Paint & Sip Night – Lantern Forest at the Dark Arts Bar, Southampton

Get ready for an evening of creativity, cocktails, and candlelight at the Dark Arts Bar’s very first Paint & Sip Night in Southampton. Hosted by The Paint Club, this special event combines relaxed painting with the magical atmosphere of Hampshire’s most enchanting potion bar.

This month’s theme is Lantern Forest, a dreamy fantasy woodland scene inspired by the mystical world of light and shadow. With guidance from one of The Paint Club’s talented artists, you’ll paint step-by-step from a blank canvas to your very own masterpiece. No experience is needed—just bring your imagination, grab a drink, and let the creativity flow.

The evening is designed to be fun, social, and completely stress-free. Each artist adds their own personal flair, so every finished painting looks a little different—unique to you and your style. It’s the perfect chance to unwind, try something new, and meet like-minded people in a one-of-a-kind setting.

All painting materials, brushes, and canvases are provided as part of your ticket, so you just need to turn up and enjoy. Drinks and snacks will be available to buy from the bar, including themed cocktails, mocktails, and more from the Dark Arts potion menu.

Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended. Whether you come alone, with friends, or as part of a group, you’ll leave with a beautiful piece of art and a magical memory from one of Southampton’s most creative nights out.
