Paint and Pudding Night in Chedworth: Acrylic Workshop with Seasonal Puddings near Cheltenham

Paint and Pudding Night: Chedworth Village Hall delivers an unexpectedly joyful two-and-a-half-hour evening of acrylic painting and proper puddings in the heart of Chedworth, a small village on the Cotswolds fringe near Cheltenham. Meeting starts at The Brown Jug, 242 Bath Rd, Cheltenham GL53 7NB before heading to Fields Rd, Chedworth (Fields Rd, Chedworth, Cheltenham GL54 4NQ), where the village hall becomes a temporary studio. Run by Paint Pot Parties, the workshop is an art-coach led class designed for all abilities. You’ll be guided step-by-step through an acrylic brief titled 'The Greatest Show', with premium materials supplied and room to personalise each piece. The session lasts roughly 2.5 hours, and the atmosphere leans social rather than formal: pairs, solo visitors, and small groups mix paint techniques with conversation under bright studio lights. The food element sets this offering apart. A trio of full-sized seasonal puddings provided by WellFed Kitchen Ltd arrives during the break, turning a creative meet-up into an indulgent local tasting. This pairing—hands-on art plus homemade desserts—feels particularly suited to the Cotswolds, where community gatherings often double as small-scale culinary events. Key features: acrylic painting instruction, all materials included, art-coach guidance, and three seasonal puddings. Practical details: minimum age 12, bring clothes you don’t mind painting on (aprons are not supplied), and arrive 15 minutes early for check-in under the booker’s name. The format works well for visitors staying in Cheltenham who want an evening away from walking trails and pubs but still embedded in local life. Why this is worth booking: it’s a low-pressure creative outlet with a clear pay-off—you leave with a finished canvas and a full stomach. In a region known for limestone villages and Roman-era sites, this kind of community event connects visitors to contemporary village life. The workshop spotlights local suppliers like WellFed Kitchen Ltd and offers a friendly indoor alternative to outdoor recreation during cooler or rainy seasons. For photographers and friends, the evening provides candid moments: mid-process close-ups of paint on brush, the stacked puddings, and the final reveal of work on easels. Whether you’re a newbie keen to try acrylics or a traveller seeking a memorable local evening, Paint and Pudding Night blends practical instruction with tasty rewards in an easy, welcoming package. It also makes a relaxed, weatherproof option for stag/hen groups and birthday gatherings; organizers can often accommodate small parties—check booking notes for group size limits. Because the workshop is indoors and runs in the evening, it’s an excellent choice during the shoulder seasons when Cotswold footpaths are muddy or daylight is short. Transport options are limited—arriving by car or taxi from Cheltenham is simplest—and there’s street parking near Fields Rd and The Brown Jug for quick drop-offs and buses.
