Willow Gallery Ceramic Painting in South Norfolk

We called in here for coffee and cake on the way home from a garden centre where we gave up waiting in the cafe. This cafe was delightful. Friendly welcome, very clean toilet, good selection of homemade cakes. There was a painting class in progress so we sat in the shop with lots of lovely things to look at. We usually avoid cafetière coffee because of the sludge but we were very pleased with this coffee - lovely and clear and excellent flavour and much cheaper than espresso machine coffee usually is. It was a horrid wet and windy day but Willow really cheered me up. We will come again.

I went to buy a birthday present in the gift shop. Found a beautiful notebook and unusual card. I had no time to go to the cafe on this occassion but had visited the cafe the week before with a friend. We had a cafetiere of coffee and scones. The coffee was really good and the scones fresh and tasty

Este es uno de los muchos lugares para pintar cerámica, pero más caro. La comida es normal y porciones pequeñas. Colores de pintura variados

Buenos equipos y materiales para trabajar. pero de acuerdo con los otros comentarios, no hay consistencia en todo el equipo con amabilidad y amabilidad. La tarifa de estudio de 4, 50 sobre la cerámica se suma a toda la familia, y la comida es buena pero demasiado cara para lo que es. Tal vez debería haber una tarifa de descuento para clientes habituales si valora su costumbre.

Las damas eran serviciales, amables y acogedoras, solo íbamos a pintar, pero nos quedamos más tiempo que lo planeado y pintamos más de lo planeado, así que teníamos 2 tazones de té encantador + un chocolate caliente con crema y malvaviscos. Delicioso. Sin duda volveremos.

Such a lovely place with a great range of ceramics to paint along with very friendly and helpful staff! We went in a group of 5 of us and we had a lovely time, the pottery turned out amazing and the food was delicious!

A lovely place with a goid selection of things to buy and do,a lovely menu and the staff are very friendly and helpful

I'm a keen regular to the willow barn as I enjoy all types of painting. They have a great range of ceramics to choose from, and excellent equipment and materials to support any level of artist or age group. The set up is great, food and drink to your table should you need it, and a nice atmosphere. Most staff members are friendly and informative however this isn't as strongly consistent throughout the whole team. Although the £4.50 studio fee seems cheap when it's just yourself you have to pay for, I invited my family of 9 for my birthday and £4.50 per person when your the family soon adds up, especially on top of the ceramics cost. Perhaps a family package could be offered, to support people on different budgets. Overall, I love the place and I will certainly be back to add to my collection

Looking to make keep-sake Xmas presents and following an invitation from friends, we visited here on Sunday.First impressions were that there was ample parking and very friendly staff.The lady talked us through, after getting us a cafetière of coffee, how it worked and showed us a book with some ideas.We immediately set about choosing our ceramics to decorate, we chose a clock face, pizza plate, normal plate and tea pot coaster.After referring to pinterest we set about manipulating our twins feet to make Xmas present foot and hand printed ceramic wear.The ladies were extremely helpful and ready to undo any of our mistakes. It is not the cheapest layout but it is definitely worth it when considering the time you are given to help you make your perfect gifts. All in all including coffee ours came to £76 I think which I felt was more than fair. It was a lovely afternoon and I am looking forward to revisiting when the twins are older to let them be more involved.

The Willow Gallery Cafe was the only place serving food after 2.30pm in the area, the food was fabulous and we could sit in the sun. There were also a few little shops selling handmade and 'real material' crafts (none of the mass-produced tat you get in National Trust places!) all reasonably priced, and you can paint your own ceramics there. Lovely little collection of attractions in one small place, well worth a visit.
