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.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
We aim to make our events as accessible as possible however, we are limited in Wheelchair friendly private function areas to work with. Please check with the venue directly before booking to ensure it is accessible. You can also send us a msg and we can give you guidance on our next ground floor venue.

Really great evening xx

Fabulous evening, can't recommend it enough and a lovely picture to take home too, what's not to love 🙂
Debs - 26 September 2024
A fun evening being creative. Am pleased with my painting - my only criticism of the evening is that the light in the room was dreadful. Very poor so much so I couldn't really see what colours I was using or how it looked on my canvas. A shame because it made a difference to my enjoyment!

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…

Great night! I have no artistic abilities at all but I was actually really impressed with my painting. It was very easy to follow the guidance given.
Joanne Rodaway - 8 August 2024
I have chosen these painting sessions as birthday present s for friends. So far, I’ve done 3 different sessions. My friends all said they can’t paint. But made lovely paintings and enjoyed themselves. I will be back x
Poppy Stokes - 12 July 2024
A great evening!!! I booked this for me and my mum as it’s something different to do. I couldn’t recommend more, Rhian is super friendly and a great host, and who knew that I could paint that well! (Thanks to Rhians tutorial) it was a lovely experience spending time with my mum and we got to take home a memory, thank you so much ❤️
Louise - 7 June 2024
I have wanted to learn to paint for years but I was nervous to go to a class. I decided to go to my first class, with the Paint Chill Company. I went alone & didn't know what to expect. The teacher made me feel welcome. The set up, process, guided instruction & encouragement was amazing. I really really enjoyed my experience. I am so surprised at what I managed to produce. I absolutely love it! I loved the evening & experience so much I've decided I am going to attend another class each month as part of a relaxing & creative activity for positive mental health. Plus I get to create beautiful artwork that will improve with experience to brighten our hallway & stairs. Thank you very much.

A really enjoyable evening, a great host who really spent time making sure everyone was happy and helping when it was needed. Great venue also. Just booked my next one and can’t wait!
Susan DaCosta-Greene - 28 May 2024
I took a friend who was concerned about not being able to draw to which at the end of the evening was wanting to do another one as she enjoyed it that much. Thank you so much again Paint and Chill

A great activity to celebrate our anniversary. Loved it. Thank you
Helen - 3 May 2024
I bought it as a birthday gift for my sister. It was our first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun and was made to feel very comfortable going into the unknown, and, if I may say so myself, was pretty pleased with the results. Thank you so much. Will definitely do it again. xx
Trudy - 3 May 2024
This was the first time i had been to anything like this and thought it looked the perfect birthday get together for my friend. And it was. The teacher (apologies i have the worst memory) was fabulous, funny and clear in what we had to do. My dragon fly actually looked like a dragon fly! Cannot wait to book again. Thank you
Debs - 28 April 2024
Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I’ve found a new hobby that’s for sure!

Trudy - 7 April 2024
Absolutely fabulous evening painting with paint and chill. I bought this as a birthday surprise for my friend. And we both were delighted at the experience. We made a great picture with the help of the wonderful Rihann. She was a great guide and even though we haven’t painted before. We were happy with are pictures. Fantastic evening. I’d recommend it.

We had a really lovely time at this Paint n Sip event. It was such fun to create this piece together and see the differences in our finished products.
Claire - 25 March 2024
Awesome evening learning how to paint - such a unique concept and a really fun, relaxed environment. Will be returning!
Fran Jenkins - 15 March 2024
Lovely evening as always, Rhianne led us through with our Daddy and Baby brushes, and I'm really pleased with my result, never quite as good as the original - but mine and just doing it is fun, relaxing and therapeutic, Thank you !
Sarah boxall - 29 February 2024
Fantastic, fun class, great teacher we enjoyed it so much Looking forward to next one
Alison Dudley - 27 February 2024
Fabulous afternoon with friends. Fun and therapeutic. A great experience for the heart and soul. I would thoroughly recommend and I would go back. Great teacher and we were all pleased with our creations. Everyone did well, even without previous experience. Good to have a bar and several food options in this charming venue .
Cherrie Clarke - 26 February 2024
Absolutely loved it! Me and my partner, brother, mum and mother in law loved every minute. We were a bit worried about being somewhere public (outside in) where other people could watch us but that quickly changed as we were all so invested and enraptured by the fun of it all we didn't think twice about other people. Kirstie was a fantastic host. Funny, charming, helpful and not too fast paced, just great all round. We all created something we were super proud of in the end and to our surprise and had loads of fun throughout the whole process! Thanks to Kirstie. We will definitely be attending another session!
Aimee Stratford - 25 February 2024
We had a fabulous time painting with Kirsty, it's such lovely bonding time with a loved one and to have a lovely painting after, makes you feel all bubbly and happy! See you in March!
Katy King - 12 February 2024
A fun event, passionate energetic teacher. We enjoyed the evening even though it was very busy and some us struggled to hear and see the demo.
Beth Cowen - 12 February 2024
Great enthusiastic teacher, a really fun event with friends!

This was such a fun and relaxed evening. The instruction was excellent and there was so much support in the room. We had a wonderful time.

I love these classes so much. It honestly doesn’t matter what your ability is; beginner or advanced, you can really enjoy yourself in the company of other likeminded people.
