How does a virtual experience work?
Booking and enjoying a virtual experience are both very simple!
There are two types of virtual experiences:
- Experiences including delivery: For these experiences we will arrange ‘event packs’ containing materials or ingredients to be delivered to attendees ahead of the event. (Usually arriving 2 days before). Attendees just need to join the event at the specified time with their pack contents to hand.
- Experience with no delivery: For these experiences attendees will just need to join the event at the specified time.
On both of these types of experiences you may need to also provide a few materials yourself, but these are always everyday items. (E.g. for our painting workshops you will need to provide a cup of water and tissues).
