Let’s Paint Pottery is a family run business located on the high street in Prestatyn, close to our own Talacre Beach Holiday Home Park! As you know Darwin Escapes HQ love to promote local businesses near our locations, this helps all our holiday guests (or current and potential owners) know what is around the local area. Let’s Paint Pottery is in the bustling seaside town of Prestatyn, just a 5 minute drive from our traditional Talacre Beach Holiday Home Park, and 15 minutes from the luxury New Pines Holiday Home Park close to Rhyl.


fun for all the family

There are creative activities for all ages, making it the perfect place to spend quality time together doing something a little bit different. Molly and Sarah will give you an exceptionally warm welcome as you walk through the door, and all the information you could ever need about painting pottery! With a wall filled with lots of different ceramic goodies to choose from (all labelled with prices for ease!) you can pick anything from a candy skull, teapot or plate to a princess castle, a mermaid or even a duck! There was even a lighthouse for you die-hard Talacre Beach fans, and the sizes vary making it perfect for the little ones to join in too!

events

Let’s Paint Pottery host regular events, from a Harry Potter themed evening, to children’s parties, hen do’s, a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to a monthly Ladies Evening, as well as a Knit & Natter afternoon for the local knitting enthusiasts! The paints used on the ceramics are non toxic, so they easily brush off clothes and don’t do any harm, making children’s parties fun and stress-free with no worrying about any damaged clothes! (or if you’re just like me and a little bit clumsy).

Shelf of pottery with both unpainted and painted pottery


the process

Once you have painted your pot (or mermaid), it will then be placed in the back room with the huge kiln, which reaches up to temperatures of 1000 degrees! Your beloved ceramic pal will wait here to be dipped in some blue protective film (Molly did explain this and I have forgotten…sorry Molly!), and they are then placed inside the kiln to ‘cook’. Once it has been cooked and the blue film as been cleaned off, you can then pick up your much wanted ceramic buddy, this will roughly be around 10 days later. And even more amazing (to me anyway) is that they will be both dishwasher and microwave safe! If you are on holiday and can’t come back in 10 days time, then no fear as Let’s Paint Pottery will deliver your items to your home via Royal Mail, please ask at the desk for this service as there will be an extra delivery charge.

foam clay: perfect for holiday guests

If you wanted to take away your ceramic masterpiece home that day, then instead of painting you can use the Foam Clay! It comes in little pots and feels soft and slightly sticky, you it place around your chosen ceramic buddy to decorate, and it then takes around 6 hours to ‘set’. Meaning that you take it away from Let’s Paint Pottery the same day, looking a little shabby, and by morning it will be all set and sparkling, ready to be paraded around to your family and friends! This is perfect for holiday guests or little ones who can’t bear the thought of being parted with their little ceramic pal!

You will love spending time doing something a little different, in a fabulously friendly atmosphere at Let’s Paint Pottery. They also have the option of Afternoon Tea while you paint if you were a little peckish, with the tea served in hand painted mugs!

Have fun during your holiday at Talacre Beach or drop in as many times you like when you’re a holiday home owner in North Wales.

The East Somerset Railway is a fantastic day out for all the family in Cranmore, Somerset. Our own beautiful location in Somerset, Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa is a wonderful family destination and only a short drive away from the East Somerset Railway.


history

The railway has a rich history and was originally used for cargo and passengers back in 1855, but ceased to transport people in 1963. By 1967 artist David Shepard had bought two steam trains and was looking for somewhere to store them. Having looked at 31 sites, David Shepard realised the huge potential at Cranmore, and along with friends purchased the site. By the end of 1973 the East Somerset Railway was opened to the general public.


what’s on

You can enjoy a fantastic steam engine train ride and watch the Mendip Hills speed past the window in a classic form of transportation. There is also an Engine Shed Walk through tour available and a small museum where you can learn all about the evolution of the stream engine locomotive. Have a look at the charming signal box and miniature railway, both of which are only open on selected days so make sure to check the website if these are what you are looking for.

