Get Gloriously Messy at The Splatter Lab!

        Give your kids an hour of pure creative freedom! Fling, squeeze, slap, and launch paint across our giant 2-metre vertical walls in central Tunbridge Wells. Expect high-octane action, spontaneous paint battles, and kids covered in color head to toe. Think Jackson Pollock, not Picasso—no rules, just pure exhilaration. Share the laughter, get covered in colour, and unleash your inner kid alongside them. Best of all? It’s 100% washable paint, and we handle the clean-up!
         
        Ages 5–11 | Weekends & school holidays | 12–1 pm

        Every session is a new experiment

        A drip becomes a race. A splash sparks a new game. Some of the best moments come from the ideas you and your kids invent along the way, so there’s always room for a surprise.

        How your paint adventure unfolds

        Our studio team kicks off each stage with quick, fun demos before unleashing you and your child on the walls!

        Raid the Splatter Bin

        The textile tactic
        We start with socks, ties, and scarves. Fling a sock slap for a massive splash, or sweep a tie through wet paint for wild, sweeping speed-streaks across your wall!

        The rubbery raid

        The Rubbery Raid
        Next come the combs, spatulas, and chunky sponges. Drag patterns through dripping layers, make giant smears, and stamp your mark on the studio.

        Paint Bombs AWAY!

        Paint bombs & throwing
        Now for the main event—our signature paint bombs. Load 'em up and launch them straight at the walls (or each other!) for high-velocity splashes and instant color explosions.

        Spray bottle splatters

        Spray bottle splatters
        Finish strong with mega-spray bottles! Blast mist across your wall, launch long-range splatters, and watch colorful rivers race all the way to the floor.

        Bring your own secret weapon
        Got a clean, safe household gadget at home that could fling or drag paint? Bring it along and put it to the ultimate test! Bath toys, water pistols, silicone pastry brushes, and bendy squeegees make incredible action-art weapons.

        Take a piece of the chaos home

        Take a piece of the chaos home
        Want to take a piece of the magic home? Add a 30 × 40 cm takeaway canvas for just £5 at checkout! While your giant wall mural stays in our studio gallery, your mini canvas is yours to carry home (after taking tons of photos of your wall experiments, of course!).

        Your Splatter Lab questions answered

        • Is the paint safe and washable?

          We use non-toxic, water-based, washable paints for our splatter experiments. Expect paint on skin, hair and clothes as the session gets going. Wear old clothes and shoes you are happy to get colourful, and bring a change of clothes. We cannot promise every fabric will come out spotless.

        • Will my child get covered in paint from head to toe?

          Expect a thoroughly colourful child. Clothes, arms and legs often become part of the artwork as your child gets carried away with their experiments. Come prepared for head-to-toe mess, with old clothes for the session and fresh clothes and towels for the journey home afterwards.

        • Can parents get involved too?

          Absolutely. You can join the paint experiments, let go and feel like a kid again alongside your child. Non-painting adults can watch for free. An adult must stay in the studio throughout the session to supervise, so you can share the fun from start to finish.

        • What should we bring for the journey home?

          Bring a change of clothes and a couple of towels for the car or bus journey home. Wear old clothes and shoes during the session, as paint can end up almost everywhere. We handle the studio clean-up, but your colourful crew will still need to travel home.

        • Can I drop my child off?

          No. An adult must stay in the studio throughout the one-hour session to supervise your child. Splatter Lab runs from 12–1 pm on weekends and during school holidays. You can stay to watch or get involved alongside your child while our team handles the studio clean-up.

        • Can we take any artwork home?

          Your wall artwork stays in the studio, and you are welcome to take photographs. Add a separate 30 × 40 cm takeaway canvas to your booking for £5 at checkout. Your child can paint their canvas during the session and carry their own colourful creation home afterwards.

        • What ages is Splatter Lab for?

          Splatter Lab is for children aged 5–11, with an adult staying throughout the session. Choose your preferred weekend or school-holiday date when booking. Our studio team helps your child get started with their experiments, then takes care of the studio clean-up after your visit.

        • Can we bring our own painting tools?

          Yes. Bring a clean, safe everyday object that can hold or move paint. Bath toys, silicone pastry brushes, bendy squeegees and old hairbrushes are all ideas to try. Your child can experiment with their secret weapon alongside the tools we provide in the studio.

        • What is included in the session?

          Your booking includes an hour of freestyle splatter painting on our giant 2-metre studio walls, with paints, painting tools and studio clean-up provided. Our team helps your child get started. A separate 30 × 40 cm take-home canvas is available as an optional £5 add-on.

        • Is the session loud and energetic?

          Yes. Expect loud music, dynamic lights and energetic, child-led paint experiments. Splatter Lab is a lively freestyle session rather than a quiet painting activity. If you have questions about the environment before booking, call us so you can decide whether the session suits your child.
