Mate Date, Paint your friend

Mate Date: The Ultimate Portrait Swap Night!

When: Friday, July 3rd | 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Where: Love Local

Looking for a brilliant night out with your best mate, partner, or sibling? Skip the usual pub trip and join us for Mate Date—an evening of massive laughs, zero pressure, and a tiny bit of friendly suspense!

The concept is simple: you’ll sit directly opposite your friend, easel-to-easel. Under our guidance, you'll paint their portrait, keeping your canvas completely hidden throughout the evening. At the very end, we’ll do the grand reveal! Will it be a masterpiece worthy of the Louvre, or a hilarious caricature you'll laugh about for years? There's only one way to find out.

Absolutely No Experience Needed!

This evening isn't about technical perfection—it's about relaxing, having a laugh, and trying something new. We provide all the paints, canvases, brushes, and step-by-step guidance to get you started.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Pure Fun & Relaxation: Unwind after the week in a warm, cozy, and creative atmosphere.

• The Big Reveal: The absolute highlight of the night—unveiling your artistic vision to your partner-in-crime.

• Everything Provided: Just bring yourself and your favourite person; we handle all the setup and cleanup.

• Hosted at Love Local: Enjoy the perfect local backdrop for a memorable Friday night.

• Snacks and refreshments: Prosecco, soft drinks and nibbles are included (please email info@lovelocalshop.co.uk if you have any dietary requirements)

Spaces are limited to keep things cozy, so grab your favourite human and book your easels now!
