Most fun Sip and Paints in London

Let’s be honest: there are only so many traditional pub nights, predictable dinner dates, or awkward corporate mixers one city can handle. If you're looking to swap the usual routine for something a bit more vibrant, a London paint and sip night is the ultimate antidote.

The only problem, where to start? One can't be realistically asked to try out every single sip and paint in the city, there are simply too many. Hopefully this blog helps, outlining exactly which sip and paint experiences you have per London neighborhood, how much they cost, what they offer, and where to book.

So whether you consider yourself the next Rembrandt or haven’t touched a paintbrush since primary school, we will help you find the Sip and Paint just for you.

Our top pick: Rembrandt van Wine (Angel)

• Pricing: £42,- (including all drinks)
• Duration: 2 Hours
• Group size: 15-25
• Art instructor: Yes + a host present
• Private event option: Yes
• Highlight: Glow in the dark painting
• Location: Angel ( maps ) & Finsbury Park ( maps )

No time to read the full blog? Visit Rembrandt Sip and Paint, the ultimate painting event fun for everyone on any kind of occasion. Located just a short walk away from the Angel tube station, it is easy to get to & definitely worth it.

Why? Because not only is it the most affordable option, you can also experience a so-called 'painting in the dark' event. Don’t worry, you will still be able to see what you paint, as there are black lights lighting up the studio that make your neon paints pop off your canvas. And since you also paint with normal acrylic paint, your glowing creation can look equally stunning in the 'normal' light.

During the events, there are both an art instructor and a host present to keep things running smoothly. The instructor will show you the techniques for the painting of the day and offer personal advice as they go around. The host makes sure everyone’s having fun and that your glass is never empty (all drinks are on the house).

It’s just £42.- per person, and that includes everything (yes, even the drinks!). Next to regular events on the weekends, you can also book a private event with Rembrandt van Wine.

Sip and Paint experiences by London neighbourhood

Soho Paint and Sip experiences

1. Brush and Bubbles

• Pricing: £49,00 (including 1 drink)
• Duration: 2 Hours
• Group size: 20-30
• Art instructor: Yes
• Private event option: Yes.
• Location: Covent garden, near Angel ( maps )

Brush and Bubbles is a more traditional sip and paint experience, with all the sessions taking place in a brightly lit art studio. The Brush and Bubbles art studio is located right in the middle of London, in Covent Garden.

They host about 3 to 4 Paint and Sip events per week, with all of them taking about 2 hours. The art studio is coated in a bright pink paint, and you shouldn't be surprised if the art instructor is wearing something in that same colour too. Pink is the main colour at Brush and Bubbles.

The event costs vary around £49 and include 1 glass of bubbles (prosecco) to get rid of the nerves. Most events take place early during the day so 1 glass usually does the trick.

Best Paint and Sip in Finsbury Park

1. Rembrandt van Wine

• Pricing: £42,- (including all drinks)
• Duration: 2 Hours
• Group size: 15-25
• Art instructor: Yes + a host present
• Private event option: Yes
• Highlight: Glow in the dark painting
• Location: Finsbury Park ( maps )

The second location of Rembrandt van Wine in London. And if you haven't seen what we wrote about the Angel location, this is our favourite Sip and Paint in the city.

The so-called 'painting in the dark' events are the ultimate painting event for everyone at any kind of occasion. Using neon paint and blacklights makes the whole experience just super special. Since you also paint with normal acrylic paint, your glowingembrandt van Wine.

1. Finsbury Park Painting Club​

• Pricing: £25-38 (BYOB)
• Duration: 3 Hours
• Group Size: 10-20
• Highlight: Kids allowed
• Location: Finsbury park ( maps )

Finsbury Park Painting Club offers a blend of creativity and relaxation in a vibrant studio setting. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a fun evening with friends.

The staff is super helpful, guiding you on color combinations and techniques, making it easy for everyone to unleash their creativity. One of the best parts? It’s BYOB, so you have to bring your own drinks (not included in the price of the ticket).

Whether you’re with friends or flying solo, this place is a fantastic choice for a creative night out.

Most fun Sip and Paints in Holborn

1. London Art Bar​

• Pricing: £37.99
• Duration: 2.5 Hours
• Group size: 15-40
• Private event option: Yes
• Highlight: Walk-ins possible
• Location: Holborn ( maps )

London Art Bar, the name says it all. While they won’t hand you a welcome drink on arrival (bring your wallet, darling), what they do offer is a well-organized, art-fuelled evening in their own creative art pub.

