Brush Party is about making art fun. It’s where people of all ages and abilities can come and discover their artistic side. Most people don’t believe in their own creativity when it comes to art, but Brush Party is about to change that. Our fun step-by-step approach makes painting easy.

You don’t need to have ever painted before to come to one of our events. Take a look at our calendar and choose the artwork you’d like to recreate. We walk our guests through creating their own version of our theme in easy to understand stages. You will be amazed at what you can achieve whilst having fun with friends, online or at our popular locations throughout the UK.

We had great fun and produced a pretty good painting. The time went really quickly but we were able to work at a fair pace, receiving help if we needed it. Would definitely recommend this and do it again!

Was really good session again. Loved it! Time flew by! Would 100% recommend it for anyone to give it a go

Patricia Whitfield Apr 2024


Different way to spend an evening in good company. Excellent step by step tuition and a nice picture to take home.

Clare Cambridge Apr 2024


Friendly and fun atmosphere. Would recommend as a bit of fun. Any ability is not a problem

Amie Oneill Apr 2024


First time attendees and was a great experience, easy to follow instructions, and fun to do. Would do again at some point :-)

Jayne Apr 2024


I enjoyed the event but it was a real rush to get the painting finished in the time, which became stressful.
The T&Cs re cancellation/rescheduling are different on the confirmation email to those on the website, and they wouldn't honour the T&Cs on the confirmation, which is very disappointing.
No reply to call, text or voicemail either which was equally disappointing.

Great fun as always, everything you need to have a great evening painting with friends

Jacqui Dredge Apr 2024


Everything we needed was provided, paint, brushes, aprons and canvas. We were given clear instructions and although many of us hadn’t painted since school, everyone produced a colourful painting of a dog. Great evening. Would definitely recommend it

Ann Strong Apr 2024


Just though the lady demonstrating talked too much couldnt concentrate on my painting in case I missed what she said.

Jane Chattwood Apr 2024


Fab night hubby and I loved the painting class. Everyone was so friendly and enjoying themselves

Nikki Carey Apr 2024


Attended the April event at the Cheese rollers pub. Great venue. The food and drink there was also great. This was my second brush party as we attended one before Christmas.

These parties are such a good idea. Becky and Allan the hosts are fantastic. Helpful, informative and keep everyone up to gether fairly easy. They wander round to give advice and feedback if you need/want it. It’s surprising how quickly you pick up mixing your own colours and learning new techniques. I’d definitely recommend giving a party a go if you fancy something different and added bonus you get to keep your masterpiece to display at home (or not)


Thanks once again guys. We will definitely be back for another one

Clare Bates Apr 2024


Brilliant evening really enjoyed it, this was my fourth paint party & im sure I’ll be doing another one.

Karen Deacon Apr 2024

2 ClassBento workshops attended


Attended this evening with a friend. Venue very local to us both, plenty of parking, nice inside pub.
Event was held in skittles alley, plenty of room to move abt. Lady who took class was bright and cheerful, very clear with her instructions too, could also hear her clearly. All materials were provided, plenty of paint with more given if needed.
Felt class was good value for money, times 7.00 till 9.30 was just right.

Paint and Sip Party - the Avenue - Gloucester review by Tracy - Gloucester

Val Maidment Apr 2024


A fabulous evening as always… a great painting too, although I rebelled lol … Kirsty was great giving advice and encouragement… Alan was busy taking pictures as usual a great night

Painting class review by Val Maidment - Gloucester

Rachel Holt Mar 2024


This was a present for my mum for her birthday.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and thrilled to end up with a piece of artwork each.
Friends and family have been impressed with how good our paintings are!

Very good value for money.

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Great fun - it was lovely evening out and the teachers were really friendly and encouraging!

Linda Patricia West Mar 2024


This is my partner and me 3rd visit. We love it the fact that we can produce a picture that looks fairly impressive for 2 people that can't even draw matchstick figures. Looking forward to the next session hoping to produce something worthy of The Tate gallery!

Linda Bottomley Mar 2024


Another great evening spent having fun and painting. The teacher venue and products were up to their usual great standard.

Painting class review by Linda Bottomley - Gloucester

Annette Mar 2024


Venue was great. The instruction was good although, as it was my first time a little too fast for me but understand the time constraints. Overall it was fun & I would definitely do it again.

Cherie Quick Mar 2024

1st time doing a class, went with a friend and both thoroughly enjoyed it. The host was super friendly and encouraging as was the teacher. Everyone in the class was happy and laughing, good vibes all round. Well worth the money that you pay. Pictures are of the paintings we did, the one on the left is mine and the one on the right is the original.

Linda Davis Mar 2024


My second time with the lovely Alen and Becky, such good fun????Very good in every way. I will never achieve a high standard but it really is a great experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Treated my friend for her 60th birthday. We were both a bit nervous but out teacher soon calmed up down. We had the best evening and out paintings turned out pretty good. Can't wait to do the next one.

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


A great venue and welcoming by Allen.
The concept is great, with step by step guide in how to paint an intricate picture.
This teacher was too quick- not allowing everyone to get on board with each stage. But overall a great night. Thank you

Michelle Cottrell Mar 2024

2 ClassBento workshops attended


I booked this for an evening with my two friends as something different to do and I wasn't disappointed! Everything was provided for us, instructions from our teacher (I'm really sorry that I've forgotten your name) was brilliant and step by step and I had a great time from beginning to end! 100% worth the money and I can't wait to book for next month's!

Went to the event with my work Friend who received a gift voucher as her birthday present from work.
I have been to a number of paint and sip parties before, but it was her 1st time, and at another different venue which I would never of experienced.
Our teachrr Laura was great, tell us what to do step-by-step and making sure we all stuck to time. Alan snapped away on his Camera capturing our creations as they come together.
We were both really pleased with the final outcome and nice to see others pictures too. Great friendly atmosphere, although a little loud as the event was not in a private area unlike other events I have been too before.

Now to book the next one! Just 2 more stamps until a freebie!

