Your Paint & Sip host, Eimear Campbell, is a talented local artist known for using creativity as an outlet for expressing emotions and a way of helping our mental wellbeing by focusing our attention on physically creating something. Eimear loves to help groups tap into their creativity, whether they’re seasoned painters or complete beginners.
She’ll tailor your private workshop to suit your theme from painting wildflowers inspired by the County Down landscape to more personalised designs. Every workshop is bespoke, making your event truly one of a kind.
When it comes to planning a hen party in Northern Ireland, it can be tricky to find activities that suit everyone. A Paint & Sip workshop ticks all the boxes: fun, inclusive, memorable, and perfectly paired with prosecco!
You can dress up the room, bring along nibbles and fizz, and enjoy an afternoon of creativity before continuing your celebrations. Many hens love pairing this with an overnight stay at Larchfield Estate, making it a full countryside escape.
Paint & Sip events aren’t just for hen parties they’re ideal for baby showers, milestone birthdays, or simply a girls’ night out with a twist.
Gather your best friends, mums, aunties, or colleagues and enjoy a few relaxing hours away from it all. Create keepsakes to treasure, share stories, and make memories surrounded by the charm of Larchfield’s historic setting and beautiful gardens.
Your private Paint & Sip can take place in one of Larchfield’s charming heritage spaces - maybe the cosy Greenhouse with views over the gardens, or even inside one of our rustic-chic cottages. In warmer months, we can even set up alfresco in the walled gardens (weather permitting — it is Northern Ireland, after all!).
Between painting, you’re free to stroll through our private gardens, have a dip in the hot tub or simply catch up with your favourite people surrounded by nature.
With room for up to 43 sleeping on site (but by no means do you need to book for this many!) we can accommodate different combinations of group sizes - contact us to check availability for your group size!
Why not turn your Paint & Sip workshop into a full weekend getaway? Stay in our luxury self-catering cottages, enjoy the gardens, explore County Down’s scenic countryside, and relax by the fire after a day of fun.
It’s the ultimate Northern Ireland staycation and a perfect way to mark special occasions in style.
Ready to plan a hen party, baby shower, or birthday that everyone will remember?
