Get ready to celebrate as we bring you a self-paced mini paint session, in the lead up to PRIDE!!

We are setting up a safe, joyful, and queer space where you can paint the most whimsical, colourful, and fabulous vulvas your heart desires.  

You'll get all the materials you need to unleash your inner artist for just £5 (seriously, it barely covers the cost of the glitter). Whether you’re a seasoned painter or just here for the camp colour choices, this is your space to play.  

Painting Vulvas—but make them ART. Think abstract, floral, surreal, rainbow-flagged, or maybe even one wearing sunglasses. Get weird with it.  

Just bring the truly fabulous you and we’ll provide the paints, brushes, and mini canvases for you take home on the day.  No pressure, no judgment—just a chance to let loose, get messy, and make some vulva art. 

Book now because art, much like gender, is a spectrum, and we love to keep it fluid. 

**This event is not-for-profit and the aim is to provide a safe queer space in the celebratory lead-up to pride.  

Please note this will be different to our usual sessions as you will be provided with a mini canvases (9x7cm) and step-by-step instructions to complete at your own pace. Each painting can be completed within 15-30min. 

Grab a coffee…..and a paint brush! We invite you to celebrate Pride with us, this June, and experience a drop in day unlike any other!

Paint Your Pet  

Ally McCormick-Farren

Had a really lovely experience, it was 2.5 hours rather than 2 but it was worth the over run. 

Sandra Phillips

Really enjoyed the class - teacher was most helpful.  I have no artistic talent whatsoever but with patient guidance was able to paint a fantastic picture of my beloved dog.  

Danielle Craven

I had such a great time at Paint and Chill! Kirsty was the BEST guide ever and so funny. I need to come back so I can paint my second rat Gertrude! 

Hayley McKeon

Absolutely loved the Pet your own pet. 
Going to book another morning session so my daughter can come and do it with me next time 

Jade McCloud

Great experience painting my dog yesterday. The training was very helpful and the hideaway is a perfect location :) 

Tracy McClure

Great fun for all the family - no prior ability required, as amply demonstrated by our group! Would recommend- also, the Hideaway on Highland Road was a great venue for it. 

Rebekka Cooper-smith

Really lovely experience  & great teacher:)

Charlotte  Wraith 

I loved this experience 😁 I would do it again 

Valentina Lipsham

Great experience for my nieces, they absolutely loved it. would highly recommend !

Abby Fletcher-Phillips

We have previously attended the sunflower painting workshop, where I was surprised that it actually turned out looking like a sunflower. But painting your pet sounded pretty difficult in comparison but we decided to give it a go. The step by step instructions were great, lots of tips and tricks and the end result was a paint, done by me that actually looked like my dog! I couldn’t believe it. I would like to take all the credit but it was really Kirsty with her patience, chilled was of teaching and amazing skills. Thank you!

Christina Farley

Lovely way to spend a few hours. All the things we needed were laid out for us. Step by step instructions,  everyone came away with a painting that resembled their pet. Rhian was a very knowledgeable and amusing instructor.  Can't wait to go again.  

Shirley Rush

I really enjoyed the morning, learning how use paints and what is possible to achieve as an absolute beginner. The time went quickly. I manage (with the children's  paints) to finish my cat  picture at home. I also had a jolly good laugh, at myself.  I would definitely recommend this class. 

Create a beautiful portrait of your furry friend with the guidance of our talented instructor.

Kids Paint - Christmas Reindeer

Emilie Pernel

Emilie - great event, lots of fun, really good! but plan at least an extra hour and a break for the kids to recharge. 

Melissa Mansell

Fab session for the children painting Rudolph , really well organised, great location and so much fun. Thank you

Amber  Gardner 

My daughter absolutely loved taking part in the reindeer painting class. I would love to see more available that she could take part in. 

Oscar  Morales

Really fun! Went with friends, so a real mix of skills and we all came away with a beautiful piece of art work! 

Kids Paint - Summer Events 

Holly Byrne

My 11 year old had an amazing first art session. It was definitely a "trust the process" for him, but his painting was incredible. Mavis was such a great teacher. Will definitely be booking again. 

