Create the Red Barn makes for a memorable visit of creativity and recreation for all.

Choose from a vast array of unfired bisque and a wide selection of colorful paints to create crockery that is both personal and completely unique. Spend a leisurely few hours painting in a relaxed environment in our beautiful location with our friendly staff at hand to assist you with any painting techniques that you might wish to make use of.

To keep the creative juices flowing, we serve delicious coffee and drinks, and have a scrumptious cafe menu available all day, as well range of freshly baked cakes and treats, catering for all tastes and ages.

    I enjoyed the session however when it comes to the waiter, although he was very kind. It felt like he had one table that he was mainly responsible and we would get attention and help only when he could “squeeze” us in. We didn’t have a main waiter. The person that helped us with demos was a waiter serving at a different table as well we only interacted with him once. I left there feeling like i want to try create again but maybe at a different branch.

    What a great experience. My family had an amazing time and the 3 hours flew past so quickly. There are already plans for our next visit.

    Derrick was an amazing host, knowledgeable and just happy, couldn’t have been better! Thoroughly enjoyed the painting, big selection to choose from and great advice from Derrick. Also thanks to Mo Blessing for taking my little pup for playtime. Food delicious too.
