The Hardinge Arms

We had a brilliant, social evening at the start of the year on a Tuesday night! Sometimes Sarah Paints hosted a relaxed watercolour workshop where participants learnt how to utilise masking fluid to make some great artwork.
Sarah is back on the 30th of this month for another casual class. This time, she'll guide you through the skill to use "negative space" to create an image by painting the background!

As Sarah states:
"It’s way more fun than sitting in a quiet room worrying if you’re “doing it right.”
An art workshop at the pub means you can relax — grab a drink, have a laugh, and stop overthinking every brushstroke. There’s no pressure, no judgement — it’s about having a go, not being Picasso!
Basically, it’s art without the awkwardness."

Too hot for a roast on Father's Day?
We agree, so why not enjoy something from our main menu, served 12-4pm. 😋
We have a variety of games you can play with the family, including darts (if you're a little older than Katie!).🎲🎯🃏♟️
Then from 4:30pm, we have live music to enjoy in the bar. 🎶🎙️🎶

Sound like a pretty decent way to spend the day with Dad!
See you here!

With the hot weather arriving, we've created a refreshing, real fruit slushie which can be "adultified" (amazing new word, we know 😂) with a 50ml shot of spirits from our house range. 😋
Keep your eyes peeled for other flavours 👀

Tuesday night workshops:

Firstly, a little update to the calendar.
Harsha @ India Inspired Crafts contacted the pub in April to say she could no longer host- thank you for giving us so much notice!
We're delighted to announce our new hosts:

Firstly on 28th July 6:30-8pm, Alice from The Leafy Snug will guide you through the process to create your own Kokedama - a moss ball around the roots of a plant, negating the need for a pot! Alice will bring a variety of plants for you to choose from, so get back to nature & create something cool!

Then on 27th Oct 6:30-8:30pm, Emily from Nightingale Florals & Events will bring all you need to produce a seasonal floral pumpkin display - a great piece of natural decor for the time of year!

Now just a reminder of our June workshops:

This coming Tuesday, join Emma from Silkworm Creative 6:30-9:30pm & make a unique set of jewellery including earrings, necklace & a ring from versatile polymer clay. These will be ready to wear at the end of the workshop & can reflect your personal style or make a great gift!

On 30th June, Sometimes Sarah Paints returns to the Hardinge to provide relaxed guidance with her watercolour workshop. This time, Sarah will focus on "negative space", where you will develop the skills to paint the background, rather than the subject.

All booking information is on our workshop calendar, see you here!
