Owl Painting Workshop for Kids at Dunkertons Park, Charlton Kings | Workshop | Events

At Dunkertons Park in Charlton Kings, a short walk from Cheltenham, children gather for a lively hour and a half of guided painting where imagination leads the way. The Children's Painting Workshop: Dunkerstons Park invites youngsters aged six and up to a hands-on session focused on an owl motif, mixing outdoor play with structured art instruction. Held at the Dunkertons Taproom, Dunkertond Park, London Rd, Charlton Kings, Cheltenham GL52 6UT, United Kingdomtttt, the class uses the park’s grassy edges and light-filled indoor taproom to make space for paint, aprons, and concentrated creativity. This experience is small-scale and intentionally low-pressure. All painting materials and tools are provided, aprons protect clothing, and an experienced art coach guides step-by-step techniques so even beginners finish proud of their own canvas. Parents or guardians do not need tickets but must remain onsite in the taproom during the workshop, which makes check-in quick and comforting for nervous kids. The format—1.5 hours of focused practice—balances structured instruction with time for individual exploration and a short break for a snack. Key features of the scene include the park lawn and adjacent taproom, child-sized workstations, washable paints, and aprons. Expect an emphasis on observational drawing and simple brushwork as children learn to render an owl’s basic shapes and expressive eyes. The site sits in Charlton Kings, an area with community greens and walking paths that make arrival and pickup easy; Dowdeswell Park is the listed address nearby. You’ll notice local songbirds and the regular presence of squirrels, a quiet backdrop that keeps the atmosphere grounded in place. This workshop stands out because it combines an outdoor local setting with professional instruction tailored exclusively for young artists. It’s ideal for birthday groups, first-time studio experiences, or a creative morning before exploring Cheltenham. Practical touches—arrive ten minutes early, bring a snack and water, wear clothes that can get messy—make the session smooth for parents. Safety and inclusivity are front of mind: the minimum recommended age is six, aprons are provided, and instructors manage materials to limit spills. The park setting invites a brief post-class stroll, and families can linger at the taproom while children dry finished pieces. Whether a first lesson or a repeat, this workshop is a compact, joyful way to introduce kids to making art in an accessible, local setting. Bookers should check in under the lead booker's name and arrive ten minutes before the 10:30am start to allow time for setup; accompanying adults must remain in the taproom but do not need tickets. Materials and aprons are provided so families avoid extra purchases, and the instructor-led format builds confidence while keeping mess manageable and tidy. It’s a short, uplifting step into art for curious young hands and proud work.
