Based in Risca, and previously hosting events in Rogerstone and Blackwood, you’re sure to have a good time at these themed events.

You get to paint a canvas whilst 'boogying' to your favourite tunes from the mamma mia films. So keep your eye out for the next one!

Or why not swap out the wine for a cup of tea or coffee as they also do events in local coffee shops - the next one coming up shortly.

Paint On Me in Chepstow

And for those who just fancy pottery painting - Paint On Me in Chepstow has you covered for all your creative needs.

So bring some colour into your autumn and get creative, with a paint brush in one hand and a drink in the other.

Go and try one of these events for something slightly different.