Nathalie Galliers-De Metz Mar 2024


This was a get together with some friends. They had been before but it was my first time. I am not an artistic person so it was slightly daunting but the teacher made it fairly easy to follow. I think I might even consider going back :)

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024

Never been before and only very recently started painting It was a lovely way to learn some techniques. All was explained clearly and the teacher was lovely and so encouraging. I'll definitely be returning.

Emma Mar 2024


It was enjoyable, had a lovely evening for a friend's birthday

I would 100% come back and do another

Julie Ford Mar 2024


This was my first Brush party and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The event was very well organised with a good teacher taking us through the process step by step and all materials were supplied.
It did seem to be a bit fast paced for me as I’ve never done anything like this before but I appreciate it needed to be completed within the time allocated. I was really pleased with my finished painting and would love to do it again.

Sophie Fisher Mar 2024


Bought this experience as a Mothers Day gift for my Mum, first time we’ve done any painting and loved it. The people running it were lovely, great venue too, all materials provided and the step by step guidance from the teacher meant ours actually turned really well :) would defo attend again.

Dagmara Mar 2024


We came as a group of four and had the best time! The atmosphere was great and even though we were in a public venue, it felt like it was a closed event. Hosts were very helpful and encouraging, they offered great explanation of the process and each step. All the tools were of very good quality and we all ended up with a beautiful painting, even though none of us are artistic. I highly recommend!

Louisa Merchant-Locke Mar 2024


5 starts for everything, a really great event and great location at the Teatro Lounge Clevedon. will definitely rebook for another one. Thank you.

Sue Woolcock Mar 2024


As alway a delightful evening. Not stressful, just relaxed painting with a drink and a good chat. Very relaxed atmosphere where everyone’s versions vary but turn out fantastic! Highly recommend after a stressful day

Mrs Hayley Cole Mar 2024


I’ve been to a couple of these and they are always so much fun!
The teacher was great, and as always Alan was on hand to encourage us!

Rachel Forward Mar 2024

Having been wanting to try one of these painting evenings for a while, I was not disappointed. The evening was very relaxed and we were talked through every step of the process. I am not very artistic but I was really chuffed with my painting.

Leanne Mar 2024


Where we were seated could not see the painting. Also the lighting is not great in places depending on where you seat.The layout might work better if was in a U-shape layout so can see from every angle.
In the end enjoy what painted as with friends.

Loved this event! Been looking forward to painting this picture for a while now. As usual Alan was super welcoming and helpful throughout the event and it’s always great to get positive encouragement as we paint. The teacher of the night was great and made each stage simple to follow along with. It was wonderful to share the evening with friends and also to see all the other creative paintings. There is always such a happy vibe and it’s great to have some time just to be and let the creativity flow!

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


A brilliant evening, supported throughout and amazingly produced a painting.
Puxton park a good venue with plenty of parking although when leaving no outside lights made it difficult to see.
I think the class was good value for money, everything was available ready to use when needed.
Lovely relaxed and fun evening, made to feel very welcomed, definitely would recommend

Attended at the Cheeserollers to paint Moongazer! Our first experience of painting and had wonderful time. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and we were delighted with the results. Would highly recommend and will definitely be attending another session

Lisa Adams Mar 2024


If you haven't already done a paint and sip brush party, you really should. The team at brush party made it fun with easy to follow steps and you get to take home your master piece. Great evening would highly recommend.

Sarah Carter Feb 2024


It was my first time at Brush and Sip Party and I had a great time.

The teachers were great and we had lots of resources, paints, brushes etc.

I was really pleased with the outcome of my canvas painting. I enjoyed mixing colours and using different techniques with the paint brushes.

Sarah Griffiths Feb 2024


Had a fantastic evening - no stress - great company - beautiful painting to take home
Thank you

Julie Allen Feb 2024


Such a fun event! I would recommend this to everyone.

The venue was perfect, a private function room in a lovely pub which has great food/drinks on offer.

Great host/teacher who greeted us and showed us to our station already set up with canvas, apron, paint and brushes. (For those of a certain age the hosts had even set up extra lighting so you could really see your canvas well!)

The instructions were clear and easy to follow with an example of the painting we were to complete at the front of the room and the instructor painted along with us to demonstrate the techniques used which was really helpful.

It was great fun with lively music, good atmosphere and amazing to see the art we all produced in a couple of hours. The time just flew.

Looking forward to another event soon

Shannon Chambers Feb 2024


Teacher Becky was amazing to follow along, she was welcoming, patient and clear with her instructions, and made sure to check in on everyone with how they were getting on with the painting. I absolutely adore big cats so the lioness painting was so fun for me to do! This was my second brush party event and I have loved both of them! Will definitely be returning! Thanks to Allenn for being an amazing assistant as well!

This was the 4th paint & sip class that I've done with my daughter. Each class was set up ready, & we had a very warm welcome from Alan.
As always we were told to trust the process & once the last few brushes of paint go onto the canvas, we all had a shower picture. Looking forward to the next one!

Painting class review by Tracy - Gloucester

Val Maidment Feb 2024


Once again I was not disappointed with tonight’s painting our artist Becky was brilliant she is very attentive advising where or what you need to do as well as Allen running around topping up our paint pallets and also standing on chairs to take photos of us … always feel welcome

Painting class review by Val Maidment - Gloucester

Debbie Feb 2024


Booked for me and my sister for her birthday. We both thoroughly enjoyed the evening and came away with a lovely painting, definitely inspired me to have a go at home. Venue was good, reasonably priced cocktails, and comfortable.

Allen was fun and took lots of photos. The class leader was lovely.

Felt slightly rushed towards end of the painting but overall a fantastic evening

Mrs Gemma Palmer Feb 2024


We had an amazing time. Great value for money topped with gin and laughter. Funny and friendly staff also helpful especially as this was our first time. Broken down into good chunks to follow. Would recommend anyone getting together with friends or family even if you are not an artist it’s about the experience.

