Where to book
Mobile tutor or studio session?
The biggest decision for hen-do craft bookings is whether you want a tutor to come to your venue (Airbnb, house, bar) or whether you'll travel to a studio.
Mobile delivery is offered by The Crafty Hen, some ClassBento hosts, and independent makers on CraftCourses. It typically adds a travel surcharge (£20–£50) but saves the group coordinating travel — and means you can craft in your own space with your own drinks.
Studio sessions are easier to book on ClassBento and CraftCourses, with more availability and upfront pricing. Most pottery studios aren't mobile (kilns don't travel), so wheel-throwing hen dos are almost always studio-based.

Budget
How much does a craft hen-do cost?
Per-person costs for a 2-hour craft hen-do session typically run £30–£65, with materials usually included. Private group bookings for 8–12 people often work out to £40–£55/person. Mobile delivery adds a travel surcharge on top.
Budget roughly £45/person + travel as a midpoint for planning. A group of 10 should expect to pay £400–£550 total for a 2-hour workshop at a studio, or £500–£700 with a mobile tutor at your venue.
