It was all lovely, teacher explained everything but also made it fun. I would definitely recommend it to everyone
Ursula Lepping • Attended Oct 2026
This was a lovely experience. The teacher created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, regularly reassuring anyone who might have felt nervous or unsure about painting. As a teacher myself, I thought the painting was well-chosen and doable for those like me who are not artists! I felt like I had learned a couple of techniques, too, by the end of the evening.
Charlotte Horuz • Attended Oct 2026
Atmosphere was chilled and overall it was an enjoyable experience. There was no pressure to create something that looked exactly like the example and there was celebration of individual expressions of creativity which helped to create a relaxed, no pressure vibe. I will be returning!

Really fun experience with a great Teacher & support staff. Friendly atmosphere & non judgmental approach. This is my 2nd time at a Paint Republic event & I’ve booked a 3rd event. Great way to catch your with friends, have fun & surprise yourself with your painting efforts. Thank you Paint Republic

I have been to the paint republic classes many times, different paintings and different venues. Always a really fun experience. Lindsay is an amazing teacher. Really helps you relax and enjoy the class. Booked again for December ️
Caroline • Attended Sep 2026
We booked as a party of four, for a fun evening out. Lindsey was a superb teacher, reassuring and made a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Our party was mixed in terms of artistic ability (from none to quite creative!) yet she gave clear advice and let everyone follow their style and try something bold. Pickles was a brilliant venue, easy to find and great staff and drink choices. It was a superb evening, fun and friendly, looking forward to doing another class. Thank you!
Helen • Attended Sep 2026
Group of us booked this for a night out and we had a blast. Our host explained everything and was supportive the whole time. Who knew we could paint! We were so pleased with ourselves and can't wait to go again. My picture is already on the wall at home.
Roy Brennan • Attended Sep 2026
A great event, teacher was fun and knowledgeable, we were lead through with ease.
Helen Holbrook • Attended Sep 2026
Great fun. The lady in charge was amazing. Great banter, great talent and a really supportive environment. Loved it. Will def do it again.
Mum • Attended Sep 2026
I gifted this for my mum and her friend. Both in there mid 70s. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves but did feedback that they could not hear the advice given regarding specific painting of the cows nose and other important painting bits. This meant they were confused with where to start the painting. They did say that the person leading the paint was excellent but could have been clearer with the explanation to both side of the busy and noisy room. They also said that the lighting was low and they could have used more light.They loved the night though and would return if the painting choices were fun and colourful like the cow. They would not be keen to paint a forest/landscape or sunset.
Deborah • Attended Sep 2026
Had so much fun. Lyndsay makes it easy to produce a half way decent painting. Haven’t painted since primary school - so proud of my canvas. I’d highly recommend this as something a bit different to do. Really chilled out. Lots of laughs and jokes. Also great music playing in the background. Can’t think anything that would have made the night any better. Perfect
Gaynor Brocklebank • Attended Sep 2026
Brilliant night with fab teacher & easy to follow instructions! Will definitely be booking another one.
Jenni Murphy • Attended Aug 2026
We had a really fun evening painting tote bags. The lady running the session was lovely. We felt totally comfortable despite it being our first time. It was great to see everyone’s creations at the end all so different. Will definitely book another session soon.
Ruth Oake • Attended Aug 2026
2nd visit to paint & sip. Loved painting the tote bag which was very different to the canvas and plus side is you get a useful shopping/ beach bag out of it. Lyndsay was engaged and very entertaining. Thoroughly enjoyed it and have recommended to all my friends.
Elizabeth • Attended Aug 2026
Was a birthday gift and it was a great evening, lots of laughs and quite surprised to leave with a useable tote bag, amazing what you can do with the right teacher!!

A fun informative evening with like-minded friends. Who knew we could paint a lovely picture in 2 hours? Lucy was perfect in keeping everyone on track, helpful and gave us lots of praise and encouragement. I expect we’ll book again as we all enjoyed it so much.
Gaynor Evans • Attended Aug 2026
This was Gaynor's fifth time doing this class
Far better class as we managed to get a seat w to the front, Lots of the other participants were struggling to see though and had to repeatedly get up and go to the front of the room to see the demonstration more clearly, The tutor (Lucy) did her utmost to help with this by taking the canvas to the participants to show them what they needed to do. It is just the poor layout if the room and on no way the fault of the tutor. Still a thoroughly enjoyable class though.
Elizabeth Anderton • Attended Aug 2026
Fantastic evening with The Paint Republic once again, it was lovely to paint a make up bag which can be used daily. Chilled vibe and great atmosphere. We will return for future events.

A wonderful class. So fun and relaxing. Lindsay is a fantastic host and teacher, so encouraging and fun, makes you feel very comfortable and there is no need for any painting experience. She manages to make everyone comfortable and we all surprised ourselves with what we could create in a couple of hours and be very pleased with our paintings. The evening was just what we needed after stressful lives at home or in work. Highly recommended!
