Each event is designed to be welcoming, sociable and beginner-friendly. You’ll be guided step by step by one of our artists, with everything you need included — canvas, easel, brushes, paints and plenty of encouragement along the way.

No experience is needed. Just choose an event, settle in with a drink or something tasty from the venue, and enjoy a creative evening out.

What happens at a Gloucestershire paint and sip event?

When you arrive, your painting station will be set up ready for you. You’ll have your own canvas, easel, brushes, paints and water pot.

One of our friendly artists will guide the group through the painting step by step, so you can follow along at your own pace. Some people stick closely to the example, others add their own twist — both are very welcome.

The aim is simple: relax, have fun, enjoy the atmosphere and leave with a finished painting you created yourself.

Do I need to bring anything?

Nope — everything is included in your ticket.

We bring:

• canvas

• easel

• brushes

• paints

• water pots

• aprons where needed

• step-by-step guidance from your artist

You just need to turn up, get comfortable and enjoy the evening.

How long does a paint and sip session last?

Most of our Gloucestershire sip and paint sessions last around two hours.

That gives you plenty of time to paint, chat, sip, snack and enjoy the process without feeling rushed.

Do I need to be good at painting?

Not at all. Our events are designed for complete beginners as well as people who already enjoy being creative.

You don’t need to have painted before, and you definitely don’t need to think of yourself as “arty”. Your artist will break the painting down into simple steps, and the atmosphere is relaxed and encouraging.

You might surprise yourself.

Is a drink included?

Drinks aren’t usually included in the ticket price. The “sip” in sip and paint simply means you’ll be painting in a relaxed pub, bar or café setting, where you can order whatever you fancy on the night.

That might be a glass of wine, a cocktail, a soft drink, a coffee or even a bowl of chips while you paint 🍟. Some people come for the drink, some come for the painting, and some come for the social side — all are welcome.

Who are Gloucestershire paint and sip nights good for?

Our events are great for:

• nights out with friends

• birthdays

• date nights

• hen parties

• team socials

• creative “me time”

• anyone looking for something different to do locally

You can come as a group or on your own. The sessions are friendly and informal, and painting gives everyone something easy to chat about.

Can I book a private paint and sip party in Gloucestershire?

Yes — if you’re planning a birthday, hen party, work social or team-building event, we can also help with private painting parties in Gloucestershire.

Private events are a great option if you’d like the painting session to come to your own venue, workplace, holiday cottage, village hall or chosen pub. We bring the painting kit and artist; you bring the people.
