Sam is great, taking us through step by step, patient and helpful, the venue was good and local, I likes the time being in the day as opposed to evening, the staff were amazing at Rudis, friendly attentive and helpful. I did find the venue somewhat noisy as there were lots of people, however I accept that it is a popular pub on a Saturday.

A brilliant fun night. A great group of painters led by the skill and humour of Sam.

Kara Gelston • Attended Sep 2026



What a fantastic night! Samantha was an incredible host! warm, encouraging, and genuinely amazing at guiding us through every step. She carefully walked us through the entire painting process, explaining techniques and tips in a way that made everything feel approachable and fun, even for complete beginners.
We had such a great time laughing, chatting, and creating something we were proud of by the end of the evening. The whole experience felt relaxed, social, and creative all at once. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun night out with friends or just want to try something new!


Sue Hobbs • Attended Sep 2026

Loved tonight's painting! Sam was great as always. A fun night with lots of laughs.

Salima Dhaudi • Attended Sep 2026



Really great teacher, atmosphere was a little odd because it was a very small group but besides that was alright. Teacher gives individual tips and help where needed as well as going at a pace where everyone can follow.

Another absolutely lovely evening painting with Sam.
I enjoyed doing this dog and was able to paint my own dog into the picture.
The venue was great, food and drink good as always and Sam is great fun to spend an evening with.

Came to this event with my husband and 2 daughters (15 and 13). As always Sam made the whole experience fun, with us all producing a similar but different painting. It was nice to spend a few hours together doing something different and everyone has said they would like to do it again

Cherida Damper • Attended Aug 2026



Such a lovely afternoon spent at brush party with Sam. The class took place in St Peter's church in Marlborough which was a lovely setting.
Sam was so kind and patient taking us all through how to build up the painting.
I felt really proud of my painting at the end. Thank you.

Martene Davidson • Attended Jul 2026



Another great evening led by Sam. This one I attended with 6 of my colleagues and even though someone from another party became unwell, which Sam was quick to respond to, we all had a great evening producing art we never knew we could create.

Anonymised ClassBento customer • Attended Aug 2026



Great fun. Sam is a good teacher. Everyone is friendly and supportive. Will definitely attend again.

Lorraine Neale • Attended Aug 2026

I was surprised how well my picture turned out... I usually cannot draw anything. It was fun and Samantha was an excellent teacher.

Sarah Cooper • Attended Jul 2026



Just a regular meet up with work colleagues, but every time, Sam is fantastic. It’s my third Brush Party with her, and she always explains it in such a way that makes you feel confident that you can do it. I even painted two chairs and a table today (as part of the painting). I’m already booked onto my next one!

We would definitely book again and highly recommend it.

A summer term night out for a group of teachers, two of whom had been to Brush Party before, enjoyed tonight loads. Samantha was excellent, had a great manner, means of explaining and willingness to help with disastrous leaves that resembled gherkins!!! We’ve already talked about another one in the summer holidays. Thank you, Samantha!
