It’s been a little while since I’ve done an update, but there’s LOTS happening over the next few weeks!

🔎 Pokémon Scavenger Hunt
There are now less than 48 hours left to get your entries in! The deadline is midnight Wednesday 2nd September.

This is the third year I’ve run the hunt and we’ve had more entries this year than the previous two years combined! 🤯

A massive thank you to everyone who has taken part, all of our sponsors and everyone who has donated prizes.

🏆 I’ll be LIVE on TikTok around lunchtime on Sunday 6th September to draw the winners!

✏️ Doodle Club is back this Saturday
If you fancy an hour of creativity at the studio, you can book your place through the website as normal.

🎨 Paint the Park — Sunday 13th September
Next weekend I’ll be at Stanley Park for Paint the Park!

We’ve got some fantastic artists coming down to create artwork throughout the day, followed by judging at at around 3:30pm.

Come along, bring a picnic, explore the grounds, watch the artists at work and make a day of it. The Alverbank will also have a BBQ running during the day. 🌭

The Studio is closed for the weekend whilst I dance in a field.

🎨 PAINT THE PARK — SUNDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER! 🌳

We’re now just over two weeks away from the very first Paint the Park at Stanley Park, Gosport!

Come down and spend the day watching local artists transform blank canvases into original works of art, live in the park.

Bring a picnic, grab a spot on the grass and make a day of it with friends and family. Wander around the park, meet the artists, watch their work develop throughout the day and enjoy a relaxed afternoon celebrating art, creativity and community.

🔥 will also be running a BBQ throughout the day, so there’ll be plenty of opportunity to grab some food while you’re there.

🏆 At the end of the day, we’ll head over to The Alverbank for the judging, where the finished artworks will come together and our winners will be announced.

📍 Stanley Park, Gosport
📅 Sunday 13th September 2026
🎨 Live painting: 10am–2pm
🏆 Judging to follow at The Alverbank
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Everyone welcome

Pack a picnic, bring the family and come and experience creativity in the park.

🎨 ARTISTS: Please check your emails! I’ve sent an important update asking everyone to confirm their attendance. If you can’t see it, please check your junk folder or drop me a message.

Help us make the first Paint the Park a brilliant day — share this post and invite your friends and family! 🎨🌳

A brilliant time spray painting last night with Motiv8 South - Gosport I always enjoy seeing Children start off reserved and not interested and at the end of the sessions not wanting to put the cans down. One of the greatest perks of my job.

Evening office set up at Motiv8 South - Gosport to do some spray painting. 🤙🤙🤙
