Promising to put the arty in party is Pinot and Picasso in Brighton. Expect a 3-hour painting experience with top-notch music and a well-stocked bar. They offer a huge range of available paintings, including special paint for your partner or pet nights, seasonal events like family-friendly Halloween horrors and festive Christmas sessions.
Each session is normally priced at £39, to includes 3 hours of fun, all the arts materials and guidance you need, and your fabulous painting to take home as a keepsake of your night.
The Venue
Located at 127 Gloucester Road, the brand-new Pinot and Picasso studio in Brighton feels bright and open and is beautifully decorated with art inspiration, quotes and an Instagrammable lounge chair.
The Vibe
One word – amazing! We were looked after by a friendly team, who hyped up our (dubious) paintings and checked in to see if we fancied more drinks (we did). Our host guided us through each step and was always on hand to answer questions, give advice and top up our paint. Quality tune after quality tune was the soundtrack to our night, which we sang along to, drinks in hand while putting the finishing touches to our painting.
The real treat came at neon paint time when the lights went out to reveal a tray of glowing paints for us to add to our painting. The party atmosphere peaked here, with guests decorating themselves in hearts and smiley faces, surrounded by beautifully glowing paintings.
Food and Drink
Pinot and Picasso are a bring-your-own snacks venue, allowing you to choose your ideal nibbles to enjoy while you paint. There is an on-site bar, offering a range of wines, prosecco, and beautifully-made cocktails. I highly recommend the Spicy Margarita!
The Verdict
Pinot and Picasso was a fabulous alternative to the classic night out, and a really enjoyable way to get creative and try your hand at painting in a relaxed, feel-good and party atmosphere.
