Paint Pot Parties is a creative events company based at The Old Kennels in England. The business runs guided painting workshops, pop-up art nights, family sessions and seasonal specials hosted at restaurants, theatres, studios and outdoor venues across the region. Events include family paint and picnic mornings, Paint & Pudding evenings, Paint & Pizza nights, Paint & Sip workshops, kids’ pumpkin and Halloween sessions, decoupage skull workshops, Barre & Brushstrokes and themed community pop-ups.
Workshops are led by experienced artists and therapeutic art coaches, with several sessions explicitly guided by art coach Brydie. Many events are described as suitable for all skill levels and include clear instruction, stencil or traceable options, and supplied materials where noted. Public pop-ups have taken place at venues such as Cotswold Lounge (Chipping Norton), Gupshill Manor (Tewkesbury), Stroud Brewery, Cattivo (Cirencester), Rose & Crown (Redmarley), The Globe (Stonehouse), Brasserie Blanc (Cheltenham), Dunkertons Park, Swan Theatre (Worcester), Topoly's (Gloucester), The Plough (Prestbury), Norton Grounds and other local establishments named in event listings.
Paint Pot Parties programs combine social dining and painting — for example, workshops paired with pizza, bruschetta, brunch or seasonal puddings — and occasional performance-led evenings like the Drag Arty Party. Tickets are offered per event, often with limited availability, and the company promotes engaging, accessible creative experiences for families, friends and community groups.
Booking information and dates are provided per event, and many nights are hosted in partnership with local restaurants, bars, galleries and community clubs. Attendees can expect social atmospheres, step-by-step instruction, and take-home artworks at the end often.
