New Year, New Hobby 🎨

January is already in full swing.
The year has found its rhythm, routines are settling in, and those New Year thoughts are still quietly sitting in the background. The ones about trying something new, making time for yourself, and doing more of what actually feels good.
At Paint Away Events, we see it every January.
People arrive after a long day, coats off, drinks poured, a little unsure of what to expect. Some say they are not creative. Some have not painted in years. Some are just there because a friend suggested it.
And then something shifts.
Slowly, without anyone noticing, the room comes alive. Laughter drifts across the tables, music hums in the background, and colours start to spread everywhere except where they were meant to. What began as empty canvases turn into something personal and full of feeling.
There is always a moment when someone stops, tilts their head, and says they cannot believe they made it themselves.
That moment never gets old for us.
A paint night is not really about painting. It is about switching off for a couple of hours. Doing something with your hands. Letting yourself enjoy the process without worrying about getting it right.
You do not need experience. You do not need to be artistic. You just need to turn up. We guide you step by step, but the best parts happen in between the brush strokes. The laughs. The chats. The calm that settles in without you even noticing.
This January, our paint events are filling up fast 🎨
We are already close to full, with only a limited number of spots left across our upcoming January dates. It happens every year. Once people decide this is the year they will finally try something new, the seats go quickly.
If you have been thinking about booking but have not quite done it yet, this is your gentle reminder. January is the perfect time for something easy and enjoyable. No pressure. No long term commitment. Just one evening that feels good.
Whether you come with friends, bring a partner, or arrive on your own, you will feel right at home. Many people do. And many leave already talking about when they will come back.
A new hobby does not have to be complicated. Sometimes it is simply a canvas, a drink, and a very good time ✨
If January is already looking busy, or if you like to plan ahead, our February events are now live ❤️
With Valentine’s around the corner, February paint nights make a lovely alternative to the usual dinner plans. A relaxed date night. A Galentine’s evening. Or just an excuse to spend time together doing something creative and fun.
Those dates tend to fill early too, so it is worth having a look while there is still availability.
The start of the year does not need to feel rushed or serious. It can be colourful. It can be fun. It can be something you genuinely look forward to.
If a paint night sounds like your kind of evening, we would love to have you.
See you at the easel 🎨💛
