Art schools in Stoke

“My son has settled so well into ABC Audlem. He absolutely adores Carina and all the other staff at ABC. Since starting there Jah'Mari has come on in leaps and bounds. He comes home happy every day from there telling me all the wonderful things he has been doing there. All the staff are very attentive and friendly. Always tell you how the children's days have been. I would highly recommend this childcare setting for anyone looking to put thier child into nursery. Thank you for all you do for my boy he loves you all very much.”

“Being retired i found i had time on my hands and decided to get into art. Since school (where I didn't do well in art) I have only created one small watercolour and 3 drawings so as I'm a real beginner I took the plunge with Seasons Art in Congleton. Very glad I did - it's very well run by Steph and Alison and the course material was well thought out. You have to provide paper, pencils, ruler, eraser yourself but paints and pastels are supplied in abundance in class - as are tea, coffee and biscuits to help you through. Alison is lovely and an excellent teacher and very good at all the media. Steph also is lovely (never without her signature beaming smile) and provides all of the materials. Alison demonstrates the techniques etc by projecting her phone onto a huge screen making it easy to understand. She is quick to answer questions and to advise on anything you're struggling with. So I can heartily recommend the class if you're contemplating joining - it's a fantastic introduction to art amongst a group of like minded folk (my class were lovely and we had some great laughs). My only tiny criticism is that being a slow learner I would have liked a little more time on the real basics - but hey there's a lot to pack into 14 classes and I'm very proud of the work that I produced.”

“Absolutely amazing. All of the teachers are knowledgeable in their fields, friendly and encouraging. My daughter loves it and learns so much, although she thinks thats she is just having fun. She has come on leaps and bounds in confidence since joining. Security and safety of the children is paramount. It is an incredible class, inclusive of singing, acting, dancing and stage performance. I could ask for anything more for my daughter! Thank you to all the wonderful staff ❤️”

“Simon is a patient, gifted music teacher, and the lessons are enjoyable and stress free. After watching my daughters online lessons during lockdown, it inspired me to pick up a guitar again after nearly 40 years and have lessons with Simon myself, only this time an electric one!!”

“If you’re looking to try something new, definitely sign up! Our son has grown so much in confidence since he joined JK Martial Arts in July 2024, and he’s always excited to come home and show me the new moves he’s learned. Dean is an amazing instructor who really encourages everyone to do their best, and he’s helped Jack achieve his first two belts already! This hobby not only promotes physical fitness and new friendships but also instills a sense of respect that comes with the sport. From my personal experience, I can’t recommend Dean and the team enough. . From personal experience, I can’t recommend Dean and the team enough.”

“Attended the 3 day beginners painting course, the setting is absolutely beautiful, the owners are very welcoming and friendly, putting you at ease from the moment you enter. The food is amazing, everyone was very impressed. The course itself gave us the opportunity to try a variety of media and a range of different brands to see the difference. It's a good solid foundation for anyone starting out and left me wanting to go home and do more. I will definitely be booking more courses at Bullclough.”

“My son and I started here last year to allow us both to get fitter but also to allow my son and to put all his built up energy to good use, and I can honestly say I don’t regret it, Sensei Richard along with all the team have taught us both so much, very very knowledgable and patient even with an old bugger like me. Fantastic place.”

“Really cool space. Massively enjoyed going to see the Ian Mood exhibition there yesterday. Love that Stoke has places like this thanks to cool people ❤️”

“Such an amazing dance school, i honestly can not wait until my little girl is old enough to start, as I know she will be welcomed with open arms and become part of the amazing family. Growing up I knew I could always find my safe space within dance and Michelle makes that safe space feel like home. No judgment no negativity. The passion this women has and the rest of the team goes above and beyond what I’ve ever known before. Thank you for helping me through many of tough high school years xx”

“My little girl has attended TAPA for the last 6.5 years. She has learnt so much and made life long friends. Saturday is her favourite day of the week. Always professional, fun and friendly. Kerry has built something very special. Love our TAPA family ♥️”

“Fun production of Cinderella for the family at an affordable price.”

“Lunched with friends in a charming setting.Friendly attentive staff. Food was delicious. Our party ate broccoli & cheddar soup,oatcakes, full English breakfast & I had ham & tomato sandwiches salad & coleslaw.. Quality food.”

“We have just arrived home from my son’s birthday party at Lazer Quest, I can’t thank the team enough, we have had an awesome afternoon, the team were super helpful and attentive and couldn’t do enough for us, all of the children and adults for that matter had the best time. If you want a stress free, laid back but fun party where you aren’t pushed out as soon as your time is over with great party hosts this is the place for you. The party included two games of lazer quest, so much pizza, squash, slush, plates, cups and dedicated party hosts. Thanks guys, we really appreciate everything you have done for us today xxx”

“I've visited the hair and beauty and always been treated very well, they always colour my hair and cut and blow dry, I come away feeling much better, and I always get complimented on my hair. The students are always very pleasant and if they are a little unsure the tutors are very close at hand to help.”

“My lad did goalkeeper training here loved it”

“Had a 2 person riding lesson which they balanced perfectly. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Being able to learn technique while having fun was an experience most riding schools can’t fulfil, but Whitmore Riding School do.”

“A great place for outdoor creative arts events, beautiful rural setting on the Weston Coyney edge of Stoke on Trent. Great little café too. It's not glamorous but it's down to earth and a space to let your imagination go free.”