Clare Smith

This was a fantastic time with paint chill and co. My little girl really enjoyed herself and we can’t wait to book again. 

Dakota  Jordan 

Our daughter had an amazing time, she is autistic and loves art 
The artist was brilliant, she have easy to follow step by step guide 
Her finished art work has found a pride of place spot in our home and she’s already asking when the next one it 

Tanya Tregeagle

Wow, after my great experience at one of the events my daughter was really excited and was nit at all disappointed. Her created masterpiece was lovely and so personal. She had a great time creating at the event and loved telling me how she created the painting. She is very proud and anyone who comes to our home is instantly taken to see the gallery.

Lucy Stapenhill

Having been to a few evenings myself and having a daughter who is a budding artist, I was excited to see that kids sessions were being offered for the summer holidays. Being one of the youngest, I wasn’t sure how my daughter would get on but she had a great morning and is very proud of the painting she has created. The teacher went at a good pace and her instructions and modelling was clear for the children to follow. My only criticism is in relation to the parents who decided to stand on the room and talk loudly as they made it difficult to hear at times but this was obviously no fault of the artist or organisers. I really hope that sessions like these are offered in other school holidays as my daughter would love to go back and do more!

Rosie Hale

I brought my daughter and her friend and both absolutely loved it! They came home proud at their master pieces. Thank you x

Chris  Le Manquais  

Lovely experience ! First time my granddaughter has done one of these experiences and it was part of an early birthday present so was really hoping she enjoyed it and she did ! She loved it and did a very good painting too !!  
Nothing was too rushed , children got advice and help if needed too.  Great morning !! 

Sophie Matkin

My daughter had never had an experience like this before, the set up was very impressive, it was clear that it didn’t matter where anyone was sat, they could all see.
The instruction was extremely good and the instructor was excellent, she made sure to walk around to see how everyone was getting on and if any help was needed.
It was amazing what was achieved in the 90 minute class.
We will be visiting again.

IOLA TINSLEY 

I love this place so much. Its the best place for kids to learn to paint & put pictures on the wall after. The lady is lovely & very kind & helpful. I'm going again for halloween

Great session as always

Cara Jordan

Myself and one of my girls attended the Mother’s Day class and loved it
As always Mavis was patient and took her time to make sure everyone was keeping up

Painting: "Bumble Bee" by Local Artists and Jessa, founder of Paint Chill Co


Paint n Sip Bar Event "Bumble Bee"

Helen Hobman

Great evening, so relaxing, you just forget about everything, and it is like being five years old again, thoroughly recommend, and you leave with something you have actually created which is totally unique - how cool is that!

Hannah Simmons

Teacher was lovely, didn’t rush us and kept our paint and water topped up! Well done and thank you! 

Barry Caplen

Had a great evening painting the bumble bee. Well lead evening and great fun. We’ve booked other evenings now! 

Alison Norum

Great fun evening which was also relaxing.

Jean Higgins

Such a fun evening, can’t wait to do another one!

Fran Jenkins 

Loved it, my third time and it's always such a fun experience alongside my daughter. Being taken through all the steps to build the picture, brandishing Daddy and Baby brushes and allowing more or less anything to happen on the canvas with no-one judging the result - except perhaps myself 😂, - feeds my creativity and relaxation. It's good to be in a group of people just enjoying the experience. Charlotte leads in a friendly, fun but very skilled manner. Thank you so much 

Emily Lambert

Fabulous time, great instruction, look forward to the next one 

Jessica Howard

Really wanted to try something new! What a great night felt at ease from the time you got there! Big thank you to our teacher she was great! Already booked another and can’t wait. 

Jo Lea

What a brilliant experience! I was slightly nervous at the start but it was fantastic. I will definitely go to another class. 

Stephanie Losh

Absolutely brilliant evening. So much fun, relaxed but also got to stretch out my crafty side. Artist was great, very informative and encouraging. Thoroughly recommend.

