Workshop booking terms

Last updated: 9 November 2026

Please read these terms before booking. By ticking “I accept the workshop booking terms” when you book, you agree to them. Your statutory rights are not affected.

1. About us

More Than Making is run by Luke Barry, trading as More Than Making. Email: hello@morethanmaking.com.

2. The workshops

More Than Making workshops are supervised practical classes for children, such as woodwork, building and other practical skills, held at local venues. Each workshop’s page shows, before you pay, the date, venue, class times, age range, price, the project children make, and these terms.

Children use real tools, such as hand tools and small cordless drills, at supervised workstations. Tools are matched to each age group. Children aged 7 and over may use selected cutting tools, matched to their age, only at individually supervised stations.

3. Booking and payment

• You must be 18 or over and the child’s parent or legal guardian, or have their permission, to book.
• Prices are in pounds sterling and include any VAT that applies. You pay in full when you book, through Stripe’s secure checkout.
• When you start a booking, your places are held for 30 minutes while you pay. If you don’t finish paying, they are released.
• Your booking is confirmed when payment is received and we send your confirmation email. If you don’t receive it, check your spam folder or email us.
• Places are limited. If a class fills while you are paying and we can’t honour your booking, we’ll refund you in full.
• Registering interest is free. It doesn’t reserve a place or take any payment.

4. On the day

• A parent or guardian must stay at the venue for the whole class. More Than Making is a supervised activity, not childcare, and the parent or guardian stays responsible for their child.
• Please arrive 15 minutes early. Children need closed shoes, and long hair must be tied back. We provide all the safety equipment (PPE) each activity needs, and it must be worn during all practical work.
• Children must follow staff instructions and use tools only as shown. For everyone’s safety, we may stop a child from using tools, or ask them to leave the class, if they repeatedly don’t follow safety instructions. In that case no refund is due.
• Tell us about any medical needs or allergies when you book, and let us know straight away if they change.
• Trained staff will give first aid if needed and may call the emergency services.
• Children must be within the class’s age range. If a child is booked into the wrong class, we’ll try to move them; if we can’t, we’ll refund that place.

5. If you can’t come

Contact us as soon as you can at hello@morethanmaking.com. We’ll transfer your booking to the next suitable workshop with places. Workshops are leisure services for a specific date, so the right to cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 doesn’t apply, but we’ll always try to help.

6. If we cancel or change a workshop

We may need to cancel or move a workshop, for example if a venue becomes unavailable, staff are ill, or there is severe weather. We’ll tell you as soon as we can, and you can choose a full refund or a transfer to another workshop. If we make a significant change, such as a new date or venue, and it doesn’t suit you, you can have a full refund. Refunds are paid to the card you used, normally within 14 days.

7. Photos and videos

When you book, you choose Yes or No for photography and video. We only publish photos or videos of children whose parent chose Yes. You can change your mind at any time by emailing us.

8. Our responsibility to you

We run every workshop with reasonable care and skill, and we hold public liability insurance for every workshop we publish. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can’t be limited by law. Otherwise, we aren’t responsible for losses that weren’t foreseeable, or for loss or damage to personal belongings brought to a workshop, and our total liability to you for a booking is limited to the price you paid for it.

9. Complaints

If something isn’t right, email hello@morethanmaking.com. We’ll reply within 5 working days and do our best to put it right.

10. Copyright

11. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring a claim in your local courts.
