The venue is perfect, lovely and bright with plenty of room and great music! The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The instructor is fabulous, friendly, and knowledgable. The people in the group really added to the experience for me; they are all quite lovely and lots of fun. Great course, will return again and be interested in other events and volunteering at CAN. Well done everyone!

Fergus 29 Sept 2026

2 thumbs up from 5 yr old grandson. Sallie was very patient and explained the process well. For another $2 or 3 I would have been happy to pay for a snack and drink as 2 hours is quite a long time for a young kid . The venue was lovely too.

A fantastic class in such an inspiring and welcoming space. Carol is an excellent, knowledgeable instructor who is patient, encouraging, and generous with her expertise. The other participants were incredibly friendly and supportive, making the class enjoyable from the very first week. CAN is a wonderful community resource that brings people together through creativity, learning, and connection. I’m so grateful to have access to programs like this in Napier and would absolutely participate in more classes in the future.

Great place to visit and a wide variety of exhibitions, workshops to attend. Very friendly, helpful staff and a very pleasant atmosphere to spend some time in. PS. Would you consider some chairs for disabled people and maybe a self service coffee/tea machine. Just a suggestion

I really enjoyed having a stall at the Creatives Market. The opening was great and it was really easy to set everything up with the tables already there and ready for our work.

Jenny 14 Jan 2026

This was a wonderful opportunity to showcase my Art and Crafts. The staff were great, communication excellent. The only negative is that there needs to be street signs advertising this venue as we are missing out on all the visitors driving along the Marine Parade.
