Participants will have the chance to relax, paint and socialise at the event, hosted by The Paint and Sip Party Co.

Starting with a blank canvas, budding artists will be given the choice of up to 20 paintings to use for inspiration.

An expert teacher will be on hand to guide participants step by step, providing one-to-one hints and tips in a fun and casual class that includes music, snacks and drinks.

There will also be an opportunity to hear about other local activities for older people.