Sessions typically run from 7:30 to 10 pm, just enough time to turn your blank canvas into something fridge-worthy (or at least Instagram _worthy). With instructors who are energetic and the vibe being quite chill, it’s ideal for last-minute plans, rainy-day dates, or when your group of friends suggests doing " something different for once."

Yes, drinks and snacks can be purchased on-site, and no, not included, but the wine pours are generous, and there’s something oddly satisfying about painting with a glass of wine in one hand and a brush in the other.

Not the best pick for anyone needing a gentle, go-at-your-own-pace lesson (perfectionists, beware: this train moves fast_), but if you’re after a social, splash-happy experience with friendly guidance? You’re in the right place.

1. Party N Paint

• Pricing: Depends
• Duration: 2 Hours
• Group size: 10-50
• Art instructor: Yes
• Private event option: Yes
• Location: All over London ( maps )

It doesn't classify as your typical 'sip and paint' but more as a full-on paint party. Less weekly workshops, more one-night-only spectacles, Party N Paint is where a canvas meets a club night. Expect DJs, cocktails, and a crowd that’s just as much into the beats as the brushstrokes.

This one is not on a regular fixture, so you’ll want to keep your eye on their website or socials for the next public event. You can always request a private event, however!

Our favourite Paint and Sip in Dalston

1. London Paint Party​

• Pricing: £30-50
• Duration: 2-3 Hours
• Group size: 10-50
• Art instructor: Yes
• Private event option: Yes
• Highlight: The music
• Location: Dalston ( Maps )

The London Paint Party offers a truly unique experience. Their workshops are a creative escape in beautifully decorated venues across Dalston and London that set a vibrant mood. The DJ plays nostalgic old school RnB hits, creating an intimate atmosphere that will guarantee that everyone will be singing along.

The highlight of the night is the painting itself, where the art instructor provides tips to help everyone create a masterpiece. The London Paint Party doesn’t host regular events, making each occasion feel special and exclusive, but make sure to check if they have an event planned for your preferred date.

Best Angel Sip and Paint

1. Rembrandt van Wine

• Pricing: £42,- (including all drinks)
• Duration: 2 Hours
• Group size: 15-25
• Art instructor: Yes + a host present
• Private event option: Yes
• Highlight: Glow in the dark painting
• Location: Angel ( maps )

The main location of Rembrandt van Wine in London. And if you haven't seen what we wrote about it at the top of this blog article, this is our favourite Sip and Paint in the city.

Take your night out to the next level with the 'painting in the dark' experience. Combining high-energy neon pigments with UV blacklights, creating a high-vibe, immersive environment perfect for any occasion. And because you mix neon with traditional acrylics, your glowing masterpiece will look equally stunning when you hang it up at home in normal light.

It’s £42.- per person, and that includes everything (yes, even the drinks!). Next to regular events on the weekends, you can also book a private event with Rembrandt van Wine.

2. Paintvine

• Pricing: £34 (no drinks)
• Duration: 2 Hours
• Group size: 15-35
• Art instructor: Yes
• Private event option: Yes
• Highlight: Pick your own venue

Website Paintvine, another traditional paint and experience with a location not just in London but also in several other cities in the United Kingdom. They don't have a permanent art studio like Rembrandt van Wine or Brush and Bubbles but rather pop up in different locations throughout the city.

While it is nice that you can order some food while painting, it does also mean that you do have to pay for each drink you consume during the Paint & Sip. The ticket price is cheaper than any of the other Sip and Paints in London, but doesn't come with a single complimentary drink.

The painting events are professionally led, and the whole group is taken along on the creative journey. The events last for 2 hours and are typically held in the afternoon.

What makes a Paint and Sip fun?

So now that we have had the rankings, you might be curious to hear which important elements we ranked these venues on. What makes for an excellent Paint and Sip event (if you ask us). As the name suggests, there are two key elements: the painting and the wine. A quality session should feature a skilled art instructor who guides the group through the painting process and helps you with some 1:1 advice when you are feeling stuck. Equally important is having a decent selection of wine in generous amounts, few things fuel creativity like a fine glass of white or red.

That said, a Paint and Sip experience involves more than just these basics. We’ve taken a variety of other factors into account when creating this list, including music, affordability, and unique extras.
