Fiona Lurkins • Attended Aug 2026

This was our first time attending one of these and we loved it. It was such a fun night and as people who have never painted before our paintings turned out fantastic. We can't wait to do another one.

Lisa Davies • Attended Aug 2026

Fabulous, such a fun and engaging experience. I wasn’t convinced I could do it but came home with a painting that is now on my wall. I can’t recommend this enough it’s so much fun, we loved every minute

Bronwen Wilcox • Attended Aug 2026

Matt is so lovely and calm. He is very methodical and lets you take your time to follow his instructions. Matt is always happy to help when you get stuck. I love his play list and the happy chilled out vibe he creates in his painting classes. Looking forward to joining more of his classes.

Paint and Sip Class - Bath

Came to this as always wanted to do one.

Brought my mother in law.

Unsure of how it was going to go as both of us aren’t painters.

Mat our host was brilliant and took his time showing us how to produce the our own version of the painting.

Time absolutely flew by and had so much fun. Would definitely come again myself and recommended to other people.

Julie • Attended Jul 2026

Thoroughly enjoyed the brush party. I’m not in the least bit artistic but with step by step guidance my picture turned out great!!

Mat was really helpful and patient taking time to check we were on track and happy with what we were doing, while encouraging us to get creative and go with the flow!! Really relaxed and plenty of time to enjoy the experience. Would definitely recommend and do again.

Rosemarie Isaac • Attended Jul 2026

Teresa Pinnell • Attended Jul 2026

Matt was excellent at helping us create our works of art. A fun evening had by all

Anita Barrett • Attended Jul 2026

Had a great evening painting Colourful Moo at Matt’s Brush Party. I went with 2 friends and despite all of our paintings coming out different they were all a respectable interpretation of the original! Matt explained it all slowly and clearly and was on hand to offer advice and’fix’ any issues. With great tunes playing in the background it was a fun evening - I would recommend this.

Vikki Reeves • Attended Jul 2026

Class was excellent great fun and amazing teacher

Lorna Lambert • Attended Jul 2026

We all really enjoyed this painting. We had lots of fun, lots of laughs, and we were all really happy with our paintings at the end. We can see the improvements we’ve been making over the past few months

Sue Kear • Attended Jul 2026

This was Sue's second time doing this class

Relaxed and friendly environment.

Mat was very helpful and went at the pace to cater for Everyone.

Emma Aldom • Attended Jul 2026

I haven’t painted anything for 15+ years, and the chance to paint a highland cow definitely caught the attention of my artistic side.

The class started slightly later than scheduled, but that was because of some late comers after the football.

Step by step in person instructions that were easy to follow - really wish I had taken more photos at each step! It was a relaxing session and Mat was always at the ready with more paint for everyone!

It was a lot of fun and I will be definitely attending more sessions.

Jacqueline Bolden • Attended Jun 2026

Great session, just the right pace and advice.

Really good set up so all could see the example as he went. Great venue. Will book again

Louise Baker • Attended Jun 2026

The venue was perfect, very welcoming and Matt made us feel so relaxed and explained each step to help us get to our finished masterpieces It was my first time at one of these events (which I went to with my mother in law for her birthday) but it won't be my last!! Such a lovely way to spend an evening, thanks again Matt it was great.

Tina Owen • Attended Jun 2026

Mat is a very patient informative teacher, he breaks down the painting step by step ensuring everyone is happy before moving on. The location was lovely, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be booking up again.

Sue Woolcock • Attended Jun 2026

We had a lovely evening painting. Matt was very helpful and prepared to get us out of any difficulties with our paintings.

Laura McKay • Attended Jun 2026

Paint and Sip Class - Bath

Chosen for a friend's birthday treat. Atmosphere was really good, with great music! A bit cramped in terms of space but not to the point where we were getting in each other's way. Pleasant, convenient venue and friendly staff.

Mat was really good at explaining and demonstrating what to do, and how to do it. He timed the session very well and we were all finished in good time before the end of the session.

