Sip and Paint
Spend an afternoon sipping, painting and creating your own wildlife-inspired masterpiece in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
Get creative this autumn and festive season
Grab a drink, pick up a paintbrush, and let your creativity flow at our seasonal Sip & Paint experience.
Enjoy access to the zoo from 10am before making your way to The Square at 1pm, where you'll be welcomed with a chilled glass of fizz and a selection of nibbles. As you settle in, you will also hear from one of our Zoo Rangers, who will share fascinating insights into some of our incredible animals.
Then led by a professional artist, you'll be guided step-by-step as you paint your masterpiece. Total beginner? No problem. This is a judgement-free space where freestyling is welcomed and creativity runs wild.
