Paint, Sip & Graze: Ceramic Heart Workshop at Broadway Wine Co., Leckhampton | Paint and Sip | Workshop

At Broadway Wine Co.'s warehouse in Leckhampton, just outside Cheltenham, Create, Sip & Graze brings ceramics and conviviality to an industrial corner of the Cotswolds. Hosted by Paint Pot Parties and Broadway Wine Co., this two-hour evening session at Unit 1, Churchill Industrial Estate, Leckhampton, GL53 9EG is built around a simple pleasure: painting a heart-shaped ceramic pot while enjoying a glass of wine and a mini charcuterie board. The room fills with laughter, paint-smeared aprons and the close, messy focus of people making something by hand. The key features are immediate and tactile. You’ll work on a vintage-style heart pot—thick white earthenware that takes acrylics and underglaze—using brushes, piped lettering techniques and color palettes supplied on site. Broadway Wine Co. supplies a measured pour of wine or a soft drink so conversation flows without fuss; the mini graze platter highlights local cheeses and cured meats sourced nearby. The space itself is a converted warehouse with high ceilings, long communal tables and racks of bottles that give the evening a casual, cellar-party vibe. Location matters. Leckhampton sits on the Cotswold scarp and the area’s soft limestone and nearby Leckhampton Hill give the evening a strong sense of place: after your session, a short drive or walk leads to open views, limestone outcrops and quiet country lanes. That nearby landscape—and Cheltenham’s Regency architecture a few miles away—frames this urban-meets-rural creative night and makes it an attractive stop for visitors staying in Cheltenham or Tewkesbury. Why book this trip? It’s relaxed, social and accessible: no ceramic experience required, all materials and instruction are provided, and the small-group format turns a craft night into a shared memory. For local makers and visiting couples, it’s an easy way to learn decorative techniques, test color combinations and leave with a personal object you helped complete. Practical notes: sessions run about two hours; tickets include the ceramic heart, paints, a drink and the mini graze. Arrive ready to get a little paint on your sleeves, and check with hosts about glazing or firing times if you want a fully finished, durable piece. Whether you come solo or as part of a small group, Create, Sip & Graze pairs creative focus with convivial hospitality, rooted in a Cheltenham-edge location that invites both city comfort and nearby Cotswold air. Bookings move quickly for Friday and Saturday nights, so reserve early via Broadway Wine Co. booking link. Sessions are ideal for date nights, celebrations or as a team outing; if you have mobility concerns or dietary restrictions for the graze, contact the hosts. The finished pot makes a tactile souvenir or gift, and the combination of hands-on craft with local wine makes the evening distinctly local and unexpectedly memorable.
