Arty Party
My Arty Parties are a fun, relaxed way to get creative with friends, family or colleagues.
I run regular monthly Arty Parties at The New Inn in Enderby, Leicester where the landlady Linda provides a lovely light buffet to enjoy halfway through the session and a bar is available for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages.
Everything is provided including aprons, rags, brushes, paints, easels, canvases, instruction and Linda's luscious light buffet. Please inform us of any allergies or dietary requirements and allow a bit of spending money if you'd like a drink from the bar.
You can see dates and book my regular Arty Parties below.
Alternatively you can book a private party at a venue of your choice with a group of people who would like to paint their own canvas. Various themes available and parties can be customised according to your group's interests. Everyone who has attended to date has enjoyed my parties and people often surprise themselves with their results.
Please message me below to discuss a private party.

"I went on a course ran by Hayley at Fearon Hall, it was a lovely class. Hayley is a great tutor, her work is lovely."
-
"Hayley ran a team event for 10 people and was fabulous. She connected us to our task for the morning, she linked us to our brand and values and got us thinking about what we wanted to create. Hayley dealt with the fear of looking at a blank canvas and got us working individually brilliantly - she was knowledgeable, informative - and made supportive suggestions throughout so everyone felt proud of what they’d achieved. Hayley had all the kit, had thought of everything and gave us hints and tips on how to use everything so we could have fun and chat as a team. Totally recommend and with her lovely energy she’s a pleasure to work with."

Not at all! You will be guided through each step and given as much help as you need. It's a fun opportunity to give something a go that you've never tried before. And you may well surprise yourself...!
-
Definitely not! Hayley will be responsive to each person's level of ability. There is no requirement to stick to the steps and design covered in the session. You can put your own spin on the task, or do your own thing entirely! If nothing else, the event will provide the time, space, equipment and atmosphere to allow you to be your creative self with no other demands.

The events at The New Inn are in a pub so there is easy access to a licensed bar and people are welcome to go for hot, cold, soft and alcoholic drinks and bring them back to the party room at their leisure.
-
At the New Inn, the landlady Linda provides a wonderful spread of breads, pates, meats, salads, dips, breads, crackers, crisps etc. It is a little different every time depending on what f Linda has available at the time but we always check any dietary requirements and tailor it to those.
-
Any events arranged at The New Inn will include the light buffet if wanted. Hayley does not provide food for events organised elsewhere but this can be arranged directly with the hosting venue if desired.
-
At private events, it is up to the host to decide whether they wish to include children. In my experience, children aged 10 and over are generally able to participate and enjoy the event. Younger children are likely to need a lot of support that would need to be provided by their parent/carer otherwise it would distract from the instruction Hayley is able to give to the rest of the party guests. Just bear in mind that a parent managing a child would not have the same opportunity to work on their own canvas. I am happy to discuss this with customers during the organisation of the event.
-
At the New Inn, mature children aged ten and above are usually welcome unless a group of adults have purchased tickets and have expressed a preference for it to be adult only. Please let me know when buying a ticket if it is intended for a child so we can ensure it is workable.
-
This is something I would definitely be happy to discuss. I often work in schools and have DBS clearance and am happy to look at your requirements to see if we can plan something that would work for your child
-
I don't tend exceed 8-10 people at my parties at the New Inn. If you were organising a bigger event, I would ask an additional artist to assist me for every ten additional guests.

I provide tables easels, paints, brushes (and other mark making tools), mixing pallets, water, cloths, aprons, table coverings, canvases, templates and instruction sheets where needed.
