What happens at a Heathfield 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 painting, while others add their own colours, details or little twists — both are very welcome.

The aim is simple: relax, 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 sip and paint session last? ⏰

Our Heathfield and East Sussex paint and sip sessions usually last around two hours usually staring around 7pm.

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, brewery or café setting, where you can order whatever you fancy on the night.

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

Who are Heathfield paint and sip nights good for?

Our events are great for relaxed nights out with friends, birthdays, date nights, hen parties, team socials, creative “me time”, or 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 near Heathfield?

Yes — if you’re planning a birthday, hen party, work social or team-building event, we can also help with private painting parties in Heathfield, Uckfield, Ringmer and the surrounding East Sussex area.

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