Great atmosphere with everyone! The lady teaching the class was amazing and very helpful to those who needed help. The photographer was so funny and bought the whole atmosphere together! Venue was perfect for the class and drinks etc was perfectly priced and food.
The painting was amazing to do, and the group definitely enjoyed the whole experience! It definitely bought back some old memories from school 14 years ago!
Highly recommend to friends and family to do and hopefully we will do another one soon!

Friendly teachers
Class Wass bubbly and chatty overall

Karen Borek Feb 2024


Very enjoyable but I found it a bit rushed at times. There wasn't enough time for the paint to dry before painting on top.

Laura Guatieri Feb 2024


We had a brilliant night at the bumble bee painting our beautiful cows. I would highly recommend an evening of painting and it’s a good laugh too. We definitely want to do it again. Both the venue and teacher were great. I’m so happy with my painting.

Paint and Sip Party - the Barn Owl - Gloucester review by Helen Coney - Gloucester

Sarah Broadley Feb 2024


Fantastic evening and so relaxed and fun!
Hosts were perfect.
Only thing I’d suggest to improve it would be to consider including a few stations where you have the option to stand, either throughout or as and when you need to. Some people (myself included!) rly struggle to sit through for 2 hours without being in agony and ceasing up (and I’m not even old)
Also a good idea in general given it’s quite high up on wellness wish list these days
Otherwise absolutely great thank you

Emma Mottram Feb 2024


It was our first time attending a paint n sip event and we all throughly enjoyed the evening! Becky and Alan were very patient and helpful to everyone and we all turned out fantastic pieces. Thank you for a fab experience!

Enjoyed it - my first time, good materials but instruction much too fast and although some of us were there early food didn’t arrive until just before party started (and trying to follow instructor) and no room for anything other than tapas on the very small tables. Might do the Cherry Blossom one in March.

Karen Simpkins Feb 2024


Well organised and great fun. It was a relaxed atmosphere throughout the evening. We received a wonderful welcome and great instructions throughout the paintings.

Lyndsey Watson Jan 2024


It was my first time to a brush party so wasn't sure what to expect.

It was laid back painting which was great for a first timer.

The event was well run and the teacher was lovely. No pressure at all. I will be retuning.

You don't need to take anything apart from yourself, and the venue was great. Good food and drink available to purchase as well

Great experience as always. On arrival you recieve a lovely warm welcome from Allen. All materials are set out ready and seating organised so you are sitting with your party. Fun and chilled atmosphere with music playing in the background. The artist talks through each step and on hand if you need help. Always great fun and amazed at how good our paintings turn out! Would recommend to anyone who hasn't been to give it a go

I thoroughly enjoyed the event my husband brought as a Christmas present for me to experience with our two daughters. The combination of the wine, painting and sharing the experience with my daughters together with the patience and expertise from the tutors made for a perfect enjoyable evening.

Jenny Thomas Jan 2024


The teacher demonstrated really well and also worked the room; her individual encouragement was great. The co-host was also completely on it so no one was held up waiting for paint etc.

It was a fun evening with a great end product (my family were impressed!).

The value for money is great, canvas, paints, all other materials provided.
Venues have been spot on every time.

What was the teacher like? friendly, knowledgeable, helpful
How was the venue (if applicable)? cosy, warm, good layout
If materials were provided, did you like them? yes I did and plenty of paint
Was the experience good value for money? yes it was - really enjoyed
What did you do / learn? to trust the teacher as everything came together
What did you like most? I created a lovely painting!

Shar Ridler Dec 2023


Our teacher laura was amazing, very talented and helpful
She took her time to explain and help where needed.
Allen and Laura made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were enjoying our evening.
The venue was lovely. We were in a seperate function room area with easy access to the bar and toilets .me and my daughter took part and she loved the whole experience and asked if this is something that we can do for birthday gifts for eachother.

Maria Dec 2023


Venue is adequate but seems less friendly than it was, with the warning about not getting paint in the bathroom sink, the poorly managed bar queue and of course the wobbly seats. Doesn’t distract from the session itself though.
Tuition great and an understanding of how the painter will be interpreting their painting and giving brilliant reassurance to trust the process.
Painting equipment fabulous. Alan fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyable evening

Helen Warburton Dec 2023

Good fun evening. Staff were lovely, the venue was good too. However, the evening was rushed from start to finish and then felt as we were being evicted as everyone was encouraged to leave quickly. An extra half hour at the end to finish, would have been much better or maybe starting 30 minutes earlier but definitely extra time was required.

This class certainly took me to my happy place I haven’t painted since school days nearly 40 years ago but the teacher made it so easy breaking the painting into sections and helping everyone who needed it with encouragement and kindness. It’s art therapy with gin! Loved it and will be doing it again soon.

Clare Boyle Oct 2023


This was such a fun night with very skilled teachers. Both were so lovely and good fun. Thank you

Patricia Gilbert Oct 2023


First Brush Party. Advice & admin all good. Enjoyable overall & a good welcoming atmosphere. Competent teaching & support. Materials supplied were fine. Only a couple of suggestions:
-Disn't see Brush Party signage or welcome sign at venue to show way in. Would help esp on dark evenings.
- Car park lighting at Puxton Park is poor at night. Could be an issue on dark evenings.
- Would prefer no background music. Distracts from teaching & unnecessary
- Would appreciste one free hot drink for the fee

Julie Thompson Oct 2023


Great atmosphere. Clear teaching skills. Even as a single plenty of opportunities into interact with others. Wonder go again.

Jayne Webb Oct 2023


I loved it so a good stress relief from work. I was fun andy and the teacher were great. We even had someone dress up as a French artist.

The painting was great as usual, the venue and the host - well that is a different matter.
The venue was poor for parking especially for disabled customers, the cooking of greasy food in the bar area and general cleanliness was poor.

