FAQs
What if I can’t even draw a stick figure?
Then you've come to the right place! We here this every time we host an event! 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.
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

My friends and I had a great night at Paint n Sip. For the first time we made our own colorful owl. Great experience.
Kelly - 9 October 2024
Came along with my brother as both enjoy painting but need a bit of pointing in the right direction! Amazed by the results, great fun and perfect way to relax and forget daily stresses. Will 100% be back

Interesting business model. As someone who is almost phobic about anything to do with art due to school/home experiences, this did not change my view. The instructor was friendly and did not push herself on participants. She gave some basic information at the start but it would have helped had she given other standard information at the start ie how to hold brush/weight to use in order to create specific lines etc. as this was not mentioned until it was too late to alter some things. I think most people there enjoyed themselves. It was not a sociable event, with people remaining in their duos. This suited us but may have been disappointing for anyone who came along looking to meet like minded people. Everyone left with something that to some degree resembled the owl.

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…

Had a lovely evening with friends everyone was nervous that they hadn't painted before but the lady ( sorry forgot her name) who was running the event, gave us step by step instructions with lovely results from us all . Was very good value for money and definitely would do it again
Chloe Boniface - 13 November 2023

Carolyn Selley - 5 November 2023
What a great evening sipping and painting! I left feeling very proud of my artistic achievement and having spent two really enjoyable hours in good company. The instructions were really easy to follow too. This way anyone can discover their hidden talent!
Lesley Slocombe - 2 November 2023
Really good evening, the class was full & at the end we all had our paintings to take home..
Angela Brown - 26 October 2023
What a fab evening, so relaxing, paint a picture you could never do on your own, come away with a personal masterpiece. Just follow what the art teacher shows you, fun and enjoyable. My second time, i shall go again.
Jamie Morey - 26 October 2023
This must be my 6th event I’ve been to now and as always I’m utterly surprised at the amazing turn out of my painting!! An easy step to step guidance where if you’ve never picked up a pain brush before, you’ll be able to follow. Rhian will make you feel super welcomed as soon as you step inside.
Marion Brereton - 26 October 2023
Lovely evening, came because I love owls and was able to paint one. Brilliant x
Peter Maisey - 26 October 2023
This was my second visit to a Paint Chill evening. Very clear instructions, and I ended up with a half decent painting. Whilst the Still and West is not the easiest of venues to get to, the views outside of the harbour and the Spinnaker Tower do add something to the event. I particularly enjoyed the background music as it was the soundtrack to earlier years. I have already booked another session, and my colleagues who attended with me want to arrange another session. Of the twenty people there last night, only a couple had not been to an event before , so you must be doing something right.
Becky Stiles - 23 March 2023
Had such a fun evening, looking forward to going again soon!
Sarah Munday - 24 February 2023
Such a great idea! Absolutely loved it!
Suzy - 17 February 2023
Loved painting the colourful owl, it allowed you to put what colour combinations you wanted too. Great teacher, fun, encouraging and easy to understand so we all got a good result
Aimee Lawrence - 17 February 2023
A lovely atmosphere! No level of art is required! Easy to follow and teacher is super helpful!!
Rachel Harrington - 16 January 2023
I'll be honest I didn't enjoy it. Maybe I was too tired but I found the bar too noisy, it was hard to hear what the person at the front was saying and I just found it all a bit rushed and stressful not relaxing like you expect
Kati Leunig - 13 January 2023
Absolutely brilliant fun! 6 of us went to celebrate my birthday.. I'd not done any art since 1986...the artists were brilliant and helpful and we all came away with some lovely owls!! Even my son (who loves art) couldn't believe I'd painted it myself! Have booked for him and me to do the tiger next!
Jenny Ayling - 13 January 2023
Great night, lovely host and perfect venue!
Helen Hobman - 7 January 2023
Second time I painted the colourful owl, I am never disappointed I urge everyone give this a go simply a wonderful way to spend a mid week evening, calorie and guilt free and you go home with a work of art created by you, amazing!
Susan Buckingham - 6 January 2023
Very enjoyable evening. Great fun. My Son and I have been to quite a few now and always have a great time.
Helen Hobman - 7 October 2022
Another fabulous evening, I cannot recommend these events highly enough, I have now attended five and loved every minute of every one of them, when 9:30 pm comes round it is always tinged with delight at my creation and sadness that another Paint n' Chill is over
Shelagh - 10 September 2022
Was great fun Everything you needed to make a great work of art - thoroughly enjoyed it Would be advisable to give time warning at end ie 10 min warning rather than brushes down we have to stop now.

A fun evening with friendly and supportive guidance from art leader. Most enjoyable.
JOHN Burrows - 28 October 2021
What a wonderful evening. Well organised and so enjoyable. Jess was a very kind teacher and everyone took home a piece of their own art. Highly recommended.
Jane - 28 October 2021
