How much does Sip and Paint cost per person?
If you’ve been searching for a fun, creative night out in London (you know, one that combines painting, socialising and a cheeky drink) you might have stumbled upon Sip & Paint. But before you book, you probably want to know how much it costs per person...
In short, at Art Play, a standard Sip & Paint session costs £38 per person, however this can vary from venue to venue. This price gives you a 2-hour class, all painting materials provided, step-by-step guidance, and a free drink on arrival.
That’s just the baseline ... there are several variations on the Sip & Paint experience, from private sessions to themed nights, which may cost more or less. Below we break down how that £38 compares with other options, both at Art Play and in the broader London “paint & sip” scene.
🔹 Option 1: Standard Public Session at Art Play
in Shoreditch & Chelsea (best value)
Price per person: £38 (public class). This is the typical rate for a standard evening session at Art Play.
What’s included: 2-hour guided painting class, all art supplies (canvas, brushes, paints, aprons), step-by-step instruction even for beginners, and usually a welcome drink on arrival.
Best for: Individuals, couples or small groups looking for a casual creative night out. No planning required, just book and show up.
Why this option works: At £38 pp, Art Play sits comfortably in the typical London sip-and-paint price range, offering good value when you consider materials, guidance, and the social atmosphere.
🔹 Option 2: Standard Public Session at art CLASS London
Price per person: £33 (public class) for Friday evening paint-and-sip sessions.
What’s included: 2-hour class, all painting materials, step-by-step instruction; BYO wine or beverage (glasses/openers provided).
Best for: Individuals, couples or small groups who want to bring their own alcohol.
🔹 Option 3: Standard Public Session at nJoyArt
Price per person: £35 (public class) for Friday evening paint-and-sip sessions.
What’s included: 2-hour class. All equipment and materials provided. Option for private sessions (additional cost per person)
Best for: Individuals, couples or small groups who want to bring their own alcohol.
Why this matters: Compared with these, Art Play’s standard rate is slightly higher (£38 vs £33–£35), but the difference may reflect factors like location, atmosphere, included drink, or advertised extras.
💡 What Drives the Price Differences
Looking across these options, several factors influence how much a Sip & Paint session costs:
Venue and location: Studios in central or trendy areas tend to charge more, compared to smaller studios or venues with BYO drink policy.
What’s included: A class including all materials + an included drink tends to cost more than BYO or bare-bones options.
Type of booking: Private group bookings (especially large groups) may get discounted per-person rates, whereas small private groups or bespoke sessions can cost more.
Length/style of session: Longer sessions, more complex painting styles (e.g. abstract, pour-painting, themed), or added extras (drinks upgrade, party mode) often justify a higher ticket price.
Group size & scheduling: For private events, number of participants (and whether it's a weekend) can affect per-person cost.
Which Option to Choose...
If you’re going solo or with a friend and just want to try something fun, Option 1 (standard public class at Art Play) is probably your best bet. Easy booking, decent price, all-included.
If you’re price-conscious, don’t need the extras, or prefer BYO and a low-key studio, Option 2 who offer similar fun at a slightly lower cost.