The host, she was not as helpful as others we have experienced, we have been to a few classes & the constant use of unhelpful words: toilet brush size or shape, mummy brush, daddy brush, baby brush was not helpful, considerate or inclusive of the clients. She was rushed & it was to see that she focused her time to people she knew & was used to.
This host is not a suitable for customers who have little or no experience, when asked for help her responses were: I'm not sure, don't worry leave it & you can catch up later - there wasn't time for later & this left some in our party dismayed as they left with unfinished paintings to complete at home with no support or help and with 5 minutes of time this could have been avoided.

Alan as usual was a pleasure, great help and support to the group, he should be a host as he is a great ambassador for your brand and provided so much more than your host.

Absolutely loved it although I did think it was very rushed at the end, it was supposed to finish at 9.30pm but everything was done and dusted by 9.15, lights out the lot. I would have liked to have had the whole 2.5 hours and not felt rushed.

However this is my 3rd time and there will be many more times I attend as I absolutely love it

Unfortunately I felt that the class was really rushed towards the end and I didn't enjoy the experience as much as previously. The instructions were given too quickly to be followed with the ease of the early part of the class. The final picture wasn't quite what was expected

I really enjoyed the class and would definitely attend another one. Teacher was great and there was an ongoing supply of paint if needed. A couple of negative things. I felt it was a bit rushed towards the end and the hedgehog I would have preferred to have been shoen how to paint it, like the online video, rather than a template. Overall I had a great time.

It was very good but we ran out of time to really finish. I would of liked to have had time to go on with painting by myself. So, maybe the teacher say if you feel confident to go on yourself feel free. X

Victoria Budd Sep 2023

We had so much fun and will happily return to try another class.
Suggestion for improvement would be having 2 paintings up one at each side of the room as we did struggle to see or to have a projector so it was larger as it is all about the painting.
Our only criticism the lady was very helpful when needed but 20mins at the start of the class to explain 3paint brushes was honestly A bit patronising, my group and the groups around us all just wanted to get started it was just to long.
We did good hare day at the ring o bells nailsea.

Very happy with end results

It was a great evening but we were quite some distance away from the teacher and found it difficult to see the finer points. It would have been good to have a picture closer or projected around the room.
I enjoyed the evening very much

To rushed, with to many people for one tutor to support properly. Not enough templates for every participant to use. Definitely not the same standard of my previous 2 classes.

Once again it was a terrific night with lots of laughter. The instructor is friendly and always on hand to help. The venue is ideal, plenty of accessible parking, quick and friendly service. It still amazes me that I come home with something that actually resembles the initial painting. You really don’t need any expertise as you are guided through each step so well. It’s great value for money with all the equipment you need provided and you take home your masterpiece at the end. The only problem you’ll have is having enough wall space to hang all these beautiful paintings because once you’ve been to one class you’ll be hooked.

Barn Owl is a lovely location one of our favourites.
Great resources and loads of paint!
Thanks Alan for another great evening. I’m pretty happy with my hedgehog painting.

Helpful staff and clear instructions.

Egle Zilinskiene Sep 2023


It was lovely event and I enjoyed it as I love art and drawing and was good experience to remember and practice. Me and my partner went first time to such event . If someone wants to learn how to draw that perhaps would be quit difficult because of amount of attenders and time shortage. But as one of experience it was lovely.

Our teachers were fantastic and explained everything clearly whilst also making it a fun and enjoyable evening. Love how we’re all painting the same picture but they all look so unique and individual! I would definitely recommend and have already booked the next one

Joanne Newson Sep 2023


1st time Paint and Sip(per) here and I absolutely loved the experience. Really got lost in creating art

The teacher and assistant were friendly, approachable and patient.

The cost of the class is very reasonable given that everything is provided for you, all you have to do is turn up!

The class is approximately 2.5 hours long and the time flies! Personally I got lost in the detail and may have found a slower pace a little easier to follow but that's possibly a newbie issue and realistically it wouldn't be viable to make the class any longer.

The venue fit was for purpose although I did feel a little crammed in, this may have been emphasised by the very hot weather and the anticipation of not knowing what to expect. Once you're in your flow you didn't notice how cosy it was.

I'd definitely be up for attending more classes in the future.

This is my third time at a Class Bento brush party and it was another fantastic evening. I took my family of grown up children and my brother, all of whom said they were rubbish at painting and wouldn’t be any good. Everyone came home with a lovely picture, having had a really good night and realised that with good tuition you actually can achieve a great result!
It is just such an easy, hassle free experience and a brilliant thing to do, even if you think you can’t paint, you absolutely can here! Would recommend for a family, it’s a lovely thing to do together.

I wasn't as happy with my picture as I thought I would be - I think I misunderstood some of the instructions as I was near the back and couldn't always hear very well - it could have been useful to have an example of the suggested final picture available on each table.

It was our first Paint and Sip class last night and we had a great experience. The teacher and the organisers were fabulous, very welcoming and were guiding us step by step through the painting process. I have never painted on canvas and it was so satisfying to complete my first ever painting. I like the fact that all the materials were provided and that I got to keep my creation. The experience helped me accept the fact that things don’t need to be perfect in order to look good. I’m definitely coming back for more.
The venue itself was really nice and they had an offer on their cask ales, which was a bonus.

As always Allen was lovely
Not sure on the new artist taking the class. Too long explaining at the beginning, Focused too much on minor details and not on bigger picture. Delayed in some instructions so application of paint incorrect and not nessiarily in the correct order. Very focused on the colours used. (Ensuring correct colours being used) I was happy with my end result but needs to be a bit more relaxed. Felt like I was at school.

My 6th Brush Party was just as good as every one before it! This time I painted the Woodland Oasis which I picked because I love wild swimming and being near water! I’m really happy with how it turned out. The teacher was amazing and once again Alan was so funny and lovely! Highly recommend!

Our teacher was lovely very helpful and understanding. The venue was good, next time might need more room for food and drinks.
I painted the funky cow, and even though I'm not a painter it definitely turned out better than expected.
The quality of the paints, brushes and canvas was good.
Will happily book again.

