Recent reviews of Sip and Paint Workshop

  • 5/5 from Nicola Moore, attended Oct 2025: Fabulous! Had a wonderful time. No matter how much experience you have (non required) it will be fun x
  • 5/5 from Siew-Veena Sahi, attended Sep 2025: Absolutely amazing experience! The room was so beautifully set up and made it even more special. We had a great teacher and would happily recommend this again!
  • 5/5 from Nathan Murray, attended Sep 2025: Teacher was absolutely brilliant, made the whole experience so much fun!
  • 4/5 from Janet Belk, attended Apr 2025: The class itself was fab and we really enjoyed the painting, with really helpful instruction from Maggie and Leila. The venue wasn’t ideal and we had to squeeze in a bit. The name of the event implies that a drink might be included but it wasn’t and the choice at the bar was pretty rubbish. When we arrived, we were told that we had chosen which Frida we wanted to paint but, having booked through ClassBento, this hadn’t been an option so caused some confusion and frustration that not everyone could paint the one they wanted. This needs to be factored in to the booking process on any site where you can book. One of our party was very late (due to trains) but the ladies really helped her to catch up and get something she was happy with, which was lovely. We’d definitely do something like this again but maybe at a different venue.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Holden, attended Mar 2025: Absolutely would recommend this, such fun and you don’t need to be a ‘artist!!!’ The teacher was great, encouraging and helpful. A very positive experience. Will definitely be booking another.
  • 5/5 from Emma Westall, attended Feb 2025: Super good fun
  • 5/5 from Brendan Kuysters, attended Feb 2025: We had a fantastic instructor she made the night an absolute pleasure. I’ve forgotten here name but she deserves all the credit
  • 4/5 from Christopher Bigland, attended Jan 2025: Teacher was fantastic and we really enjoyed the experience. Was a lot of fun. She was really friendly, clear and obviously very talented. The venue was great and we had plenty of room to paint with all the resources required provided. Only criticism was that the teaching assistant spent a large amount of time with one particular group as they had late arrivals and she spent her time 'catching them up'. This meant she didn't circulate much and it increased the pressure on the teacher to top up paints and water rather than focussing on helping people with technique and explanation. Lovely atmosphere overall, would recommend to anyone who fancies trying something new or just likes being creative.
  • 3/5 from Danielle Murphy, attended Jan 2025: The teacher was nice but not much description, she just painter here infront of us with minimal commentary.
  • 5/5 from Michael Robson, attended Dec 2024: Had a great time! The teacher was really helpful and it was well run. Thanks!
  • 4/5 from Dominic Horton, attended Nov 2024: Frida was incredibly friendly and encouraging, made us feel welcome from the second we arrived. Gorgeous venue setup. Very pretty and really added to the atmosphere.
  • 1/5 from Mikele, attended Aug 2024: It was disorganised. The confirmation email did not mention where the class will take place so we had to run around trying to find it. Not one person answered the phone to assist us. The teacher is a lovely and knowledgeable person, but the workshop itself lacked organisation and supplies. The class is called sip and pain, but not even one drink is included in the ticket. We expected a bottle of wine for a table or something comparable; we have been to many events like this and have always enjoyed our time, but this time, we did not. For the price tag it deserves the rating we gave it at this point in time. A lot needs to be improved.
  • 5/5 from Caroline Murathi, attended Nov 2023: It was an amazing experience, with a personalised touch to it. What I didn't like was that the teacher was inaudible most of the time, which then resulted in spending more time having to ask for the assistance teacher to come closer and explain again.
  • 5/5 from Angela Wright, attended Feb 2023: Bought it for a Christmas present for mum we had a fantastic time, really chilled and relaxed, was great fun
  • 5/5 from Sanjeev Mehan, attended Apr 2022: Myself and my family had an amazing time, what a fun event to do and kept all ages entertained. The teacher was fantastic and arrived at the house in good time to set everything up. Would definitely recommend!
