Sip and Paint with Karaoke

Sip and Paint with Karaoke is coming to Grosvenor Casino on Sunday 6 December, running from 7pm to 10pm. It's exactly what the name says: a sip and paint session with karaoke on the side, so you're painting and singing through the evening rather than picking one or the other.

If you've never done a sip and paint before, the basic idea is that you get a canvas and some paint and work your way through a painting while you drink. The karaoke part runs alongside it, so you can belt out a few numbers between brushstrokes. It's a three-hour slot, which gives you plenty of time to get a proper painting finished without having to rush it, and enough room to get a few songs in without feeling like you're neglecting the canvas. You don't need any experience with either painting or singing to join in, so it's as much for people who've never touched a brush as it is for those who usually spend their weekends at a karaoke bar.

It's held at Grosvenor Casino on Rose Kiln Lane, Reading RG2 0SN, which puts it right in the heart of the town. Since it's a Sunday night, it works as a way to wind down the weekend rather than a big Saturday night out. The session runs from 7pm to 10pm, so you're in and out in one evening, with the painting and the singing happening together throughout. If you're thinking of bringing a group, it's the kind of thing that's easier with a few friends than on your own, as you'll have people to cheer you on when you take the mic. Tickets are available through Eventbrite, and the whole thing takes place on Sunday 6 December at Grosvenor Casino, 7pm to 10pm.
