Frequently asked questions

​

Are food and drinks included?

No food and drink are not included in the ticket price unless explicitly stated.

​

I can no longer attend an event I have purchased a ticket for, can I cancel?

Please be aware that all ticket sales are final. Tickets are non refundable. Please see 'Ticket refund and cancellation policy' below for more information.

​

What is the minimum age?

We suggest over 14s as the event is sold as an adults painting class. Some of our venues don’t allow under 18s, and others do not allow children in the bar areas so please check with us before purchasing a ticket for under 18s. 

 

Do you run private events?

We do! We run events for all occasions - hen parties, corporate away days, team events, birthday parties, retirement parties etc. Please get in touch here.

 

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the event start time so that you can order food or get yourself a drink. Please note if you arrive more than 15 minutes after the event start time you may not be able to join the event.

 

I can’t paint, can I attend?

Most of our customers haven’t painted since they were children. All of our paintings are designed for fun and adaptability. We want you to have a good time, get creative and relax. Our artist will loosely guide you through the painting, so you can choose to follow or do your own thing. 

 

Who will be running the event?

Our events are run by local, professional, artists. This means they have their own style and the way each artists teaches may be different. 

 

Is this an art class?

It isn’t your usual ‘art class’. Everyone paints the same picture and you are guided through by a professional artist. It is a fun, feel good event. This is an experience, not an art lesson.