This was my 4th Brush Party and it was very enjoyable. The cow was harder to do than the others pics, but the teacher helped me and in the end I was happy with it.
The venue is good although parking is expensive. I found sitting on the higher chairs was a bit awkward as I'm short.

Went as a party of 3. It was a fun evening, our teachers put us at ease as beginners and talked us through a step by step process. They were encouraging and helpful, you need to keep pace throughout the class but there is time at the end to finish or add bits. A nice alternative way to spend an evening with friends.
Drinks and food are available to bring to the table Short break half way through. Yes, I would go again!

Just got home from a brilliant eve, learning to paint a highland cow. We arrived at the venue & were shown to our seats by a very friendly man called Alan, which was all set up & ready with canvas, apron & brushes. Instruction was step by step & easy to understand. We could ask questions if needed, more paint was readily available & the people running the event were lovely. Definitely something we would do again!

Another brilliant painting session with Allen and his art expert. Really sorry I'm rubbish with names. She made it a real fun session, giving good tips and encouraging us to go rogue if we wanted to.
I highly recommend these sessions, I've done quite a few now and have gone from terrified to way more relaxed.
The venue was great, I was worried with the weather being so hot but they opened it all up making it really comfortable.

Susan Conway May 2023


Loved the image, that’s why this class was picked, instructor was informative and clear all the way through.

The only concern was that it all felt a little rushed towards the end rather than evenly spread out throughout the class when doing each element of the picture.

Not everyone is an artist and paint at the same speed - this needs to be remembered!

Alan was brilliant keeping us all motivated and topped up with paint whilst Sue was teaching us the next part.

Charlotte was a great teacher - gave clear instructions, in a friendly, light hearted manner. The only downside was that I was seated right at the front behind her when she was painting, so unfortunately I could not actually see her when she was painting which I felt was more helpful when I did the class previously.
However, I’ll definitely do another session as it’s a really enjoyable evening. Thank you.

I've been to 2 sessions with Gabriela and she is a great teacher. Clear instructions, repeated several times in case you were too busy enjoying yourself and missed them. Able to give advise for those choosing to make their painting a but more individual with different colour options. I really enjoy these sessions. Even if you like the idea of being arty but really aren't, you still come out with a great painting. Get some friends together and book up!

Including lots of positive support! The venue was nice and cosy with friendly hosts, and great desserts included a yummy sherry trifle cheesecake.
We had a great night and painted a picture we never thought we could have. We are already looking to book another painting event.

Becky and Alan were an absolute dream! Very supportive, thorough and funny to boot! They even bought their own music along so singing along to the tunes was an added bonus!
The venue was easy to get to with a large car park, staff were very friendly there also !

I had a wonderful time at Puxton Park. I thought I would give this a go as it looked like fun. The staff were extremely supportive and the painting was done step by step. Everyone produced an amazing painting which were all individual and unique. Food was very nice and a good choice. I will definitely be going again.

Sarah Sheppard Apr 2023


It was Laura’s first teaching session and although she told us this you wouldn’t have known other wise, she was an amazing teacher, gave clear instructions and support and was very personable. Charlie and Alan were supporting running the class and were also incredible, nothing was too much trouble and they worked like little pixies and came round topping up your paint and tissues and pallets. So we’ll run and had such a great time. Will definitely be back for another paint!

Stephen Power Apr 2023


What a great night. Never painted before and the class was so relaxed. Learned a lot. Venue was great and felt like it was more one to one than one to many. Teacher encouraged group participation and happy to support, help and answer questions. Didn’t think initially it would be my cup of tea but thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely do again.

Had a fantastic evening. Lovely teachers and great tuition to provide a pleasing result.
Only criticism would be that we were seated at the furthest away point and so not easy to see the detail of the painting

Lisa Williams Apr 2023


The venue was really nice, the instructors were friendly, welcoming and fun and instruction was very clear. We were beginners but came away with paintings that we were surprisingly proud of. Something different to spend an evening doing and really enjoyable. Thank you.

The teacher was really good fun, reassured us and spoke clearly making it easier to understand what we needed to do.
The venue was lovely, bright, clean, welcoming with a good selection of food and drink choices(The locals were friendly too)
It was nice to learn something new and take away a finished piece of artwork
Overall it was an inexpensive fun activity for ALL ages, it was nice to see a few men attending also

Highly reccommend anyone not sure, "Do it!"

I was on my own but felt warmth from the big group on my table

Lots of chatting, laughing, wine and paint in places I never knew existed

Overall it went well, but the tutor did speak ever so quickly and I and the women near me struggled to both hear and then keep up.
Whilst we appreciate the explanation of why it needed to be quick it might have been a good idea to have mixed all the colours up before applying them, we moved onto "Putting Pink here " before we'd even finished mixing the sunburst yellow, it all got a bit confusing. It was also a cause for frustration that the tutor kept referring to The Rabbit when we were supposed to be painting a hare, this was causing us to hiccup in following everything else either side of it.
Equipment was tip top and the paints splendid.
If this had been my friend and I's first class we probably wouldn't have come back, however having had 2 previous very good experiences we are already planning our next.

I had an amazing time at this sip and paint. It's the first time I took one of these classes. Been wanting to attend one for a while and this was a bunny with lots of colors, both my favorite things! All material was provided and decent. Very good tutor as well who came around to help out. Also given the opportunity to talk to other young women just like myself. It was such a relaxing experience. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks so much for organizing this lovely evening!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and how it was taught, we were a bit far from the teacher so trying to see what she had done was difficult but just kept talking pictures.
The picture eventually comes together and it's amazing what you can achieve. I was very proud.
It was a bit crowded and you didn't have much space, I attended with my mum who has restricted shoulder movement and she found keeping her arm up a bit painful and difficult, there was no space to adapt or alter her position. However we know what to ask for next time.
Loved it, booking in for our next event, mums choice!

Both the people running the class were brilliant with good encouragement and providing laughs. Can't wait to do another!