Sarah Pilbeam

Had a wonderful evening in a great environment, creating a picture of a bumble bee. In my case three Bees! I bought my friend and daughter along with me and we all agreed it was a fabulous experience. The tuition was spot on. Everything you needed was supplied. Canvas, paints  apron and brushes. The painting emerged over two hours with an end result we were all proud of and could hang on a wall. Thank you,  I will certainly be booking again and will be(e) spreading the word about Paint n’ Sip Bar events. Just what’s needed to lift your spirits in a cold dark January! 

Charlotte  Nolan

Attended Paint and Sip session with my mum and sister. We had a lovely evening; really chilled, great instructions and advice and we all came away with a fabulous and unique piece of artwork. I would not consider myself to be arty/creative so was pleasantly surprised with my creation. We will be booking again 

Katie  Johnson 

A really enjoyable class, very easy to follow instructions and our teacher Rhian was great! Already looking at other paint-chill sessions to book on to, thank you 😊

Roisin McGinley

I enjoyed this event from start to finish. The class was very confidently ran throughout.  Rhian was helpful and friendly throughout. I was worried as not known as a painter but I was so proud of the end result. 

Sharon Zahra

A lovely evening, although I did expect a drink to be included in the price, as it is titled Pant n Sip Bar Event.   

Karen Webb

This will of been the 2nd class I have been part of and loved every minute of the evening, relaxing fun and a great class. My painting is up on my hall wall.

Teresa Farmer

Fabulous evening painting a lovely bee. Have taken many of these classes and they are always amazing with great tutors. Highly recommended 

Third class I’ve attended and I love it! Great fun and lovely atmosphere. 

Panero lounge is definitely my favourite location x

Jeanette Cloete

Great atmosphere so much fun would recommend 

Rebecca Gargano

Such a fun evening, amazing leader and we had a great time painting our bees

Susan DaCosta-Greene

Great experience, my Mother and Daughter and myself really enjoyed xx

Rachel Thomas

Amazing evening of painting and sipping.
There wasn't any "paint by numbers", but the step by step guide was fantastic and well delivered 

Maria Martin

Really good evening, learning something new without any pressure, apart form put on myself!

Lucy Jacobs

A fun night with friends trying something different. We all managed to come away with something good enough to display thanks to the instruction from our host. Its easier than you think so give it a try!

Esther  Dazley 

Kaitlyn was fun and supportive. Had a great time

Joanne Hibberd

Fantastic event, would absolutely recommend.

Lesley Jones

Bumblebee was my second paint and chill event with Kirsty.
I brought along my friend and we had a fabulous time. If you ever get a chance to go when Kirsty demos jump at it with both feet, hands and anything else with grip. You won't regret it! 

Louise Otter

This was my second event & attempt at painting. I really enjoyed painting the bumblebee picture. I took my friend with me this time who had never done this before. We were both very happy with the teacher, the process & our finished paintings. I've booked again for next month & my friend & I will book again together. Thank you very much

Louise House

Brilliant evening 😀  thankyou for bringing this as a fantastic way to socialise with friends and family x

Painting: "Sunflower" by Local Artists and Jessa founder of Paint Chill Co  


Paint n Sip Bar Event "Cozy Fox"

Shelly Parsons

An absolutely fun evening! Just as it says paint and chill. Great atmosphere. Kind and patience teacher. This is my third event . Looking forward to doing another one. Thank you for a lovely birthday evening with my friends.

Lynne Thompsell 

Another great night with paint chill, the fox is my favourite painting so far. 

Paint n Sip Bar Event "Sunflower"

Christine  Hilmi

This was my second time at Paintchill. The tutor was great, and I love the way the steps are made easy enough that a non- painter can produce a really good picture at the end of the evening.

Would have been 5 stars but I found the music and general sound level of the room was too high this time which was a bit distracting.

Overall it was a great night and I’m already looking at what I want to paint next!

Sharon Davison

Had an absolutely fabulous evening and even managed something that resembled a Sunflower!  Rhian was a great host and made an artist out of everyone!

Helen Browning

A thoroughly enjoyable evening painting and chilling with my daughter. Relaxed easy to follow guidance for painting a work of art, with a great soundtrack too!

