Had a Blast

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. ❤️

Toy Soldier Factory Fun

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 family fun in Macroom

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!

Amazing experience!

Off the path but really worth going! Painted a souvenir and it was all demonstrated how they are made. Chess sets and pewter
