Lanchester Garden Centre bath bomb workshop gives children a colourful half-term craft day
Children at Lanchester Garden Centre will make two colourful bath bombs each, with hidden colours, fragrances and all materials included for £15.95.
Families looking for a hands-on half-term outing will find one at Lanchester Garden Centre on May 26, where children will make two bath bombs each and take them home after a 10:30 am to 12:00 pm workshop.
The session is pitched as a practical craft day rather than a quick demonstration. Children will choose their own moulds, colours and fragrances, then learn how to mix a simple bath bomb and make one version with hidden colours inside. The garden centre says the activity blends sensory play with a little science, and that there will be no mess to take home.
The price is £15.95 per child. That fee includes all materials, instructions and light refreshments, which makes the booking straightforward for parents comparing half-term activities across Durham and County Durham. The venue also says the workshops are designed for children and that spaces are limited, with these sessions usually selling out quickly. An earlier version of the workshop in 2025 carried the same £15.95 price tag and was promoted with only four places left.
There is also a safety note built into the pitch. Lanchester Garden Centre says the bath bomb recipe has been cosmetically assessed by a certified chemist, and the workshop uses allergen-free fragrances. Face masks and gloves will be provided during mixing, giving the class a more structured feel for younger makers and the adults bringing them along.
For families hoping to stretch the outing beyond the workshop itself, the event fits neatly into a longer visit. Lanchester Garden Centre points visitors towards lunch or tea in the restaurant, or a stop at Potter’s World, which the venue describes as a family attraction. Potter’s Tropical Village is also listed by the centre as a registered zoo, and the only one in County Durham, making the bath bomb class part of a bigger day out rather than a standalone hour and a half.
That combination is what gives the workshop its appeal: children leave with two finished bath bombs, not just a craft session, and parents get a simple half-term booking with the materials, refreshments and take-home results already built in.
