Brew & Brushes: Wooden Duck Painting Night in Cheltenham | Paint and Sip | Workshop

At The Coffee Cauldron, set in the Rotunda on Montpellier in Cheltenham, Brew & Brushes invites anyone to trade screen time for a brush and a hot drink. On Wednesday evenings Paint Pot Parties runs a wooden duck painting workshop that’s straightforward, sociable, and oddly addictive. Over two hours you’ll sketch, layer paint, and finish a one-of-a-kind wooden duck while a barista keeps the coffee coming and a slice of cake lands on your table.

The format is simple: all materials are provided, guidance is friendly, and no prior art experience is required. That makes this ideal for solo visitors, couples, or friends looking for a midweek unwind. Tickets are £28 for the evening—materials, a hot drink, and cake included—and the minimum age is 12, so it’s a great option for teens and adults alike. The setting matters as much as the craft: the Rotunda’s compact cafe environment focuses conversation and creativity, while Montpellier’s Regency streets and nearby green spaces create an easy urban escape before or after the session.

What makes this evening special is the mix of low-pressure instruction and hands-on, tangible output: you don’t leave with a photo of an experience, you leave with an object you made. The wooden duck is a playful medium—large enough to experiment with color and pattern, small enough to finish in a single session. Paint Pot Parties brings a relaxed structure to the class so beginners can try bold ideas without judgment, and repeat attendees can refine technique.

Practicalities matter: the workshop runs 7–9pm and meets at The Coffee Cauldron, Rotunda, Montpellier. Space is limited, so booking ahead is recommended. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on or grab one of the provided aprons. The Coffee Cauldron’s compact footprint and barista service make it easy to linger afterward for another drink and a chat.

For travelers, this workshop is an accessible, low-commitment cultural stop that pairs well with a stroll through Montpellier Gardens or an evening on the Promenade. It’s not a wilderness trip, but it is a local experience that connects makers, visitors, and a small business in Cheltenham’s lively creative scene. In two hours you’ll build a small souvenir, meet locals, and leave with a handmade piece that carries a clearer memory than any postcard.

Accessibility info is limited in the listing, so contact Paint Pot Parties or The Coffee Cauldron ahead if you need step-free access or special seating. The minimum age is 12, so it’s a good option for older kids with adults. Whether you’re visiting Cheltenham for a night out or live nearby, this workshop is a short, low‑logistics creative stop that delivers an instant, handmade keepsake and a bright evening memory indeed.
