Art and Wine Events UK

If you're someone who loves a good glass of wine and the idea of getting a little messy with some paint (in the best way possible), then you're going to love this. We've rounded up three of the loveliest, most relaxed art and wine experiences happening in the UK right now. Whether you’re looking for a fun date night, a solo creative escape, or a laugh with friends that ends with a canvas to hang up (or laugh about), there’s something here for everyone.

Grab your wine glass (or teacup, no judgement) and let’s dive into three of the most feel-good creative events going.

1. Sip & Paint at Art Play London (Shoreditch + Chelsea) Let’s start with a classic - and honestly, one of our personal faves. Art Play London is like walking into a creative hug. Think fairy lights, cool tunes, good vibes, and plenty of paint. Their Sip & Paint nights run every week, and whether you're a total beginner or low-key a Picasso, you’ll feel totally at home here.

You’ll get all the materials (canvas, brushes, paints, apron - the works), and a friendly artist will guide you through a themed painting, step by step. But don’t worry, it’s super relaxed. You can follow along or totally do your own thing - it’s your canvas, your rules. There’s a bar in the studio too, so you can sip prosecco or a cheeky cocktail while you paint. It’s basically therapy, but with wine and glitter.

Pro tip: Go for the Friday or Saturday night slots if you want a bit of a buzzier vibe (music, people vibing, maybe even a bit of dancing by the end). Midweek sessions are a bit more chilled - perfect if you want something low-key and wholesome.

Oh - and the studio’s dog-friendly. So yes, you might end up painting next to a sausage dog wearing a bandana. You’re welcome.

2. Paintvine: Wine & Paint Nights Across the UKNow if you’re not London-based (or even if you are, but fancy exploring), Paintvine is a fab option. They host wine and painting events all over the UK - from Manchester and Birmingham to Edinburgh and Brighton.

Each event is themed (think starry skies, abstract florals, funky animals), and you’ll be guided by a local artist. It’s no-pressure, loads of fun, and everyone ends up leaving with something colourful to show for it. They also do special events like Paint Your Pet nights (yes, really), and Glow in the Dark paint sessions where everything lights up under UV - think 90s rave meets art school.

The best part? You don’t need to bring anything - they provide all the materials, and most venues have drinks and food on hand. So you can sip a glass of wine, nibble on some chips, and create your masterpiece with zero stress. It’s also a fab option for birthdays, hen dos or just because it’s Tuesday and you fancy doing something a bit different.

3. The Paint Club – East Sussex’s Creative SecretFor those of you lucky enough to live near Lewes, Brighton, or anywhere in East Sussex, The Paint Club is an absolute gem. They run super cosy painting events in local pubs, cafes, and quirky venues. It’s all very down-to-earth - less paint-splattered studio, more cosy pub corner with fairy lights and chatter.

Expect lovely hosts, all the art supplies you need, and a glass of something delicious (wine, cider, soft drinks - whatever makes you feel comfy). Themes range from dreamy seascapes to whimsical animals to iconic landscapes, and everyone leaves with a painting they’re proud of - or at least one that sparks a good story.

What makes The Paint Club really stand out is their community vibe. It feels like catching up with mates while doing something creative. No pressure, no ego, just feel-good painting with a glass in hand. It’s the kind of thing you sign up for once and then immediately book another one.

So whether you’re in the mood to try something new, want to swap the usual night out for something more meaningful, or just need a creative reset with a splash of rosé, these art and wine events are the perfect way to unwind.

Who says you need to be an artist to make something beautiful? All you need is a paintbrush, a glass of something nice, and the courage to have a go.
