The best sip and paint classes in Manchester

Cork & Canvas

Popular paint and sip evenings in Manchester

A leading paint and sip event in Manchester, Cork & Canvas hosts pop-up painting workshops throughout the Greater Manchester area.

Their painting classes, held at different venues throughout Manchester and the wider area, are often themed around specific artists or subjects, like Bob Ross, Frida Kahlo, or floral arrangements.

ClassBento

Sip and paint and do good

There's a wide range of sip and paint classes to choose from at ClassBento – you can do a Banksy, immortalise your partner, or stick with a classic master like Van Gogh. ClassBento covers all of the UK with its assortment of cooking courses and art and crafts workshops, and there's sure to be something for everyone here, regardless of age or skill level. The fun sip and paint events in Manchester take place at different venues around the city. The company also donates a portion of each booking to a mental health charity.

Reserve Wines

Sip 'n' paint in Manchester city centre

Reserve Wines sources fine vintages from all over the world, so you can expect the sip part of your pain and sip workshop to be particularly intriguing. The wine importer hosts regular painting workshops at its outpost in the buzzy Mackie Mayor market, where you can also get some tasty nibbles to go with your evening, courtesy of the various on-site vendors.

PopUp Painting

Paintbrush in one hand and wine in the other

PopUp Painting organises enjoyable sip and paint events throughout the UK, encouraging you to channel your inner artist while enjoying a glass of prosecco. Skilled artists will lead you through the painting process step by step, and in just two hours, you'll have your own masterpiece to take home. PopUp Painting Manchester supplies all the necessary materials, and non-alcoholic beverages are also available if you prefer.

Paintvine

Sculpture and painting classes

Paintvine provides creative sessions where you and your friends or colleagues can relax with a drink and explore your artistic side. Hosting events in major UK cities, including Manchester, Paintvine offers both sip and paint as well as sculpt and sip classes.

Studio Bee

Sip and paint in the dark

Neon Brush hosts regular monthly sip & paint workshop with a twist at Studio Bee. Just like with other paint and sip workshops, you'll paint a masterpiece under the guidance of an experienced artist while sipping on refreshing drinks, but the paints you'll be working with are fluorescent, and the workshop takes place in a retro black-light space, accompanied by music to set the mood.