Had a fabulous evening painting a bluebell wood. Although not a class as such we had sufficient guidance. A very relaxed atmosphere. The teacher and assistant were great, the pace was good, materials provided just right. The venue was cozy and we had a nice pub meal beforehand, served by very friendly staff. I am but beginning with watercolours but this was a very apt next step to build my confidence. I lost myself in the painting and as a result walked away super relaxed. Highly recommended experience. Thank you very much!

It was a great evening with work friends to enjoy something most of us don’t normally do.
Being in a pub gave it a great atmosphere and we can have a meal beforehand or buy drinks throughout, excellent idea!
Tutor was excellent with the two BSL interpreters, they worked well together.
All in all, a great idea to have a brush party!

Katerina Taylor Feb 2023

Another brilliant evening with brush party UK.
Allen and Charley did an amazing job of helping me and many others create our own masterpieces tonight at Ye Olde Inn Westerleigh, perfect venue.
All materials are provided along with the step by step tuition.
Great friendly atmosphere as everyone is encouraged to give it a go.

The atmosphere had a party feel and the teacher created a fun filled night with light hearted banter and lots of reassurance that you were doing a great job!

Also very patience, approachable and gave clear step by step instructions with plenty of opportunities to ask for help or give a 2nd opinion on your masterpiece

Plenty of materials provided and a apron for protection (many thanks!)

I think my painting got better with time once you got a feel for it, wine certainly helped haha. Learnt lots about different techniques and strokes of a paint brush.

Rookies are very welcome and I have no doubt you will soon be laughing if not at your picture but at your mates

Thank you for a fun evening!

Really supportive, clear tuition and advice, with useful tips and explanations.
I was a little nervous about tackling this one but I'm happy with what I achieved.
Everything provided, even the Christmas hat.
Venue is welcoming and friendly.
Thoroughly recommend giving it a go.
The brilliant offer in gift vouchers has been extended. I've bought it as a gift to myself, great value.
Thanks again to Allen for organising, pandering to our needs and being super supportive.

Meghan Watson Dec 2022

All around a good time and fun date night!
It's not their fault but there was a match on in the bar, so during the first half it was hard to hear the teacher because of the cheers and yells erupting from the bar area. I would suggest a different location since there wasn't any room elsewhere to be away from the bar area. The second half was by a second teacher, who was a bit easier to hear but it was still tough to see what they were doing due to the room layout (again, not their fault but maybe this place shouldn't be used again).
Lastly, a minor point: the teacher of the first half touched my shoulder and my arm more than once. It might be a generational or cultural thing, and I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it, but I would prefer not being touched by a man I don't know (not to mention there's still variants of COVID going around).

Excellent venue. (This was my 2nd Brush party there.)

However, compared to the 1st party I attended. I found this one very rushed. Very disjointed in parts. Constantly found ourselves behind.

Compared with the most caring and patient teacher at our first Brush party. I felt the teacher last night didn't expell the same qualities. The example picture looked nothing like the picture we had done. The finer detail was missed (scarf and earmuffs) and we ran out of time to finish.

I bought 2 tickets as presents. Chilly Chirpers although very festive, not ideal as a first party.

Overall, a great session, the leader speaks clearly and demonstrates well, if sometimes a little too speedy for some participants. The subject matter was fun and provided a great end result. The "helper" was quick to respond for extra paints, tissues etc. This was our 2nd party, and I've actually signed up to the club.
Let down a little bit by the venue. The menu as advertised wasn't available, and the time it took to order and receive food meant it was a real rush to be ready to paint on time. Plus the lighting isn't terrific, but that is possibly personal choice. Outside lighting for when leaving the building in the dark would also be beneficial!

Rosemary O'Connell Nov 2022


Relaxing and fun evening. Nice to do something a bit different. None of us had painted for years, but we all went home with a fairly decent picture each. Good to go with friends for an evening. Teacher was good and talked us through the stages. Will now try and paint another one. Lovely to see the different ideas other people had too. Would definitely do another one at some stage.

This was a fun and relaxing couple of hours. The event was very well organised and started and finished on time. Everything was laid out ready to go. Communication from the organisers was very good before the event. The instructor was clear and the pace of the evening was good. Materials supplied were more than adequate and topped up as needed by the second member of the team. 1 canvas, three brushes, 4 paint colours, clear instruction and two and a half hours later I had something to be proud of.
The Codrington Arms was a perfect venue with lovely friendly staff and some lovely customers sat by the door praising all the paintings as we left. I will definitely do this again.

I have been wanting to attending one of these events for a while and finally managed to attend this one with two arty friends of mine. the venue was lovely, it was perfectly set up, and i liked that you had a few little breaks to get a refil or just move! i loved the project and the teacher was great! very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic, and Alan was great for keeping us topped up with the paints! i thought it was very well organised and the project was very acheiveable for any one of any art level, it was a really fun evening and my friends and i are looking forward to attending the next one in November!

Great fun - we really enjoyed it and will be doing another one in the future!

Wendy Moreton Oct 2022


Teacher and Alan the Paint were both perfect, just the right amount of one to one attention when needed and clear patient instructions throughout. Venue was lovely, although a bit draughty at times, I'm very stiff next day.
I will be back though.

Lisa Griffiths Oct 2022


The facilitators were great very engaging, helpful, friendly.

The venue was perfect it was in a pub but in a separate outbuilding which was great for a big group like us.

It was a fun, relaxing evening.
All of the equipment you needed was provided and the tutoring was understandable and at a perfect pace.
Would definitely do it again.
Thanks

Absolutely love these events! This was my third Brush Party and I will keep coming back! Alan is great and the instructors are always fab too. It’s easy to follow along, the teachers are encouraging and can’t compliment your canvas enough! Really fun, laid back experience and even when you think yours won’t turn out good, it somehow does!

Beatrix Balog-Baranyi Oct 2022


I liked the event. It was a good fun what I was looking for so long now. Definitely good value for the money. The teacher was patient and lovely, the materials was also perfect for me but I'm a beginner. I like the most the time only for myself, learning to create colours and paint. I will be there on the next time as well!

