Why creative workshops are the new way to socialise

In a world where so much of our connection happens online, more people are craving real, in-person experiences that feel meaningful, relaxed and genuinely social.

That’s why creative workshops are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to meet new people, learn something new, and spend time doing something that feels good for the soul.

From pottery and painting to florals and cooking, classes are no longer just about the skill itself. They’ve become a modern way to socialise, a chance to slow down, get off your phone, and connect with others over a shared experience.

There’s something special about sitting around a table, working with your hands, chatting with strangers who quickly start to feel like friends, and laughing over the small mistakes and wins along the way. The pressure is off, the atmosphere is relaxed, and conversation flows naturally when everyone is focused on creating.

That’s exactly the feeling we wanted to capture with our upcoming Vintage Cake Decorating Workshop with Lia from That Little Bakery.

This isn’t a formal class where you sit quietly and take notes. It’s a social, hands on experience designed for beginners and creatives alike. You’ll learn the art of vintage piping, and decorate your own beautiful cake, all while connecting with like-minded people in a warm, welcoming space.

Whether you come solo or with a friend, these kinds of workshops offer a rare mix of creativity and connection. You’ll leave with new skills, a cake to take home, and often, new friendships too.

Because sometimes the best memories aren’t made at loud bars or busy restaurants, they’re made around a table, covered in buttercream, learning something new together.

Ready to experience it for yourself?

If you’ve been looking for a fun, social way to meet new people, try something creative, and do something just for you, this is your sign.

Join us for our Vintage Cake Decorating Workshop with Lia from That Little Bakery and be part of an experience that’s as much about connection as it is about cake.