Jess Duffin

Had so much fun such a chilled night and was something different. I made something that resembled a sunflower which I really didn't think I was capable of! Already looking into booking a second one. Thank you x

Ella Jenkins

Kirsty was a brilliant host/teacher. Super encouraging, vibrant and funny. Would 100% recommend and come again. Thanks Kirsty! 

Sophie  Willcox

Kirsty who took the class, was lovely. So welcoming and friendly, instantly explained what we had to do, we were provided some treats and fizz too which was an added bonus. I really enjoyed the class and will definitely be doing another one! Recommend for sure! Thanks again Kirsty :)) x

Debra Purdy

Fabulous evening. Mavis and Ellie were super patient and we all produced a masterpiece of sorts at the end! Thank you, look forward to returning.

Donna Hollands-rawlinson 

We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening, step by step instruction was clear and easy to follow.

I attended the sunflower 🌻 event last night with Mavis & it was another brilliant evening. Mavis remembered me, saved my seat as I attend alone to these events & made me feel so welcome. Thank you Mavis. This was my 5th event & I've already booked my 6th event in November! I am really enjoying my new journey with painting & my skills are getting better through the tuition you receive on these events. I have started painting at home & between my own creations & those made at the events my hallway & stairs are looking amazing! Everyone who sees them smiles & tells me which one is their favourite. I love the buzz that gives me & the fun I feel while I paint! I am hooked! Thank you Ladies! 

Jannine Bartholomew

Fun evening doing something out of our comfort zone. Step by step guidance and managed to achieve a great painting! 
Highly recommend for a different night out 👌

Olivia Bradshaw

We loved it! It was a nice bonding time for myself and my teen daughter.  The session was great, we had every thing we needed and come home with a lovely keepsake. I just need more walls to display more creations x 

Nichola  Linley 

A fantastic night! A night out with a difference! The lady leading the evening was fantastic and we were all really surprised by how unique our paintings turned out to be! It was like our personalities had come right out onto the canvas! Extremely happy with my creation which will go straight up in my lounge! The resources were plentiful and it felt great as a busy mum not to have to tidy up afterwards! The venue was very nice with lovely wine! So much fun and relaxing too! A bargain at only £20! Will definitely be back! 

Kate Thomas 

A really enjoyable way to spend a Saturday evening. Well hosted with clear explanations of what to do, there to offer advice should you need it. It was surprising how quickly the time flew by. 

Sofia Coimbra

It was such a great evening. The teacher was amazing at explaining all the steps. Would recommend and go back.

Paint n Sip Bar Event "Portsmouth Skyline"

Rhian Higgins

Such a fun and ‘chill’ evening. Well organised and after a crappy week, it was perfect to have 2 hours of no other thoughts in my mind. Can’t wait to book in for another 

janette cable

So enjoyable! The relaxed atmosphere brings out the best in everyone. Once again I went home feeling proud of what I’d achieved  and inspired to try some more. The Still&West is, in my opinion, a preferable venue to the Meat & Barrel which is less private and noisier.  

Paul Ritter

Really enjoyed it!  First time I have picked up a paintbrush since doing the skirting boards last Summer!! Loved the evening, thanks, 

Helen Wallen

Loved it! Fun, informative and relaxed x really enjoyed it :)

Louise Bailey 

It was fantastic,  absolutely loved it!! Will definitely come back and tell Mt friends!!

Deborah Harmer

A group of us went to the Portsmouth skyline event at the Panero Lounge on 19th Jan and it was great fun! Suitable for beginners, pleasant location and friendly teacher. Highly recommended!

Lisa Bracher

It was my first time and I absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed the step by step instructions and being given the confidence to just have a go with my own ideas.  I felt totally relaxed and very chilled. Can't wait to come again!

Nishal Patel

A fun night of painting. Brilliant teacher. I'm hooked!

Jayne  Bedford 

Antony Young

A great evening and very enjoyable as always...even managed to come away with a picture resembling the one we worked!!😊

Peter Maisey

Really easy to follow instructions. Everything provided. I did learn a couple of things I didn't know about painting, not least of which is that you don't have to be an expert to join the class.

Love your city? Now you can create your own little memento of it to hang on your wall.