Really great fun! Alan and Gabriella were both so helpful and friendly. I was a little nervous at the start as I wasn't sure I'd be able to paint the picture very well. But Gabriella talked us through it step by step and I was so proud of what I produced! I would definitely recommend however good or bad you are at painting!
Thank you Brush Party!

Another enjoyable evening with Brush Party. The subject of the painting changed from what was advertised when we booked but we were pre-notified and the replacement was nice. You don't really go to these for the output rather to enjoy the process! The venue at the Royal Oak is lovely, plenty of room, good drunks and snacks and plenty of parking. Alan is a great host and Jane was an enthusiastic artist. It felt a bit rushed at the end and a bit slow to get going but we all finished and had our own masterpieces to take home. Looking forward to next month ready!

I found it harder to here the teacher this time, compared to the previous session and that’s the only reason I’ve marked ‘good’ rather than ‘great’.

Interesting to learn brush strokes and get different brushes to try out.
I also learnt that I paint better when I’ve had a drink - relaxation is key!

Alan was as fabulous as ever and very charming.

I went to this session to overcome my own barriers to painting. I am convinced I can't do it so don't try.
This session was brilliant.
The two people running the session were welcoming and encouraging.
All the materials you need are provided and the time flies by.
I cannot believe what I have produced. It's no masterpiece to those in the know but it's my first step and has inspired me to do more.
Brilliant venue at the Codrington Arms plenty of parking.
Looking forward to going again thank you.

Painting class review by Patricia Collier - Bristol

Helen Stones Aug 2022


We very much enjoyed our painting experience.
Did feel it was a little expensive for what it was and that perhaps a first drink could have been included. Also felt we all sat rather close together.
Regarding the venue it would have been better if you didn’t have to travel two floors down to buy drinks, there was a bar on the same floor but not open unfortunately.

Jill Marriner Aug 2022


2nd time doing this. It's a lot of fun to do with friends, teachers are great. Brilliant atmosphere. See you again soon

Gail Wayman Aug 2022


Great evening creating my ‘Life’s a Beach’ painting. This was my first experience and I will definitely be back for another one! Becky was a great teacher and was on hand to help when we needed it. Allen was also very helpful and made sure our paints were well topped up in between taking lots of photos.
For someone who has no art experience I was very surprised at my finished piece of art work.
There is an artist hiding inside all of us - it just needs to be given the encouragement to show itself and that is what we were given by Becky and Allen. Thank you

The teacher was bubbly and friendly and the class went by so quickly. We're so pleased with our paintings and would definitely go again!

This class was so much fun. The artist and Alan were so friendly and encouraging.
I haven't painted properly in at least 20 years and honestly thought my painting would be terrible but my friend and I came home with beautiful pictures and sore faces from laughing and smiling so much.
Well worth the money, definitely looking forward to booking again.

The instructions however I felt were difficult to follow although this was to be fair only the second class this lady had taken so one could put it down to nerves perhaps. Still had a great evening and would recommend. Especially if you can get a group of you together
It would also have been nice if we had all introduced ourselves to the others on the night to help the chat and banter .

Linda Viner Jul 2022


It was our first Brush Party. My friend and I were really enjoying the evening to start, with having clear instruction we felt our confidence growing. Unfortunately for the last half hour we felt rushed, that’s when the enjoyment stopped. The tutoring position was changed during the evening due to the sun shining in through the glass behind, then from where we sat we couldn’t see the tutor showing instruction clearly. This led to us to falling behind, with not enough time to finish satisfactorily, which was extremely disappointing.

What a brilliant evening! I’m a hopeless artist, and yet I’ve come away from a super fun evening with a painting I’ll be proud to hang on my wall. I took my friend as a surprise, and we both agreed it was great to switch off from modern life for a couple of hours. The instructor and Alan were both great, as were all the others who took part in the evening and created a lovely friendly relaxing atmosphere. It was great to walk around during the breaks and at the end to see everyone’s paintings - they were all so similar and yet so different - each excellent in their own right. Shout out to the ladies in the restaurant. I would 100% recommend this for a great night out.

Georgie Flawn Jul 2022


Really well run, fun creative class. My friend had mentioned it to me as she loved it, i took my daughter for her birthday and her friend, was the perfect gift and something to take home too. I think having this picture of the Elephant near each painter would have been good, you can see more clearly what would have made him more defined and professional looking, but that aside was still a brilliant evening.

Darija Petrovic-Lubanska Jul 2022


Lovely experience! All the materials were prepared and we were guided and encouraged step by step as the class went on.
I will most definitely do it again.

Paul Power Jul 2022


Very enjoyable. Good instruction but sometimes a bit quick and seats were too close together. Would definitely go again though.

Dot Powell Jul 2022


We had a great time, our teacher made it very easy to follow and I can't wait to log onto the Facebook page after work today. We had everything that we needed and the atmosphere was brilliant, relaxed and fun. A big thankyou to you both for making this a great achievement considering none of us had pick up a paint brush for a very very long time.
We will certainly be doing more classes in the future

It was fun but not as much input and help from the artist as usual which made the final painting not so good. I will be back for more though. Food at the venue was very slow to arrive but not Brush Party’s fault

Anna Lawrence Jul 2022


Teacher and Alan the photographer were very friendly, was a fun and well run event and I had a lovely time with my friend. It was over dinner time and there wasn't any where to eat dinner so ended up eating off my lap and painting over the top! Was fine, but i'd say eat before you go. Also i'd say take the painting instructions with a pinch of salt if you have a certain aesthetic in mind. But all in all, a lovely evening!

Booked the class for my mum and her friend. Both thoroughly enjoyed it. Said everyone was really friendly - definitely going to attend again.

Eve Wakely Jul 2022


The Brush Party was amazing! It was our first time going and we didn't know what to expect, but we had a fantastic time!
The class was well paced and easy to follow, but it was also super relaxed and a fun environment! There was no right or wrong way to paint, and they even encouraged us to go a little rogue!
Well definitely be back for another one soon! Thank you!

