Question 1

Is Tipsy Trees good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tipsy Trees is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Carl  breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Carl  is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Mingle by Mr and Mrs Bao, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.

Question 3

Is this good for a girls night or bachelorette party in London?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Tipsy Trees is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in London. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.

Question 4

What's Carl  like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Carl  is a real local artist based in London — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 11 out of 12 guests who've painted with Carl  say the instruction was amazing. Lisa L. said: 'The artist was very helpful , personable, and welcoming ! He was great at explaining the techniques , and colour pallets! Awesome experience!'

Question 5

What's Mingle by Mr and Mrs Bao like?

Accepted Answer

Mingle by Mr and Mrs Bao is a local venue in London — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.

Question 6

Are there more Paint Nite events in London?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 5 upcoming events in London this month.

Question 7

Is Tipsy Trees a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Tipsy Trees is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.

Question 8

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in London, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Tipsy Trees includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Carl . Drinks and food are ordered separately from Mingle by Mr and Mrs Bao — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Tipsy Trees?

Accepted Answer

Mingle by Mr and Mrs Bao's doors open at 5:00 PM, the event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Carl  starts the painting.

Question 11

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.

Question 12

What does "Guaranteed to Run" mean?

Accepted Answer

This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
