I honestly wouldn’t waste your money going here. My friends and I booked for one of the girls 30th birthdays, the birthday girl was verbally assaulted by the doorman on the way in. We then waited 40 minutes for one round of 4 drinks (2 cocktails 2 soft drinks) and then the session itself was not instructor led. We were given a canvas and paints and told to take a photo of the end result and get cracking. We could’ve just done that at home, what did we spend £120 for? We’d been to one ran by a different company before which is why we chose to book this one which was very fun and was a proper tutorial. I emailed paint vine for a refund and expressed my concerns, they came back with no apology or any sort of resolution. I appreciate the door man and drinks aren’t a. PV thing, however they are part of the experience that YOU sold us so contribute to our experience with you. Absolutely would not recommend. Stick to Pinot and Picasso and don’t waste your money here!!!!

I booked a Paintvine session in London for 16 November 2025 and they cancelled the event a few days beforehand. They offered to move me to another date, but the date I chose was the only one I could do, which I clearly explained.

I requested a refund of £34 since they cancelled and I can’t attend any other date. I’ve now emailed them multiple times over several days and have had zero response.

So right now they’ve cancelled the event, ignored every email, and are still sitting on my money. Completely unacceptable customer service and very unprofessional. I won’t be booking with them again and I’d strongly suggest others think twice before handing them any money.

We purchased the paintvine event for 22nd Oct at Mash Paddle Brewery. Order #9743.
We got here and the venue was closed. There was no communication, no refund and the company is not responding to our messages and emails.
Either they cancelled and simply forgot to tell us or this is an elaborate scam. Either way we're down £68 and a ruined evening.

Edit 1 - Received an email from them apologizing and mentioning
"We should have made sure you received our notice about the event being cancelled". I've asked for any evidence that such communication was indeed sent out. I will update here once I receive this. They are processing a refund. Although if the event was cancelled, I wonder why we had to turn up and request for a refund in the first place when it should have been processed when the event got cancelled.
We were also offered 15% discount on a future booking! 15% doesn't even cover the cost of our train ticket to get there!

Edit 2 - It looks like they've read this review. They've now offered a free session (and not the 15% discount as originally offered). I will update my review to share my experience.

Edit 3 - I've updated the rating to reflect the resolution so far (one to three stars). We have agreed to attend the event on November 22nd. I'll be making a final update following the event.

I booked this for myself and a friend and we had so much fun. We were both slightly worried at first but soon to room fell silent with concentration lol! Everyone from all ages were there. I would highly recommend it and would definitely do it again.

Went to a sculp and sip session and had a really good time. All materials and instruction are included in the session and everything is well thought through - sculpting is done with a pre-mixed air-dry clay which you can take straight home after the session, and bags are provided. There is time to be guided through making a pot and then time to freestyle and let your creativity run wild! Our artist Anna was lovely and helpful and there was a relaxed vibe to the session. It was really therapeutic and interesting way to spend an afternoon. I wouldn't hesitate to come again.

We had a really fun session! We came with ideas about what we wanted to make and the instructor gave us some helpful pointers for how to make them. I made 3 different clay objects during the session and I spent the following weekend painting them. Such a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

I have never done anything like this before, but I loved this painting session! I wanted to try more craft activities, and booked for me and an artistic friend to go. It was wonderful 🥰
I don't always feel comfortable in new environments, or with new people, but I felt right at home here. I got so engrossed in the painting that I didn't really notice the rest of the room.
Definitely coming back!

Great instructions and direction.
Large spacious venue with good light.
Everything ready to start.
Artist - Tammy- had an engaging and pleasant manner and was encouraging.

Wonderful experience. Would do again

A fun night with easy steps to follow and a great teacher (we had Mollie) yo guide us through, with a really relaxed vibe.

Was such a lovely afternoon painting, had so much fun it went by really quickly!
The instructors were really helpful and so pleased with my final painting!

The sculpt and sip was genuinely so fun. The instructor Sara was lovely. she was so helpful and friendly that any worries you had at the start of the class were gone by the end! Would definitely recommend this for something a bit different to do!

Great experience at Paintvine Leeds! Clear instructions for beginners which made it easy. Absolutely loved it …so therapeutic! Will be doing many more in the future, thank you!

The host of the event was great - very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed a realising and fun couple of hours sculpting as many things as we could think of and sipping Prosecco. I would highly recommend

Late birthday surprise for my wife. Five of us did a Bob Ross dip and paint. Great fun and we were all surprised by how good our paintings were. Thoroughly recommend.

Great experience had the best time!

Definitely be returning, they have different themes so super excited to try another one!

Really enjoyed my evening! 10/10 recommend

It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I felt well guided throughout! If you're a complete beginner, the teacher is there to motivate, encourage, and help you with any problems you might face. We had a great time! I booked it for a date, and my partner was genuinely happy with everything. Thank you all so much! 😊

Had a great time sculpting our creations and the very short tutorial at the start of the event came in so handy, our host Amelia was absolutely fantastic, so helpful and encouraging.
