Painting class to create a Christmassy scene with a friendly instructor, with a Paint & Sip menu available at Lydiard Park Hotel.
Lydiard Park Hotel is hosting a Festive Paint & Sip on Wednesday 9 December, a painting class built around a Christmassy scene. The whole evening is led by a friendly instructor who guides the room through simple, step-by-step stages, and the invitation is to hold a drink in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. It's pitched at everyone, from a budding Van Gogh to someone who hasn't picked up a brush in years, so you don't need any experience to get stuck in.
The setting does a fair bit of the heavy lifting here. Lydiard Park Hotel sits within 260 acres of parkland on the edge of Swindon, combining the elegance of Grade I listed Lydiard House with modern accommodation and dedicated wedding spaces. It's a bit of a destination in itself, so it works as a proper night out rather than just a quick class.
Your ticket covers the canvas, expert tuition, and the use of paintbrushes, paints, and aprons, so you don't need to bring your own kit. There's also a Paint & Sip menu of hot food available to order throughout the evening, which is where the 'sip' part of the title comes in.