A good evening although it is evident I can’t paint. Lovely experience time flew. My only criticism is that I was at the back of the room and couldn’t clearly see the example being painted

Thank you both of you, it was a wonderful evening.

Good teacher.
Really rushed the last 45 minutes which was a shame at the end due to time. Spoiled the main focal point of the painting (the hummingbird).
Great atmosphere.

Jessica Gasson Jun 2022


We had a wonderful experience, a really great evening out. The teacher was fun and engaging and created a really relaxed atmosphere. None of us have done anything like this before but the step by step instructions were so manageable and we all created something we are happy with and learnt lots of skills along the way. We will definitely be going back to do it again as it was such a great evenings activity.

Great fun night and actually managed to produce a painting that resembled what it should, despite not having picked up a paint brush in 34years!
Would recommend as something different to do for a night out with friends or even on your own to make new friends.

I attended a brush party that my company organised, a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. So I suggested it to a friend for something different for us to do. We had a fantastic night with Sue and Alan at the Bumble Bee pub! The venue was great; Sue was a brilliant instructor and gave great guidance and advice throughout. Alan was fantastic too & gave us lots of encouragement. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants an alternative evening out, where you can have a laugh, as well as produce something you are proud of!

Eveliina Honkanen Jun 2022


The teachers were great. I really enjoyed mixing the colours and painting.
I liked the central location. The only thing I would improve if possible would be going to the bar, I didn't want to miss anything. it would be great if a bar staff could have come up and taken our drink orders.
But I loved it!
If it was cheaper I would do it again and again!

Joanne Jenkins May 2022


Teacher was great and the atmosphere good too.
The only thing I would say as a more elderly person , was the easel was on a table which was quite high for me - and I find it difficult to stand for long periods of time. Understandable we had to do the painting in quite a short period of time but at times it was difficult to keep up

The teacher was lovely and always willing to come and help, even staying a few minutes longer at the end to help me correct some mistakes I made. The pub was very friendly too. The only less positive was the room was a bit loud with the pub noise, so it might be worth trying to get a quieter room or see if it's possible to close off this room a little more. Overall, it was nonetheless a lovely evening and a very nice experience!

The teacher was good fun and both worked efficiently together. I was able to grow in confidence with my art skills. I’m a complete beginner but it’s the third paint club I’ve been too and I encourage my friends to give it a go
Good value too

The other staff Alan who helper provide paint etc was so encouraging it really helped you see your art in perspective. Any time we weren't sure on our art he would come over and make you love it!

Trish Davies Mar 2022


I enjoyed the Evening but the artist being late to arrive it felt rushed.
To much time spent advertising the business and photos. There was no time in the evening to enjoy your art.

Teacher's response

Hi Trish, We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our paint party. During the evening before the event, we have announced to all the guests and explained that due to unforeseen road closure in the area, the artist had to make a long diversion to get to the venue, hence a delay in starting the event. We are sorry for the inconvenience, I am sure you will understand road closure is outside our control.

I went by myself but was made to feel so welcome by the host that I relaxed immediately and was also able to switch off quickly from my hectic day at work.
I'm looking forward to attending the another class in the near future.

We had a lovely time at the High Orchard painting the street light sonata.
The tutor was very informative but in a very relaxed fun way. We had enough time to implement the suggestions before going into the next stage. The time flew by and everyone landed up having a painting we were proud to take home. I had a very enjoyable evening with all that I needed to do the painting provided. All I needed to do was turn up.

Tracey Harman Mar 2022


This is my second brush party at The Avenue, Gloucester - the teacher was lovely. The space is a bit cramped. I could only chat to my friends either side of me and not the other's down the end but I guess that's because of the layout, it might have been better, as there was 7 of us, to have some sat facing is so we could at least talk over the easels. My moan is really about the venue, it's really really cold and dank, and the staff are always bloody miserable. There's almost an eye roll when we head to the bar. It was like it last time but I assumed it was an off day, but evidently not. If you'd offered this picture (I'm a bit cow obsessed) anywhere else in Gloucester I'd have chosen there instead.

We are planning on a private brush party at my craft studio for my Hen Party.

We all had so much fun and haven’t stopped talking about it yet… in fact we have all just rebooked for another class in May!

The whole evening was so well run, we were all put at ease straight away by the friendly staff. The instructions were simple and clear to follow and there are helpers going around if you need it.

I must admit we were all very dubious we would end up with something resembling the example at the front of the class but much to our surprise we all ended up with a brilliant piece of work. Not one of us was disappointed with what we had created!

Like I said, we’ve already rebooked so that’s testimony in itself!

Thanks guys

We had a good view of the front of the class. Alan was great as always and the picture was a lovely one to paint.

Claire Dunn Jan 2022


Good fun, very engaging teacher
Slightly hard to see sometimes what was happening.
Rather rushed at the end, and we got a bit lost, not enough time to get good coverage on the white of the fox, so trees are showing through
Needed one more brush, as doing the white after orange was impossible to get a good result.
Spare plate for mixing?
Would book again, but not for a while I think.

It was a great evening, Sue and Alan were the perfect hosts, very chatty and helpful. I can't draw/paint but came away with a picture I was quite proud of. There were 7 of us and we all enjoyed the evening. The equipment was good and the canvas was good quality. We would definitely go again, we laughed and painted all evening.

Great night.

My mother and I were bought brush party tickets as a Christmas gift, we had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed our evening! Great atmosphere, lots of laughs, Su was brilliant and went through it all step by step, really pleased with the end result. Would definitely go again!

Having never painted I was very nervous, but it was great fun, the teacher was super, explained everything clearly and was very friendly and jolly; my painting was way better than I thought I could ever do, all in all a super way to spend an evening.

The lady guiding the session is such a good artist who provides all attendees with valuable guidance and feedback. And of course Alan is the life of the party and such an amazing host. I always tell people about how much fun I have at these events. It's our third and we have booked in for the fourth one next month.
