Sip back and get creative

Where the drinks flow and the creativity follows.

Ready to add a splash of colour to your summer? Join us for an unforgettable Paint & Sip night where you can relax, socialise, and unleash your creativity. Whether you love getting creative or just fancy trying something new, this is your chance to unwind, get inspired, and create something uniquely yours.

Set in a relaxed, summery atmosphere, you'll create your own masterpiece while enjoying refreshing drinks, good music, and great company. Expect a vibrant evening filled with laughter, creativity, and that rewarding moment when your canvas comes to life.

Bring your friends or come along solo and meet new people. It’s the perfect way to unwind, get creative, and make the most of those long summer evenings. We look forward to seeing you there.

ResLife Team Member Tabitha will be ready to meet you in the Aquila Court Social Space, through the main entrance and next to the reception.

There is an accessible toilet on the same floor and range of seating available, including both seats and sofas.

ResLife Team Member Tabitha will meet you at the Aquila Court Social Space. Don’t worry if you’re coming on your own, they’ll be there to introduce you to other students and get you set with everything you’ll need to join in.

There’s no official icebreaker; the event is designed to be casual and relaxed. You can chat with other students whilst you paint or just take some time to reflect quietly if that’s more your vibe.

Tabitha will be on hand to help with anything you might need. We’ll provide all the materials you need, including canvases, paints and different tasty drink options for you to enjoy.

The whole event is unstructured and flexible, come and go as needed or stay the whole time. If you need a quieter spot, just ask the team and they can help you find a nearby calm area to take a breather.

Help us make this event a sustainable one by bringing your own cup to enjoy the refreshments.
