Do I need any painting experience to join?

What should I bring to the workshop?
All painting materials are provided, including canvas, paints, brushes and aprons. Just bring yourself and get ready to relax and enjoy a creative experience. You’re also welcome to bring your favourite drinks and snacks.
What is Paint in the Dark?
Paint in the Dark is a unique glow-in-the-dark painting experience where you’ll create artwork using fluorescent paints under UV lights. The studio lights are dimmed to create a fun neon atmosphere while our instructor guides you through the painting.
See more FAQs   
Will I still be able to see what I’m painting in the dark?
Yes! While the room is dimmed for the glow effect, UV lighting illuminates the fluorescent paints so you can clearly see your artwork as it comes to life. The glowing colours make the painting process even more exciting.

Recent reviews of Paint and Sip Class in the Dark©

  • 5/5 from Laura Reiche, attended Oct 2026: It was so much fun! My partner wasn’t really keen on it at first, but after an hour, he asked me if we could do it again tomorrow. The music, the atmosphere, the colours… it’s definitely worth it!
  • 5/5 from Simone Gianarelli, attended Oct 2026: We absolutely loved the atmosphere with the lights and vibes. Our teacher was a delight. We loved the freedom to paint what we wanted. It was the perfect way to celebrate a birthday.
  • 5/5 from Samuel Jack Bartlett, attended Oct 2026: It was very good
  • 5/5 from Maya Kawashima, attended Sep 2026: I absolutely loved this class. I came here solo; I never felt 'alone', as our instructor was super helpful and friendly. The fluoro paints were intriguing - they worked super well on our canvas! I was extremely happy with my painting - I had not painted properly for so long, and it was super liberating to do so. I will definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Chelsea Zhang, attended Sep 2026: It was a good experience for my first time trying glow-in-the-dark painting. I think it’s a great experience for anyone who enjoys painting. You don’t need to worry about whether you’re good at it. You can just be creative and paint freely. I was very happy with my final artwork.
  • 5/5 from Wendy Tran, attended Sep 2026: Such a fun and unique experience! Great atmosphere, friendly teacher, and lots of laughs. Would definitely recommend! ✨
  • 5/5 from Varun Madan Mohan, attended Sep 2026: I chose this class as a fun closing activity for my partner's birthday celebration. The glow in the dark ambience was a fun little twist from more conventional paint and sip classes, and we had a lot of fun. Our teacher was wonderful and encouraging, and allowed us to find our own ideas and kept motivating us throughout the night. I think that the class was of the right size - a few more people and it would've felt crowded and possibly overwhelming. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn some basic painting techniques, or to more advanced artists who want to try out something new!
  • 5/5 from Mey, attended Sep 2026: Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Maria Aviles, attended Aug 2026: I went with my family and we all had a great time! The instructor was amazing and the vibes of the place were wonderful!
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Dikiciyan, attended Aug 2026: The teacher was AMAZING! So lovely and clearly experienced. The vibes and the music was top tier and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. You don’t have to be good at painting to have fun!
  • 5/5 from Chelsea Barnes, attended Aug 2026: Great intimate teaching class - highly recommend coming and being creative!!
  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Notley-Rumbens, attended Aug 2026: Brought my friends along for my birthday and was so much fun! I had unfortunately turned up very late for the event, but the staff was so kind to catch me up to speed and assured there was no stress! Amazing experience!!
  • 4/5 from Yunseo Lim, attended Aug 2026: It was such a fun night
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Hunt, attended Jul 2026: Fabulous 50th birthday full of fun and loads of laughs. Delightful teachers and a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
  • 5/5 from Voula Papathanasiou, attended Jul 2026: What an amazing experience we had today. My husband, our two young granddaughters and I had the most wonderful time at the Paint and Sip in the Dark class. The atmosphere was so much fun, with fantastic music, and a wonderful glow-in-the-dark painting experience that we all enjoyed. It was the perfect activity for all ages, and it was so special creating beautiful memories together as a family. The staff were friendly, welcoming and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. We all left with our own colourful masterpieces and huge smiles on our faces. If you’re looking for something different, creative and fun to do with family or friends, I highly recommend giving it a try. We’ll definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Amy Dow, attended Jul 2026: I recommend this relaxing adventure to all
  • 5/5 from Ho Sun Kim, attended Jul 2026: Had great funn time! Loved the atmosphere, great selections of music to listen while painting! We did glowed in the darkkk~~
  • 5/5 from Yoganya Arunothayaraj, attended Jul 2026: So much fun! Great guidance from the teachers, great music, and a great time with friends and family creating awesome artwork! This was our second time painting in the dark, and we'll definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Carter Reed, attended Jul 2026: We had lots of fun, it was well run. It would have been nice to have had the option of buying a drink while there. Two awesome glow in the dark pictures a memento.
  • 4/5 from Brandy Santon, attended Jul 2026: The class was well organised and set out, however we were expecting more guidance and to draw something as a whole instead of just drawing anything with minimal guidance. The night was fun however, the BYO is a great idea and the girls loved it other then that.
  • 4/5 from Brenda Fulton, attended Jul 2026: We had a lovely time celebrating our daughters 19th birthday here. Music was good and lots of creative art work completed. Hardest bit was coming up with an idea and knowing if you'd fully painted the canvas. In the blue light it was easy to miss bits of paint, especially if you were using blue paint. Overall it was fun experience and team were very welcoming. If you choose to byo food and drinks, they had cutlery, cheese boards & glasses but limited table space (and you didn't have heaps of time to eat & drink anyway as you're busy painting!) Thank you for a great time.
  • 5/5 from Jessie Rogers, attended Jun 2026: If you want to paint your own thing, this is a great class. There is a semi-guided painting if you want to follow but it is a quick tutorial so don't expect a step by step for the whole time. Great to do with a few friends.
  • 5/5 from Carmel Jones, attended Jun 2026: South African, community building event!