There is also a shop on-site where you can purchase or just browse through a range of books, DVDs, toys and souvenirs. Make sure to grab a bite to eat at the onside café, or bring your own and settle in the grass picnic area next to the outdoor children’s play area; the perfect place for your little ones can climb to their hearts content, as well as there being additional picnic tables by the miniature railway.


train journeys

There are many events and special train journeys throughout the year at the East Somerset Railway, from delicious dining trains such as the Sunday Lunch Train, to the perfectly delectable High Tea Train, where you can even have a glass of Prossecco. You can even book a fun Driver Experience day, where you will experience the thrills of driving and firing a steam locomotive, this is a particularly physical day but oh so rewarding when you’re steaming through the Mendip Hills. Be sure to check with the East Somerset Railway to make sure it’s right for you.

For the festive season East Somerset Railway have a whole month planned with a Santa’s Grotto Train, where all the little ones can meet Father Christmas, and the adults can indulge in a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. There will be additional entertainers, including face painters, to help keep everyone busy while waiting to see the jolly fellow himself!

So whatever the time of year the East Somerset Railway will be a fun-filled family day out!

Favourite walking trails in and around Wareham, explore the beautiful region by foot

 

Wareham Forest Lodge Retreat is brand new for 2017. Nestled in the magical Dorset woodland, it’s the perfect escape where you can relax and de-stress from the daily grind.

Return to nature at Wareham Forest Lodge Retreat where the local area is filled with walking paths ranging from coastal trails to country ambles. There is quite simply Wareham Forest walks for everyone. I’ve come up with the top 4 walking trails around Wareham that are all close to our brand new luxurious location, which offers fabulous accommodation in a magical setting.

 

the two rivers walk

These short circular trails follow footpaths along the Frome and Piddle Rivers. Surrounded by Purbeck’s wetlands, which are relatively undiscovered, you can marvel at the nature around you. The wetlands support up to 20,000 birds in the winter, as well as water voles, salmon, trout and even otters, so keep your eyes peeled for all the wildlife on your walk! The Two Rivers Walk in Wareham is three miles long and if you decide to take a winter walk in Wareham, then wellies are the best way to go. For any other time of year walking boots are recommended as some places may be a little muddy even in the summer.

 

the Wareham town walls walk

This is a popular Wareham walking trail on the walls surrounding the town. The walls date back to the 9th Century, originally being built by the Saxons to defend from Viking attacks, it surrounds the town on three sides. The wall is now grassy earth mounds surrounding the town that you can walk up to the top and follow the 1 mile trail around the town, with benches to have a picnic along the way and beautiful views of the River Piddle.

 

the commoners way

This walking trail starts only a 10 minute drive from Wareham Forest Lodge Retreat, with it starting and finishing in Kingston while taking you to the beautiful Corfe Castle and back. This 5 mile circular walking trail starts at St James’ Church in Kingston and takes you through the town, countryside and Corfe Castle village and back. There are lots of places to eat lunch or stop off and have some afternoon tea along the route, as well as there being a number 40 bus service that connects Kingston to Corfe Castle, meaning you can catch the bus to the castle and walk back, or the other way around, if you didn’t fancy the full 5 mile trek.

 

the Wareham way

This is a long distance walking trail in Wareham, being 13 miles from Wareham to Sturminster Marshall and walk through the less well known, beautiful landscapes of north Purbeck and East Dorset. Along the walk you will enjoy stunning views, shady glades, troves of wildlife and even have an Iron Age hill fort to explore! Start the trail at the beautiful Wareham Quay, with plenty of stop off points for a picnic, follow the gravel paths and public rights of way including stiles and gates along the long distance walking trail. As the Wareham Way walking trail is so long, you don’t have to do all of it, you can join and leave at any point to enjoy the most spectacular country views.

 


So why not book a holiday at Wareham Forest Lodge Retreat, relax and de-stress while getting back to nature in the magical woodland and Dorset countryside. The many Wareham walking trails will have you exploring the region at your own pace and in a beautiful setting, all while retiring back to brand new, luxurious accommodation.

Happy Exploring Ladies & Gents!
