Event ticket - Manchester 22.10.2026

Spend a few hours with us and fall in love with painting furniture.

We're hosting two relaxed get-togethers in one day — one in the morning, one in the evening — and you're warmly invited to join us at whichever time suits you best.

Both sessions begin with a short, friendly introduction to furniture painting from our guest speaker, who'll walk you through the essentials and answer any questions you have along the way. You'll get hands-on with The One for Wood, our paint-and-primer-in-one, and discover for yourself why it's the easiest and safest way to paint wood. There's nothing complicated to learn, no special tools to buy, and no harsh smells to worry about — the paint is gentle enough to use comfortably indoors (it's VOC-free). Whether you've transformed dozens of pieces or you're simply curious to begin, you'll feel right at home.

Pastries & Paint — Morning Session (10am–1pm)

Start your day with something good. Alongside the painting, we'll be tasting coffee and freshly baked pastries from a local bakery — the perfect pairing for a slow, creative morning.

Sip & Paint — Evening Session (6:45pm–10pm)

Unwind as the day comes to a close. Our sommelier will pair a selection of The One for Wood colours with a curated list of wines, so you can sip, paint, and see your favourite shades in a whole new light.

What's included at both sessions:

• A short intro to furniture painting from our guest speaker
• Hands-on time with The One for Wood paint
• Tips, techniques, and answers to your questions
• The chance to meet fellow furniture painters, restorers, and upcyclers

Pick your time, choose your ticket, and we'll see you there.
