Every Sunday, starting 10th May, we will be running sip & paint events each utilising a different medium to capture the powerfully symbolic forget-me-not flower. The artwork has been designed to work well as a complete set for you to display at home, or you can just pick your favourite medium and come along to that!
Choose from texture art, acrylics, mixed media (decoupage, acrylics & stencilling) or watercolour - or choose all four and join us every week! 10% of each standard ticket price (£15 per ticket) will be pledged to the named charity and donation pots will be available on the night. So be sure to bring your cash pledges to the table! To help us get into the creative spirit, Lago will very kindly be offering a glass of fizz to every painting guest!

Corporate Events & Celebrations!
Looking for something a little different for your next team event or celebration?
Our 60–120 minute creative clay sessions offer a relaxed, hands-on experience where people can switch off, get a little messy, and enjoy making something with their own two hands. No experience is needed - just a willingness to play, explore, and have fun!
Working with clay is naturally grounding and calming. It encourages people to slow down, be present, and connect - not just with the material, but with each other.
As the clay takes shape, conversations flow more easily, laughter comes naturally, and the pressure of “getting it right” disappear. Release that inner imagination and flow and see how it positively impacts work relationships and business!
These sessions are perfect for:
-
Team-building
-
Corporate wellbeing events
-
Client entertainment
-
Staff celebrations
Each workshop is designed to be light-hearted, inclusive, and genuinely enjoyable. Guests will be guided through simple techniques before creating their own unique pieces, with plenty of freedom to experiment and make it their own.
The focus isn’t perfection, it’s connection, creativity, and a shared experience that people will remember long after the clay has dried.
All materials are provided, the process is low-mess, and the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. All that's needed is a an empty office or workspace!
