Doormat workshop in Albufeira for anyone who wants to spend a creative and relaxed afternoon outdoors in the Algarve making something genuinely useful to take home. Guided by Apolline and Lola from Atenda in a beautiful outdoor setting, this hands-on session gives you everything you need to design and personalise your own doormat (35x55cm) using high-quality materials and paints, your own design or one of the provided inspirations, and as much creative freedom as you want to bring to it. No experience needed, all materials included and snacks and soft drinks provided throughout.

The session is as structured or as free-form as you want it to be. You can work from design inspirations provided on the day, craft your own stencil for precise and repeatable patterns, or cut your doormat into a completely unique shape like a heart or a rainbow. Larger formats are available on request for an even more personalised result. For larger groups, an optional cocktail van experience can be added on request. You are also welcome to bring your own drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and genuinely social, making this a perfect activity for friends, couples, families and groups who want something original and memorable rather than another afternoon at the beach.
