Join us for a night of creativity, colour, and a touch of indulgence! Our Sip & Paint evening is the perfect mix of art and relaxation — no experience needed, just bring your sense of fun (and your favourite drink!).

So pour yourself a glass, pick up a brush, and let’s make something beautiful — one sip at a time!