Cleeve Taylor • Attended Jun 2026

This was Cleeve's third time doing this class

Another great night out learning to paint “Splish Splash” with Mat. As always great instruction & a relaxed fun environment. Looking forward to my next painting session. 10/10

Natalie Hardwell • Attended Jun 2026

Me and my daughter attended the nightwatch session with Mat. Mat explained every step perfectly, from the amount of each colour to use when mixing paints, to which angel to hold the brush to get the desired effect. We will definitely book another in the future

Sharon Bergin-Carter • Attended Jun 2026

I really enjoy the paint sessions with Matt, he makes it easy to follow along whilst giving guidance. Weather you are artistic or not this is a fun evening out with friends and you have your very own artwork to take home and hang on the wall or to gift someone.

Sarah Pugh • Attended Jun 2026

Fantastic evening. Matt was brilliant, talked us all through “trusting the process “ with lots of encouragement and support if needed. A lovely time had by all - Highly recommend

Anonymised ClassBento customer • Attended May 2026

A great evening, small class, everyone got on really well, instructor took his time and helped anyone who needed it while encouraging the painting efforts taking place. Will be back.

Laura Crowle • Attended May 2026

Dawn Kinghorn • Attended May 2026

I haven't laughed so much in ages. It's a great night out. But you have to concentrate. Beaks are hard!

Great friendly atmosphere.

Look forward to the next one.

Hollie • Attended May 2026

What a brilliant evening! So much fun to sit back relax with my friend whilst learning how to paint the beautiful painting! Would defo recommend - the perfect venue at H&W too!

Joyce Leighton • Attended May 2026

Fantastic evening with group of friends. I amazed myself!!! Never thought would be able to create anything like I did, but thanks to Mat, our talented teacher, I have something I am proud of and can’t wait to book another event

Hannah • Attended May 2026

Great fun with friends! Don't worry if you can't paint, your teacher guides you through the whole thing. Give it a go!

Beth Joseph • Attended Jul 2025

Painting class

Second time doing this, and I really liked how the painting was broken down. Your start off with a base then build it up to a really good finished picture.

Sue Blake • Attended Apr 2026

Thoroughly enjoyed painting Sunset Pines with Mat. The evening was great fun and for someone who doesn’t think of themselves as artistic, I am always amazed at the results. My painting has already been admired by several family members!

Beverley A Haward • Attended Apr 2026

Absolutely fabulous evening spent with my daughter who brought me this as my mother's day present.

This was our 5th time, and 1st time with Matt, he was very knowledgeable and helpful though out the evening,

It was a nice small and friendly mixed group, it was nice to paint something different from animals as we painted sunset pines. Highly recommend, no experience needed.

Wendy Pownall • Attended Apr 2026

Had a great works night out

Surprised at how they all turned out and Matt gave great step by step instructions

Made a nice change from just food and drink

Booked for myself and my partner (Bday Celeb).. as an absolute non creative I was initially hesitant but Matt really made it a great class.. absolutely engrossed for the entire class and came away having really enjoyed.

Alanya O'Loughlin • Attended Apr 2026

A fun evening. We really enjoyed the painting. Good set up and good location. Thank you

Helen Hodges • Attended Apr 2026

Had so much fun and never thought for one minute that my painting would end up being so good. Definitely booking another soon. Thanks Matt

Cleeve Taylor • Attended Apr 2026

This was Cleeve's second time doing this class

This is my 10th brush party & they just keep getting better. Last night we painted “El Gallo”, a fab painting, I really enjoyed painting this one. Mat is a brilliant teacher, very patient & always quick to help anyone who needs extra support. It’s a lovely opportunity to do something different with a great group of likeminded people.

Annis Clarke • Attended Apr 2026

Great atmosphere at the Brush party last night. We painted a beautiful cockerel - love the colours that were used. Clear instruction/ step by step and help available if you needed it. Very enjoyable

Sam Brown • Attended Apr 2026

Great evening, Matt was fantastic and my picture didn’t turn out half bad. Would definitely recommend

Rachel • Attended Apr 2026

Lovely pub, with lots of natural light and 2 for 1 pizza. Mat was great and paced the speed of the painting to suit the audience. Relaxed atmosphere and great fun!
