Pictura Self-Led Arty Parties

Your party, your pace, all within two hours

Want a creativity-filled celebration without hiring a private room? Our Self-Led Arty Parties run on the first floor at Pictura, perfect for birthdays, get-togethers, or a fun “just because” moment.

The Self-Led Arty Party experience

Held on the first floor at Pictura. This isn’t a private function, so other self-led parties may be there at the same time. Our team gives you instructions at the start; there isn’t a party host with you for the session. Your party runs for two hours.

What’s included

  • Party-ready creative set-up – your table is fully set up as a creative zone, with all materials laid out and ready to go. No prep, no stress.
  • All materials included – paints, brushes, materials and tabletop protection. Just bring your creativity (and your camera).
  • Sweet sips for every guest – a hot chocolate or milkshake each, the perfect feel-good treat to kick off the party.
  • Two hours of creative party time to create, chat and celebrate at a relaxed pace on the first floor.
  • Bring your own cake & treats – you’re welcome to bring your own cake. We’ll make sure there’s space for you to enjoy it during your session.

A note on space & supervision

Only the birthday child’s parents can stay, no other adults. That keeps the first floor comfortable for everyone sharing it.
