They have lots of tables for four or five people. You just drop in and they have a large amount of different ceramics that you can pick to paint. The price is on it. It's a flat rate whatever the price is that's all you pay. You take home your work the same day as the glaze is a no fire glaze. We were able to bring food and snacks and drinks and enjoyed our time together. They also have adult and child painting classes. I would definitely recommend coming by. They also do parties with a large room in the back as well..

You can pick from a bunch of different things to paint and there is an area to pick whatever colors you want. There are a lot of colors. They clean the brushes and give a you a bunch to choose from. They have different things for different holidays. It seems like it would be such a cute date idea maybe Valentine's Day or even just a girl's night out. It was my first time doing something like this and I lobed it!

Burroughs is a great asset to the community. They offer meeting spaces, activities for children, a…read morecommunity garden, citizenship classes and English language learning opportunities, among other services. I'm a big fan of the "Our Woven Community" program. It supports refugee women with opportunities to make and sell beautiful handbags, scarves and other items. I recently bought two tote bags as gifts for friends. The bags were lovely, unique, and each one included a biography of the woman who created it. My friends loved them! Our Woven Community doesn't have an official shop space in the Burroughs building, so I called ahead and when I got there the receptionist showed me bins full of items for sale. They also sell the products online and at craft fairs, farmers markets, etc. Half the proceeds go to the women directly, and the other half pays for supplies, equipment, and entrepreneurial skills training.

Hello good people. I had a great experience renting this space at the Devonshire Hall. The owner…read moreallowed us access to the venue in the morning to set up. There was plenty of room for the tables and chairs they provided. The hall is already wired for your DJ of choice to use the house sound system from a balcony area that overlooks the space. The bar was a good size with a large screen TV. Three very clean bathrooms in the foyer area. We made use of the ice machine and refrigerator for your sodas and waters. The price was very reasonable for this large rental space. My only warning would be to make note of the late night sound restrictions if you're going to use a DJ and play music throughout your event. Enjoy yourself!!!

There is a bar area next to the reception area. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The balcony was a perfect spot for pictures, overlooking the grounds.

Dinner service was prompt and overall, everyone had a fantastic night celebrating the newlyweds.

*Full disclosure-I visited (twice) for a potential wedding venue only*…read more We met PJ at the Hartford Bridal Expo and he was awesome! He gave us so much info and wasn't rushing us away to talk to the other hundreds of people that were there. We told him we were looking for the Thursday before Good Friday, so most guests would already have a long weekend AND we could take advantage of the great Thursday off-peak pricing we've been seeing. PJ was so excited to hear this and started explaining all of the details of the fabulous Thursday packages they were offering at Birchwoods! This package included a cake, a photo booth, a DJ, AND A PHOTOGRAPHER, all for a reasonable price per person!!! After hearing this, we looked at pictures and immediately made an appointment to go visit the venue the following weekend. I was so impressed with the venue! The decorations are gorgeous, from the second you open the front door to the hallway to the bridal suite to the room you'd have your reception in, which happened to be set up for a wedding that was happening that evening. We also met Trish during our first visit, and she was also friendly and explaining any and everything we had questions or comments about. She was pointing out all of the decorations that are theirs, which are available for you to use for your big day to save money! PJ had told us at the expo that you can use whatever they have, from centerpieces, to table numbers to card boxes to the Mr. and Mrs. signs for the sweetheart table, all things available to you that you have to provide at many venues. Now, while we ultimately didn't choose this venue because we found another place where we could have our ceremony outside, rain or shine, Birchwoods ABSOLUTELY had my favorite bridal suite! This was the only one I saw with big gorgeous windows, which would've been great for pics while getting ready, as well as for natural light to come in while getting hair and makeup done! There was also a grooms suite in the basement, which most places don't have! So, they definitely had some great features that not many places had, and it's a place you should check out if you're looking for a venue with a lot of great features, and a reasonable price! Omg, I forgot to mention something else I loved! The ladies room! Bizarre, right? But this is the only place I saw that didn't have those tiny little stalls where you practically have to straddle the toilet for the door to swing in so you can close and lock it. I swear, between the ladies room and bridal suite I was a huge fan! Those were two things they had that beat the others, hands down!
