Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Pumpkin Garden Cat is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Vera 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.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Vera is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Mad Dawgs Public House, 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.
Yes — Pumpkin Garden Cat is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in PICKERING. 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.
Vera is a real local artist based in PICKERING — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 10 out of 12 guests who've painted with Vera say the instruction was amazing. . said: 'Fantastic way to end a day, especially my friends birthday 🥰 will do this again! Instructor was fantastic, funny, energetic and super welcoming fun experience all around'
Mad Dawgs Public House is a local venue in PICKERING — 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.
Yes — we have 5 upcoming events in PICKERING this month. You can view them here.
Pumpkin Garden Cat is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.
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 PICKERING, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Pumpkin Garden Cat 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 Vera. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Mad Dawgs Public House — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Mad Dawgs Public House's doors open at 11:00 AM, 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 Vera starts the painting.
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.
