Sip & Bedazzle: Halloween Girls' Night

Offline Era Society are hosting Sip & Bedazzle: Halloween Girls' Night at The Alchemist in Brindleyplace on Friday 30 October. It's a creative night out for women, set up as a glamorous, candlelit Halloween evening where you sip, socialise and bedazzle your own canvas. On arrival, everyone gets a cocktail and shareable appetisers, and then you pick a canvas to decorate: either a pumpkin or a cocktail-heel design. A selection of gems and tools is provided on the table, so you just work your way across the design and leave with something you've made yourself once the glue and gems have set.

There's no artistic experience needed, and the night is pitched as much as a social occasion as a craft one. It's a chance to dress up, meet new people and spend a few hours doing something tactile rather than staring at a screen. The organisers invite you to come solo or with friends, and the evening is strictly for over-18s. If you miss out on this one, they suggest joining the Offline Era Society WhatsApp community for event updates and first access to future nights.

The session runs for two and a half hours, with doors opening at 7:00 PM and the main event starting at 7:30 PM. Tickets are £42 for Early Bird and £48 for General Admission, with only 20 spaces available in total and five of those at the Early Bird rate. It's at The Alchemist, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HL.
