How the sessions work
Painting session. Six seats. Paints, brushes and water pots are on the table. A team member paints with you and talks you through your first model. First-timers get a model to paint, and the first session is free.
Learn to play Warhammer 40,000. One of the shop team teaches you the basics.
Family painting morning. For families in the school holidays. Under-16s come with an adult.
How we look after children and young people at our sessions is in our safeguarding policy.
