Brush & Tipple

We are thrilled to invite you to an enchanting evening of painting. Immerse yourself as we paint a “Llama Drama”.

 

Even if you have never painted before or last painted at school, our artist will walk you through the whole process and surrounded by good music, company and a tipple or two, how could you not be creative!

 

Brush & Tipple supply everything from canvas to paint and even an apron, but it's advisable to wear older clothes just in case. We haven't had a problem yet, but we do encourage you to get moving into the painting groove and let your hair down. 

 

The event starts at 7pm sharp and lasts at least 2.5hrs, so it's advisable to get there a little earlier to order any food and beverages you might want before we start.

 

Looking forward to seeing you there for a different and great night out!
