Date nights, but make them fun & creative

Dinner and a movie? Groundbreaking – said no one in 2026. If you’re tired of the same old date routine, it’s time to get your hands a little messy (and a lot more creative).
Enter: the hobby date . Equal parts fun, flirty and unexpectedly bonding, these experiences let you make something together – besides just plans you’ll cancel later.

Rug making workshops

A little chaotic, very satisfying. Designing and tufting your own rug is hands-on fun, and the end result? A quirky piece that doubles as a memory of your time together.

Crochet workshops

Slow things down with crochet. It’s calming, collaborative and surprisingly addictive – plus, you leave with something handmade (even if it’s slightly wonky).

Sushi making workshops

Roll into date night with a sushi class that’s equal parts skill and laughter. From perfecting your maki to taste-testing your creations, it’s interactive, delicious and just the right amount of competitive.

Moon lamp workshops

Set the mood – literally. Craft your own glowing moon lamp while soaking in a cosy, creative vibe. It’s intimate, aesthetic and makes for a keepsake you’ll actually want to display.

Pottery or clay workshops

Channel your inner artist with clay. Whether you’re shaping bowls or just making a mess, it’s tactile, playful and perfect for breaking the ice.
