  • 5/5 from Parisa Masoumzadeh, attended Apr 2026: I really enjoyed
  • 3/5 from Kate Triggs, attended Jan 2026: It was fun to have a chance to create. Venue was a bit dark for painting. There’s wasn’t much guidance from the teacher, we needed Zoe finer brushes but good to do something different
  • 5/5 from Alix, attended Nov 2025: Very freindly and helpful
  • 5/5 from Michelle Clayton, attended Oct 2025: Lovely relaxed event. Great subject. Lovely coach. Great fun. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Hollie Avent, attended Oct 2025: We had the most wonderful time for our best friends Hen Do. Our Sip and Paint took place at Plonkers wine bar upstairs. Sam was so lovely and took her time to coach us through the painting! We had the best time and will definitely do something again!
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Timmins, attended Oct 2025: Loads of fun. Everyone created great pictures. 10 stars
