Sip & Paint
Paint Your Own
Lincoln Imp
Unleash your creativity in our guided 90-minute painting session. Choose your imp and personalise it using our extensive selection of paints, all while relaxing with a glass in hand.
The Experience
Step into our workshop beneath the enchanted oak tree and take your place at your workbench. Each session is guided by our team of Imp Catchers, who will walk you through the process from start to finish.
You will choose your own unpainted imp and bring it to life using our range of acrylic paints. Whether you choose traditional stone tones, vibrant colours, or something entirely your own, the choice is yours.
Once you have finished painting, we take care of the rest, finishing each imp off by hand so it lasts. The result is a completely unique, hand-painted Lincoln Imp that nobody else in the world will have.

Workshop Questions
Not at all. Our Imp Catchers guide you through every step, from choosing colours to applying finishing touches. Complete beginners are welcome.
Each session has a maximum of 8 places, keeping it intimate and ensuring everyone gets plenty of attention from our Imp Catchers.
Yes. Children are welcome with an accompanying adult. We recommend the workshop for ages 14 and above. We also occasionally put on ‘grown-up and me’ children-friendly events, where ages 6 and up are welcome.
Acrylic paints can stain, so we recommend wearing something you do not mind getting a little paint on. Aprons are provided.
Yes. If you would like to book the full session for a private group (birthday, hen party, team event, etc.), please contact us and we will arrange it.
Once you have painted it, we finish each imp off by hand, sanding and sealing it so it lasts. This can take up to a week. When it is ready you are welcome to collect it from the shop, or we can post it out to you for a small extra fee.
Private Group Sessions
Planning a birthday, hen party, team outing, or special occasion? We can arrange a private workshop session for your group. Get in touch and we will make it happen.
