Paint and Sip Night at The Globe, 43 High St, Stonehouse GL10 2NG turns a regular Thursday into an easygoing creative session where locals and visitors swap trail tales for paintbrushes. The event centers on a beginner-friendly project—your own 'Butterfly Bunny'—guided by an experienced, therapeutic art coach who breaks techniques into simple steps while a pub bar fills the room with low light and conversation. Tickets include all materials and a premium setup; drinks are available to buy from the bar.
Stonehouse sits on the edge of the Cotswolds and the Stroud Valleys, so this workshop makes an ideal evening cap after a day on nearby trails like the Stroudwater Canal towpath or short climbs across Cotswold stone outcrops. The Globe’s High Street location creates a lively, local atmosphere: exposed beams, snug tables, and window seats that look out onto the town, where walkers and cyclists often drift in after a day outside. That contrast—fresh air by day, paint and pour by night—makes this offering a standout social stop in the area.
The class design focuses on approachability. You’ll receive a primed canvas, quality paints, brushes, and a supportive demonstration from the coach; no prior art skills are required. The Butterfly Bunny motif blends whimsical linework with layered color blocking, useful for learning brush control, blending, and composition. Participants often leave with both a finished piece and practical tips for future projects.
Practical details: meet at The Globe, 43 High St, Stonehouse GL10 2NG. The session runs two hours, usually in the evening, and is limited in size to keep coaching personal—book early. It’s well suited to couples, small groups, or solo travelers looking for low-key social time. Wear clothes you don’t mind smudging; aprons are not provided.
Beyond paint, this event supports a broader local scene. The Globe functions as an informal community hub that complements outdoor recreation by offering a warm, creative debrief spot. Nearby cafes, public houses, and the towpath mean you can stitch an evening that moves from daylight walking to relaxed indoor craft. Locally, expect to meet a mix of residents and visitors who bring recent route recommendations and lunch spots, making the night as much about local connection as it is about art.
Booking is handled through the event link; advance purchase secures your seat and helps the coach tailor materials to class size. Arrive early to choose a seat near the window or the instructor; this also gives time to order a drink. Groups often exchange local trail tips and dining suggestions afterward.
