Swiss Mountain Bloom
Thursday, 28th May 2026
The Wayfarer, Alder Lane, Parbold WN8 7NL
18:30 - 20:30
Be guided step by step to create your own beautiful Alpine Meadow canvas, inspired by the soft, layered landscapes and wildflower colours of the Swiss Alps.
Working with rich acrylics on canvas, you’ll build the painting gradually, from the misty mountain backdrop through to the meadow foreground, using beautiful tones of cornflower blue, periwinkle, lavender, violet, soft sage and touches of buttercup yellow. Inspired by alpine blooms such as cornflowers, harebells and meadow wildflowers, this is a gorgeous piece to paint and a relaxing one to lose yourself in.
🎨 Fully guided – no drawing required
✨ Absolutely suitable for beginners
🖌 All materials providedLed by Julia Pendlebury, a registered and highly experienced Art & Design teacher, you’ll be supported throughout and shown each stage clearly, so you can enjoy the process and leave with a finished canvas to feel proud of.
Set in a beautiful countryside location, The Wayfarer is the perfect setting for a midweek creative evening, with its cosy open fires, blooming gardens and warm, welcoming atmosphere.
With a gorgeous midweek menu, seasonal produce and homegrown ingredients, plus a full bar for refreshments, it’s a lovely way to turn your painting session into an extra special evening out.

“Fabulous experience all round. Great evening even though we’d not done anything like this since school days! Relaxed, enjoyable and all the resources you need. It was great to give it a go and experience the freedom of painting without expectation. Totally liberating and I’ve painted since.”
