at set times, including baby hand and footprints, clay sessions, pottery classes and events. When you book, you'll see availability for every session, class and event, so you can choose the right one and arrive when your activity is running.


Please choose the correct session type, especially for baby prints or activities that need extra time before closing.


See Availability by selecting an option on our booking page

Is Crafty Monkey open on bank holidays?

We open 10am to 4pm on bank holidays except for:

  • Christmas Day

  • Boxing Day

  • New Years Day

  • Good Friday

  • Easter Sunday

Why can I sometimes book outside your usual opening hours?

Our Opening Hours can vary in school holidays and other occasions. We sometimes:

  • open earlier or later for seasonal sessions, adult evenings and special events

  • close for off-site events, group bookings or private parties

Booking ahead means you'll never arrive to find the studio closed.

Do I need to book to collect my pottery?

Yes please.  Booking a pick-up slot to collect your finished pottery or keepsakes lets us have your order ready and means you'll arrive when we're not busy with other customers. 


We may also close the studio from time to time for off-site events, and we would hate for you to have a wasted journey.


If the time slots available don't suit, book the closest time slot and put in the booking notes what time you'll be attending, within our opening hours.

Last Dates For Making Christmas Gifts

 

Our kiln and Christmas elves work overtime in December!

 

If you want to have your pottery glazed, fired and ready to collect by Christmas Eve, please book your visit before our cut‑off dates below.

 

These deadlines ensure we have enough time to process items in time for the big day and are subject to change depending on how busy we get.  After these dates, you’re still welcome to paint as it's a fun festive activity but your pottery may not be ready after Christmas.

​

Christmas Kiln Magic

Mid October to December is our busiest firing season, and every piece goes through multiple stages before it’s ready.

 

Thank you for planning ahead and helping us get everyone’s festive creations back in time - we can’t wait to see what you make.
