Sip and Paint Experience at the Castle

Because it’s way more fun with friends and drinks!



2 hours Location Castle Donington Class size 1 to 20 guests   £30

Join a relaxed painting class at The Castle Inn, where you’ll learn how to create your own beautiful watercolour artwork in a friendly and welcoming setting. No experience is necessary, and the evening is fully guided, so you can enjoy the activity without worrying about getting everything perfect. You’ll create a finished piece of art to take home at the end of the workshop.
The class is designed to help you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. You’ll be gently guided through each stage, with plenty of encouragement and support along the way. Whether you are completely new to watercolour or simply looking for a creative evening out, you’ll learn at your own pace and discover that painting can be both simple and enjoyable.
All materials are included, so there is nothing you need to bring. You’ll work with watercolour paints, brushes and paper as your tutor explains the techniques and demonstrates how to use them. You can:
  • Learn how to work with watercolour paints
  • Follow a fully guided painting activity
  • Enjoy creating art without any previous experience
  • Catch up with friends in a relaxed pub atmosphere
  • Enjoy a drink while you paint
  • Take your finished artwork home with you
The evening is as much about having fun as it is about learning. You can settle in, enjoy a drink, catch up with friends and let yourself become absorbed in the process of creating.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 6 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
