Play Centre, Paint Your Own Pottery and Children's Parties
in Warrington
Warrington, Cheshire
 Crackpots!
offers adults and children alike the chance to pass a few hours in a
welcoming, safe and creative setting. Equipped with an onsite kiln,
visitors to Crackpots! can paint pottery whilst younger children can kick back, run around and have fun in the play centre - meaning adults can relax or get crafty. Even babies can get in on the action - hand or foot prints on tiles or children's clay prints make handy keepsakes for the family, especially as we all know how quickly those kiddies can grow. Oh, and by the way,.. it costs about 75% less than retail prices!
