FAQs
What if aI can no longer attend?
Tickets can be transferred to a different date up to 7 days before the event takes place. After this time, your ticket will either be forfeit or you can send someone in your place. Please note this is a strict policy as last-minute cancellations directly affect our small businesses and the Artists involved.
What should I wear?
It's a fab night out at a bar so it's good to look nice but maybe don't wear your favourite outfit as even with the provided apron there is still a chance you could get paint on it.
Can I order food and drinks during the event?
Yes it's encouraged! A whole part of the experience is making a complete night out of it. You can arrive earlier and have dinner first or order some drinks and nibbles to enjoy during. Please note no outside food or drink is allowed.

Lovely evening, very good instructions and painting turned out well
Adam - 2 August 2024
Had an amazing time, painting the whale portrait. The instructor Rhian, was great - very informative, patient, and spent time with everyone to make sure we were ok through the process. Highly recommended!!!
Louise - 2 August 2024
The whale was my 4th event with Paint & Chill & I absolutely loved it, again! The teacher was lovely, explained everything, encouraged & inspired us all to 'Trust the process' when we wobbled or thought we couldn't do it. I have my 4th painting for the hallway stairs & there is plenty of room for lots more! The only trouble is I don't know which one to pick next! Looking forward to seeing you again very soon, ladies! 😀 If you haven't booked onto one of these events, all I can say is "Why not!? Get booking you will NOT regret it!" It will be nice to see you there!

Your Teacher

As children, we love art/painting/creating but as we get older we forget how happy it makes us. It only takes one person to tell us we are no good and that's it! -we never do it again.

Jessa's goal is to remind people of the joy that art brings and the power it has to help you relax and gain confidence.

Jessa's style is to keep it simple. No fancy art lingo, easy shapes, bright colours and lots of encouragement. You may not have painted since school but you now have the right tools to…

A very fun and enjoyable experience. Kirsty was very good, funny and warm welcoming.
Amelia Hodgson - 13 October 2023
A super fun event! Rhian is an amazing instructor, super kind and encouraging, always reassures everyone to trust the process and the paintings turn out so good! Every time I’ve allowed myself to be more creative and enjoy my time, leaving with a painting I never thought I could do! Would give more than 5 Stars if possible!
Amanda Mullett - 13 October 2023
Another fantastic fun evening . Lovely surroundings and people. Relaxed atmosphere to be creative as a beginner and take home your work.
Sam Cheesman - 13 October 2023
Really enjoyed the event - second visit to a Paint and Chill night. Great guidance and atmosphere. Thank you
Ella Kilgour - 11 August 2023
A really enjoyable evening. I went on my own which wasn't a problem as the atmosphere was really warm and friendly. The teacher was lovely and I was so absorbed in my painting that the time went really quickly . Very happy with the results. Will be recommending to friends
Cassandra Owen - 20 July 2023
Absolutely love Paint and Chill. I attend with a veterans group and also paid to go to the Sip and Chill sessions with friends. I love the process of the sessions, the artist is just phenomenal and so kind, and my wall is slowly filling up with beautiful art work ...would highly recommend 👌🏻
Alice (and Hazel please!) Pryor - 16 June 2023
First time doing anything like this last night and having not painted since I was at school (a few decades ago), I was a little nervous to start with hut the instruction given, along with the lovely atmosphere meant it was a truly wonderful experience and I came away with a painting that I would proudly hang on my wall! We are looking to book to come again next month 😀 Thank you again for a lovely evening 😘
Paige Smithson - 8 June 2023
Had such a lovely evening brilliant atmosphere & the class was great, does not matter what level you can paint the tutorial works for all levels. The only reason I've marked as 4 is because for the cost it would be nice to at least have 1 drink included in the price. But would absolutely highly recommend.
Paula Hornsby - 5 May 2023
Absolutely brilliant! Daisy was really friendly and very patient! 😄 It was great fun at the right pace and we left with beautiful paintings! Thank you! 🐋💕
Melanie Page - 5 May 2023
Our teacher Daisy was patient, sweet, and encouraging. My husband and I were given the blue whale event as my birthday gift and it was great fun!
Daisy Atkinson - 18 January 2023
Such a fun evening!
Hayley Cleeve - 16 January 2023
Such a fun evening
Jennifer Ayling - 13 January 2023
A great night, lovely host and perfect venue!
Helen Hobman - 13 January 2023
Fab night, so please another great night with one of your team, always such a great time, lovely people, lots of laughs and all the worries of the day just float away and you go home with your very own work of art - cannot recommend highly enough, thank you
Dave Wakefield - 24 September 2022
Had an absolutely wonderful evening, painting over a drink, and as a result of the talented host ended up with a canvas I’m chuffed to bits with, thank you! D
Nicola Ricciardi - 15 September 2022
Amazing experience, two hours in great atmosphere
Jackie Harwood - 15 July 2022
We had an excellent evening and all walked away with paintings we were happy with despite normally not being able to draw a stick man! We will definitely be back
Sarah Brandon - 11 July 2022
Great step-by-step instructions and there was always enough time to fix bits and play around with it before moving onto the next step. Both ladies were lovely and supportive and I didn't feel pressured to have 'the best' work but just to get creative and have a good time. It was a really fun evening and even though I attended by myself I didn't feel left out of anything as the general vibe was really friendly and relaxed. I definitely hope to attend again!
Nicola - 23 August 2021
A friend and I went to the Blue Whale event, both thinking we would do terribly, especially as this was my first ever attempt at painting! But the class is broken down is such easy to follow steps that we both came out with painting at least resembling whales, and we had so so much fun in the process. Will definitely be coming to another event soon and highly recommend the events for anyone looking for a fun evening activity
Stephanie Bellchambers - 21 August 2021
Paint Chill host such great evenings - you can relax, socialise and paint a good picture with minimal effort. Would thoroughly recommend them for a night out
