A creative break from exam revision

Create something just for fun.

Take a well‑earned break from revision and join us for a calm, creative evening designed to help you switch off during exam season. Our paint and sip session offers a chance to step away from your notes, slow things down, and enjoy some mindful creativity in a supportive, relaxed space.

Settle in with a paintbrush, enjoy a selection of free non‑alcoholic drinks, and focus on creating something just for fun. There's no pressure, no deadlines, and no experience needed. Whether you paint for the full session or just drop in for a breather, this is your time to recharge before getting back to studying.

Come along with friends or on your own, take a pause from exam stress, and enjoy an evening that’s all about balance, creativity, and looking after yourself during a busy time.

ResLife Ambassadors will meet you in John Wood.

The event will be held in the John Wood Social Space which is on the ground floor of John Wood Building. The room has seating available. There are toilets on the same floor.

Our ResLife Ambassadors will meet you in John Wood.

You’re welcome to arrive at any time during the event. There’s no formal start or end, so feel free to drop in when it suits you and stay for as long (or as little) as you like.

There will be some unstructured time while waiting for people to arrive which gives you the chance to introduce yourself, meet new people if you want to, and settle in. If you need some help with this, for example, if you arrive on your own, our ResLife Ambassadors will happily help introduce you or find a seat on a table.

There is no structured break during this event, but you are welcome to leave and re-join at any point. The session runs for around 2 hours, but you can leave at any point, and you’ll be able to take your creation home with you.

All materials will be provided for you. All you need to bring is yourself. Refreshments such as snacks and cold drinks will be provided. Feel free to bring your own food and drink.