  • 5/5 from Cindy Cataldo, attended Jun 2026: I took my girlfriend to Sip and paint for her birthday as it was something different. We did the night one with 70s music theme. We laughed so much as we didn’t know after a few glasses of wine if our paintings would turn out as kindergarten paintings or Picasso.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Watson, attended Jun 2026: We took a friend along to this as a surprise birthday treat. The atmosphere was fun: we sang along to the great playlist as we each created our own creation. The hosts were really encouraging and helpful. Annabelle directed us without it feeling like we were in a class.

  • 5/5 from Alfonso Varela, attended May 2026: We recently went to Paint for Fun for a date night and honestly had such a great experience. It was the perfect activity to relax, bond, and just enjoy ourselves together. The atmosphere was friendly, welcoming, and very relaxed, which made the whole experience even better. The girl running the session was absolutely fantastic, providing help, encouragement, and guidance every step of the way while still making it fun and easygoing. Neither of us are professional artists, but that did not matter at all. We had an awesome time, shared lots of laughs, and left feeling really happy with the experience. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend Paint for Fun to anyone looking for a fun, creative, and memorable experience, especially for a date night!
  • 5/5 from Priasha Nagaretnam, attended May 2026: Came to celebrate Mother's Day. It was a 1st time experience for the family. We loved the music, vibe and the atmosphere. Teacher was helpful, instructive, friendly, supportive. Painted a sunset scene, following the teacher.
  • 5/5 from Brett Wilson, attended May 2026: Wife and I had a great time, the teachers were amazing, helpful and made it a really fun experience! 100% recommend!
  • 5/5 from Louise Alldritt, attended May 2026: Three generations of girls came to celebrate Mother’s Day at the Paint in the Dark session! We had a fabulous time… great atmosphere, great instructions and guidance, nice crowd…. With a great playlist, we had a bit of a boogie in between painting phases…. We were all surprised and what we managed to paint…. As beginners they ended up remarkably well due to the great support we were given… would definitely recommend for a great night out!
  • 3/5 from Francesca Richards, attended May 2026: Class itself was really fun! The environment was very cool and had a good atmosphere. The tutors were kind and patient. However, it was frustrating that the class took over half an hour to start from the advertised time. A large group booking failed to show up on time which meant to other customers had to sit around and wait. When you pay for an experience that starts at 7pm, you shouldn't be waiting until 7.40pm to start. I felt this wasted a good chunk of our time.
  • 5/5 from Lester Almazan, attended Apr 2026: We just want to do something new and this one was so fun! The hosts were really great and high energy so good. Cool vibes and very chill we liked it.
  • 5/5 from Amy Lewis, attended Apr 2026: Chloe was amazing!! We had such a great time. Loved how they gave us plenty of inspiration to choose from or just come up with our own ideas
  • 5/5 from Kala Neumann, attended Apr 2026: Had an amazing time and Chloe was amazing! Never painted before and had a blast! Great energy, vibes and BYO food and drinks added to the fun.
  • 5/5 from Anne, attended Apr 2026: It was a Christmas gift from my daughter.... and we had a fantastic time. I am not very good at drawing or painting but with the help of the fantastic teacher... the end result was not bad at all. The staff were friendly and encouraging... and fun. I would certainly do this again. Thank you all for your hospitality.
  • 5/5 from Talia Urlu, attended Apr 2026: It was a great experience for me and my boyfriend, we will be back again :)
