If your festive calendar is filling up fast but you still want to do something a little different, Cork & Chroma South Bank is bringing the Christmas cheer with hands on creative fun that feels more like a night out than a traditional craft class. This December, the studio is serving festive vibes alongside paint, pastels and plenty of creative freedom, making it the perfect stop for date nights, mate catch ups or a little end of year creative therapy.

‍

Art Café

The C&C Art Café is where Christmas creativity really kicks off. Book a table, choose your art project from the menu and let the team bring everything straight to you. It is relaxed, playful and refreshingly pressure free.

‍

Pick from acrylic painting, watercolours, collage, beaded keepsakes, mixed media or acrylic on bisqueware. For December, festive themed bisqueware is also on offer, including Christmas trees, Santa and other seasonal favourites, plus rotating craft specials that keep things exciting for repeat visits.

‍

Each booking includes two hours of self-guided creative time. Sip on T2 tea, enjoy the calming aromatherapy, refresh at the Artist Hand Station or BYO drinks to turn it into a fully customised festive night out.

‍

Bookings are encouraged, especially on busy nights, with walk ins welcome when space allows. Book your Art Café table here.

‍

Art Café runs Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30pm to 9:30pm and Sundays from 11am to 4pm.

Alongside Art Café, Cork & Chroma is also hosting a series of festive workshops that are perfect for getting into the holiday spirit.
