Paint and Pudding Night at The Farmers Yard, Arlingham — Guided Winter Painting with Chef Puddings | Paint and Sip | Workshop

Paint and Pudding Night at The Farmers Yard, Arlingham sits on the edge of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. On Friday 30 January 2026 from 7:00 to 9:30pm, Paint Pot Parties leads a guided session to paint “A Winter Escape” while Wellfed Kitchen serves three full-sized puddings at intervals. Priced at £35 per person, the 2.5-hour evening includes step-by-step instruction, all materials, and dessert—an approachable, sociable way to shake off the January blues.

The venue is exactly The Farmers Yard, Arlingham, a converted farm space that keeps visible echoes of its agricultural roots: stone outbuildings, yard flags, and open views out to local meadows and the River Severn. In winter the landscape tightens into low, cold light and frost-lined hedgerows; those seasonal textures often find their way onto canvases during the workshop and make the artwork feel rooted in place. This combination of creative focus and locally sourced food makes the event stand out — it’s not a generic studio night but a place-based evening that connects paint, palate, and local producers.

Paint Pot Parties provides professional guidance suited to beginners and casual painters, breaking the composition into manageable steps so everyone finishes with a full-sized finished piece to take home. All paints, brushes, and surfaces are supplied; puddings from Wellfed Kitchen are included and dietary requests can be accommodated. Aprons are not provided, so bring a sleeve cover if you want to protect your clothing.

Beyond the two-hour workshop, the surrounding hamlet rewards a short post-session stroll: frost-flecked riverbanks, wintering waterfowl, and the compact historic streets of nearby Tewkesbury with its medieval character. The night is family-friendly for ages 12 and up, ideal for solo visitors looking to meet locals, couples after a relaxed date-night, or groups seeking low-key celebration.

Practical notes: book early — spaces are limited — and arrive a few minutes before 7pm to settle in. Expect warm, convivial company, hands-on instruction, and a sweet, chef-made finale that elevates this creative night into something memorable and distinctly Gloucestershire.

During the evening you’ll move from brief color-mixing warm-up into guided layers: blocking in shapes, building midtones, and finishing with textured highlights that echo winter light on fields. Instructors circulate to offer individual pointers, so even first-timers leave with a coherent composition and new brush techniques. The format encourages conversation between courses; puddings arrive between painting stages, which keeps energy up and conversations flowing. Practicalities are simple: The Farmers Yard has nearby parking and a relaxed, accessible ground-floor space, but check with the organiser if mobility needs are a concern. This event also makes a thoughtful present—bring a friend or give a voucher—and supports local makers: the art tuition and the food are both supplied by Gloucestershire-based providers.
