FAQs
What if I can’t even draw a stick figure?
Then you've come to the right place! We will give you simple steps (no fancy lingo) so you can achieve great results even if you believe you have little to no artistic ability.
What if I 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.

This was my second event & attempt at painting. I really enjoyed painting the bumblebee picture. I took my friend with me this time who had never done this before. We were both very happy with the teacher, the process & our finished paintings. I've booked again for next month & my friend & I will book again together. Thank you very much

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…

Bumblebee was my second paint and chill event with Kirsty. I brought along my friend and we had a fabulous time. If you ever get a chance to go when Kirsty demos jump at it with both feet, hands and anything else with grip. You won't regret it!
Joanne Hibberd - 29 April 2024
Fantastic event, would absolutely recommend.
Esther - 28 April 2024
Kaitlyn was fun and supportive. Had a great time
Lucy Jacobs - 3 March 2024
A fun night with friends trying something different. We all managed to come away with something good enough to display thanks to the instruction from our host. Its easier than you think so give it a try!
Maria Martin - 23 November 2023
Really good evening, learning something new without any pressure, apart form put on myself!

Teresa Farmer - 27 July 2023
Fabulous evening painting a lovely bee. Have taken many of these classes and they are always amazing with great tutors. Highly recommended
Karen Webb - 5 May 2023
This will of been the 2nd class I have been part of and loved every minute of the evening, relaxing fun and a great class. My painting is up on my hall wall.
Sharon Zahra - 1 May 2023
A lovely evening, although I did expect a drink to be included in the price, as it is titled Pant n Sip Bar Event.
Roisin McGinley - 17 March 2023
I enjoyed this event from start to finish. The class was very confidently ran throughout. Rhian was helpful and friendly throughout. I was worried as not known as a painter but I was so proud of the end result.
Katie Johnson - 14 March 2023
A really enjoyable class, very easy to follow instructions and our teacher Rhian was great! Already looking at other paint-chill sessions to book on to, thank you 😊
Charlotte Nolan - 10 March 2023
Attended Paint and Sip session with my mum and sister. We had a lovely evening; really chilled, great instructions and advice and we all came away with a fabulous and unique piece of artwork. I would not consider myself to be arty/creative so was pleasantly surprised with my creation. We will be booking again
Sarah Pilbeam - 19 January 2023
Had a wonderful evening in a great environment, creating a picture of a bumble bee. In my case three Bees! I bought my friend and daughter along with me and we all agreed it was a fabulous experience. The tuition was spot on. Everything you needed was supplied. Canvas, paints apron and brushes. The painting emerged over two hours with an end result we were all proud of and could hang on a wall. Thank you, I will certainly be booking again and will be(e) spreading the word about Paint n’ Sip Bar events. Just what’s needed to lift your spirits in a cold dark January!
Stephanie Losh - 2 December 2022
Absolutely brilliant evening. So much fun, relaxed but also got to stretch out my crafty side. Artist was great, very informative and encouraging. Thoroughly recommend.
Jo Lea - 14 September 2022
What a brilliant experience! I was slightly nervous at the start but it was fantastic. I will definitely go to another class.
Jessica Howard - 1 September 2022
Really wanted to try something new! What a great night felt at ease from the time you got there! Big thank you to our teacher she was great! Already booked another and can’t wait.
Emily Lambert - 25 August 2022
Fabulous time, great instruction, look forward to the next one
Fran Jenkins - 25 August 2022
Loved it, my third time and it's always such a fun experience alongside my daughter. Being taken through all the steps to build the picture, brandishing Daddy and Baby brushes and allowing more or less anything to happen on the canvas with no-one judging the result - except perhaps myself 😂, - feeds my creativity and relaxation. It's good to be in a group of people just enjoying the experience. Charlotte leads in a friendly, fun but very skilled manner. Thank you so much
Jean Higgins - 24 August 2022
Such a fun evening, can’t wait to do another one!
Alison Norum - 24 August 2022
Great fun evening which was also relaxing.
Barry Caplen - 24 August 2022
Had a great evening painting the bumble bee. Well lead evening and great fun. We’ve booked other evenings now!
Hannah Simmons - 24 August 2022
Teacher was lovely, didn’t rush us and kept our paint and water topped up! Well done and thank you!
Helen Hobman - 21 July 2022
Great evening, so relaxing, you just forget about everything, and it is like being five years old again, thoroughly recommend, and you leave with something you have actually created which is totally unique - how cool is that!
