WORKSHOP
Paint yer Mate
FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER | 6pm - 8pm
£60 FOR TWO TICKETS | FREE FIRST DRINK
Your mate. Their face. Your masterpiece.
Get stuck into a fun, hands-on portrait workshop using acrylic paint and create your own take on someone you know. No experience necessary — we’ll guide you through the process, but there’s plenty of room to make it your own.
A relaxed creative session with good people, good music and absolutely no pressure to be perfect.
Drinks are in the fridge — and your first one’s on us.
Bring your mate. Paint their portrait. See what happens.
Accessibility
We want everyone to feel welcome at The Artery.
Arch 28 is fully step-free and wheelchair accessible, with wide, level access throughout the venue and a large accessible WC. Our spaces are on one level, making it easy to move between the gallery, workshop and studio areas.
We’re happy to accommodate different access needs wherever we can. If you have a question about accessibility, or there’s something you’d like us to arrange before your visit, please get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
Getting here
We’re tucked away in the railway arches on Croft Walk, Worcester WR1 3BD, right by The Hive and just a few minutes from Worcester city centre.
On foot
From Worcester city centre, head towards The Hive and the river. We’re along Croft Walk, at the bottom of the railway arches. It’s around a 5–10 minute walk from the city centre.
From Worcester Foregate Street Station
We’re really easy to find. Walk directly out of the station and follow the railway arches down towards The Hive. We’re at the bottom, just before you reach The Hive — around a 5-minute walk.
By car
There are several car parks within walking distance. Croft Road and Cattle Market are both nearby. Croft Road is in the green parking zone, while Cattle Market is in the amber zone.
By bus
Most city-centre bus services stop within easy walking distance. Head towards Foregate Street / The Hive, then follow Croft Walk towards the railway arches.
