Christmas Sip and Paint at Herberts Yard

Herberts Yard is hosting a Christmas Sip and Paint on Thursday 10 December, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. It's a guided session in the heart of Birmingham, and the premise is as straightforward as it sounds: you grab a drink and paint your way to a masterpiece of your own making.

If you've never done a sip and paint, it's a social way to spend an evening without needing any prior experience. The guided side of things means there's a lead to follow, so you're not just staring at a blank canvas wondering where to start. You work at your own pace, drink in hand, and leave with whatever you've put together. It's as much about the chat and the drink as it is about the painting.

This isn't a one-off for the venue, either. Herberts Yard runs these as a recurring format throughout the year, with different themes taking the lead. Previous sessions have included a Halloween-themed night and an autumn session over at Dockworks Waterfront with Solely, so this Christmas one is the latest in a regular series of themed nights. If you've been to one before, you'll know the drill; if not, it's a low-pressure way to get something on a canvas.

It runs from 7:00pm to 9:00pm on Thursday 10 December at Herberts Yard in Birmingham, and tickets are £27.50.
