Sip & Paint at The Cricketers Worthing

The Paint Club are bringing their Sip and Paint night to The Cricketers on Monday 16 November, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. It's a two-hour session, and the whole thing is free to join, with drinks available to buy separately from the bar.

If you've never picked up a brush, this is exactly where you start. The format is built for people who've never painted before: every month a different painting is chosen, and a professional artist leads the room through it step by step. They hand out everything you need — apron, brushes, paint, and a canvas to take home — so you walk out with a finished piece regardless of where you're starting from. It's a guided process rather than a free-for-all, and it all comes together in about two hours.

There's a bit of history behind it, too. The Paint Club has been running these classes in Brighton since 2017, when Brighton locals Alice and John held their first session at The Railway Inn in Portslade. They've run hundreds of classes across the city since then, including hen parties, and the Worthing sessions also call at The John Selden in town and Longshore in Shoreham-by-Sea. The whole thing is run by people who know the area, and they've spent years refining the format for people who'd usually be too intimidated to try painting.

It's a Monday night, so it's a good way to kick off the week with something creative. The session runs from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at The Cricketers, 66 Broadwater St W, Worthing, BN14 9DE. Entry is free, and you can pick up drinks from the bar throughout the night.
