The Make Lounge
Planning a party?
We pioneered the idea of crafty hen parties – see why our customers return over and over again!
Bookings start at £39 per person and include all materials, expert instruction, tools and equipment, plus tea and coffee, all in a fun, friendly atmosphere!
Our minimum guest charge is for 8 people; book a group of 15 or more and the bride-to-be goes free!
On the day of your party, you may bring your own wine/champagne (no corkage fees) and party nibbles and our team will ready the table for you. We provide wine glasses, champagne flutes, platters, bowls, cake stands, etc. with our compliments, plus iPod docking stations for you to use if you wish.
We’re also just steps away from vibrant Upper Street’s bars and restaurants and can help you with your plans before or after your crafting party!
(If you’re planning a company event, please visit our corporate page.)
How It Works:
1. Contact us with your preferred date.
Parties run Saturday afternoons, starting at 3 pm and last up to three hours, depending upon the project you make. Other days and start times depend upon availability, please ask!
2. Choose a craft (see suggestions, right) and we will check instructor availability for your group.
Once your date and craft are confirmed, we require a £100 non-refundable deposit to secure your booking.
3. We’ll take care of the rest!
We’ll ask for a final head count 10 days before your event to purchase and prepare materials.
