I brought three girlfriends to paint Christmas ornaments with me and we had a blast! We booked online so we had fresh popcorn! All of us will be back, either with friends, families, or visitors. This is truly an enjoyable experience for any age, and one you can do side by side. Great value also. ❤️
The Toy Soldier Factory paint your own miniature was a super fun experience. My husband and I both enjoyed choosing a figure, watching it be made and then painting it. We booked online and the price was very reasonable (less expensive if booked during non-peak hours). We took our time painting as we were the only ones there during the off season on a rainy day and it was very relaxing. The staff was great and offered us free popcorn since we booked online. I would recommend for young and old alike! #finnandpippin (travel companions)
Fantastic time! It was neat to see the process for making the figures and my wife and son really enjoyed painting theirs. Not part of the “paint your own” the LOTR scenes available in the shop are incredible!
thank you so much for your kind review and I appreciate your interest in our LOTR range of Mithril Miniatures.
Off the path but really worth going! Painted a souvenir and it was all demonstrated how they are made. Chess sets and pewter
Such a great spot for kids. Our 7 year old spent an hour painting his figures, he just loved the experience and this is not a kid who likes to sit. Speaking with the small team there the history is really fascinating-I would recommend the trip. The views on the way there and back are spectacular as well!
Had an amazing experience coming here, the staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating and are obviously very passionate about the process and are happy to talk about it. Popcorn was offered part way through and we were walked through the whole process, the staff are very patient and excellent with kids. Our host was wonderful and very entertaining, overall couldn't ask for a better trip.
We stumbled across this place on a Google search on things to do. We participated as a family of 2 adults and 2 children and it was a fun family activity. We each got to pick a door and miniature figure to paint. The children were given two big bowls of popcorn while painting. It's a great experience and well worth a visit
Lots of fun seeing how the figurines were made and the quiet painting time was a nice change for me after lots of running around sightseeing.
Thanks for the lovely comment. Hope to see you again. We have a large variety of workshop choices to try out.
It was a lovely day that we spend at the toy soldier factory. Me and my wife were on honeymoon in Ireland when we heard about this lovely place. We both took a painting workshop and painted up some miniatures (were bat for me, Leprechaun for her). We loved it! It is a great afternoon spend for young and old.
Thank you for your kind review on your experience with our workshop. The Werebat is a surprising favourite despite it being quite a big figure and a bit of a monster.
