Back to one of our favourite venues for this Halloween event.

What better place than the oldest pub in Darlington, (which is sure to have ghosts!), to spend Halloween eve.

So many people tell me they can't paint. Come and join the creative fun and learn some tips to help you paint a Halloween decoration to be proud of.

We are bringing our Halloween sip and paint to another fantastic venue!

Even if you don't think you can paint, I have small groups, so I can teach you lots of hacks to help you create this fantastic Halloween decoration which you can use for years to come.

We will be in the conservatory, so get yourself a drink, spooky themed if possible and come through for some creative fun.

(If you are driving, remember to pop your reg in the machine at the bar!)

Any questions or to book, drop me a message or email [email protected]

Back from 7.30pm — round up your cleverest mates, pick your team name and come and put those brain cells to work! - it’s looking busy so don’t delay in booking your table! 😄

📚✨ THURSDAY – OUR FIRST FANTASY BOOK CLUB
Something brand new for The Blue Bell! Join us from 7pm for the very first gathering of our Fantasy Book Club — a relaxed evening of discussing and choosing epic stories, magical worlds, good conversation and, naturally, a drink or two.

Whether you’re a quiz regular, a fantasy fanatic… or fancy joining us for both, everyone is welcome! ❤️

Two great nights. One busy week at The Blue Bell - see you here!

An exciting new venue for us to try. Beautiful refurb and welcoming staff to support us at The Oak Tree- Middleton St George

Come and grab yourself a drink and settle down for a couple of hours of spooky creativity.

You will learn a few hacks to make a painting you can proudly display, rather than a horror show.

Cocktails are 2 for £12, and there's a great w**e list plus mocktails too.

Drop me a msg, if you want to join our creepy canvas session.
