Pinot and Picasso Paint & Sip Workshop

If you’re looking for a creative night out in North Laines, you might want to check out Pinot & Picasso Brighton. This studio, located on the Ground Floor at 127 Gloucester Rd, is all about the 'Paint & Sip' concept—they sum it up as 'Get arty while you party.' The best part is that you don't need any prior experience. Local artists guide participants step-by-step through the creation process, turning a blank canvas into a finished piece over sessions that typically last three hours. They provide all the necessary materials, including the canvas, paints, brushes, easels, and even an apron, so you just need to show up ready to paint.

Pinot & Picasso offers a huge variety of sessions, with over 30 unique concepts available. Beyond the standard classes, they run specialized events like NEON NIGHTS (where your art glows under UV lights), 'Paint your Partner,' 'Paint your Pet,' and 'Textured Art,' which combines painting with clay. For example, they recently featured a 'Textured Art: Mamma Mia Nights' session priced at £44.00 per entry. Generally, prices start around £39 per person for adult sessions, dropping to £20 for 'Family Friendly' sessions. If you’re planning a group outing, they offer discounts for parties of eight or more, making it a popular spot for hen dos, corporate events, and birthdays. They welcome a broad audience, including families and the LGBT community, and accept payment via American Express, Maestro, MasterCard, and Visa.

When it comes to logistics, the studio makes it easy. They have an on-site bar licensed to sell alcohol, offering a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus snacks, though you are also welcome to bring your own nibbles. The maximum group capacity is 32 people. Their opening hours vary significantly throughout the week: Monday and Tuesday are by appointment only. They open 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Fridays, and have longer hours on weekends (Saturday 10:00 am - 10:00 pm, Sunday 10:00 am - 9:30 pm). They recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before your session starts. For accessibility, the venue includes a disabled access bathroom and permits guide dogs.
