If you're within the cancellation window stated in our Terms and Conditions, you can cancel or reschedule through your profile under "Manage My Bookings." If you're having trouble, please email info@artplaylondon.co.uk for assistance.

If you've missed the cancellation window, rescheduling is unlikely as classes are pre-paid to secure the space and teacher. We’re a bit more flexible with Freeflow sessions since they don’t involve a teacher, but we still ask for at least 24 hours' notice.

Unfortunately, if you contact us after your session has started, we won’t be able to offer a refund or reschedule.

Refunds are available within the first 10 minutes of booking for public sessions, including pre-ordered food. For private sessions, cancellations 7 days prior qualify for a refund of the deposit, which is 50% of the booking. No refunds are available if the cancellation is within 7 days of the session.

For public workshops, rescheduling is allowed up to 72 hours before the start time. Free-flow sessions can be rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance. For private sessions, rescheduling is possible with a £100 fee if requested at least 7 days in advance.

Art Play’s refund and cancellation policies are detailed on our website for both public and private bookings.

Unfortunately, funds from workshop bookings can’t be transferred to cover food or drinks.

For Freeflow sessions, late arrivals are fine as long as you're okay with finishing at your scheduled end time. Sometimes, you may be able to stay for the full two hours or longer if the space isn't needed for another booking or event before closing.
