Sip & Paint Night At The Botanist, Ipswich, painting Gertie Giraffe

Wednesday 15th July 2026
7–9PM | The Botanist, Ipswich

Let’s keep this simple.

You need a night out that gives something back.
Not just another dinner.
Not just drinks and small talk.
Something that feels different — because it is.

That’s exactly what The Funky Easel paint nights are.
And on 15th July we’re bringing it to The Botanist — with a bold, vibrant piece called Gertie Giraffe

You don’t need to be good at painting.
You don’t need to come with friends.
You just need to be up for a couple of hours that are genuinely enjoyable —
with a paintbrush in one hand and a cocktail (or mocktail) in the other.

I’ll walk you through the whole painting step by step — no stress, no “art speak,” no being left behind.
You’ll be sat in a buzzing space with other lovely humans,
all doing something fun, a little different, and surprisingly calming.

It’s not an art class.
It’s not a party.
It’s a bit of both — and people leave smiling, every time.

✔️ Full guided painting experience (materials included)
✔️ Your own finished canvas to take home
✔️ The chance to do something memorable — whether you come solo or bring the gang

These events often fill up fast (especially when they’re at venues like this),
so if you’re even thinking about it — I’d love you to just say yes.

Save your seat
