Join us for a night of creativity, colour, and a touch of indulgence! Our Sip & Paint evening is the perfect mix of art and relaxation — no experience needed, just bring your sense of fun (and your favourite drink!).
You’ll be guided step-by-step by an experienced art teacher who knows how to make painting easy, enjoyable, and full of personality. Together, we’ll turn a blank canvas into your very own creative masterpiece — with plenty of laughs and sips along the way.
All art materials are provided — you just bring the good vibes. Whether you come solo, with friends, or as part of a group (great end of year office party option!)... it’s the perfect way to unwind, connect, and let your imagination flow.
So pour yourself a glass, pick up a brush, and let’s make something beautiful — one sip at a time!

Sessions limited to 20 people.

They waited and eventually bought it, but in very degraded condition. Together they spent over 2 years full-time, recreating it with recycled timber. They also removed some sheds which had been at the back and extended and raised the back half of the house to get a clear and outstanding view of central Hawkes Bay across to the North and the Ruahine Range.

So can't vote National. Can't vote Labour for another their even worse reason because Chris Hopkins said NZ should get used to living in (even more) debt. Unbelievable
