The Wayfarer, 1-3 Alder lane, Parbold, Wigan, WN8 7NL

Step into a magical autumn evening as Mino Art School brings you a fully guided painting session in the cosy, welcoming surroundings of The Wayfarer, Parbold.

With the countryside just outside and the warmth of the season within, we’ll capture the rich glow of autumn — the russet oranges of the fox’s fur, the golden hues of falling leaves, the deep midnight blues of a star-lit sky, and the soft warmth of pumpkins resting at its feet.

This is more than a painting class: it’s a chance to slow down, sip, relax, and create. Under Julia’s step-by-step guidance, every stage of the artwork is broken down clearly, with differentiated teaching for all abilities — so whether you’re a complete beginner or a confident painter, you’ll leave with a finished piece you’ll be proud of.
