Paint and Wine

Add a splash of colour to your plonk as New York’s latest craze, ‘Paint & Wine Party’, hits Birmingham this month.

Park Regis Birmingham, a luxury will be mixing wine with paint at the unique event, where budding artists can get creative in a relaxed and fun environment.

Inspired by the increasingly popular trend in America, guests will follow a step-by-step painting guide provided by the teacher – although freestyling is encouraged – while enjoying wine and a ‘painter’s platter’ of canapés and nibbles at the same time.

Whether it’s your first time painting or an art enthusiast, guests of all abilities are welcome as the teacher talks through each brushstroke, splatter and blend to make sure your masterpiece – which can be taken home at the end – can be hung proudly at home.

Tickets cost £35 and include all art materials, two glasses of wine and a painter’s platter.
