About Ho Ho Gnome

Looking for a fun paint and sip event in Guelph

Join us for a cheerful guided paint-along class with our wonderful artist, Leah, at Denny’s in Guelph! 

This relaxed painting workshop is perfect for adults, couples, friends, and families looking to enjoy a creative outing together. Kids and teens who love art are absolutely welcome to join too!

During this 2-hour step-by-step painting class, Leah will guide you through creating a beautiful painting from start to finish. Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before or you paint regularly, no experience is necessary - our classes are designed to be approachable for complete beginners while still being enjoyable for experienced painters.

Your ticket includes everything you need:

- Canvas
- Paints
- Brushes
- All painting supplies needed
- A comfortable workspace

Just bring yourself and wear clothing you don’t mind getting a little paint on!

While you paint, you’re welcome to enjoy food and drinks from Denny’s, available for purchase throughout the event.

Whether you call it a paint and sip, paint night, paint-along, or guided painting class, it’s a wonderful way to spend time together. Our events make a great date, friends’ outing, family activity, or creative experience for anyone in Guelph and the surrounding communities.

Kids & Teens

Children and teens are welcome, provided they’re able to follow step-by-step instructions and comfortably participate in a class lasting approximately 1.5 - 2 hours.

This painting isn’t specifically designed for children, but if you think your child can comfortably follow along, they’re more than welcome to join!

To help keep the experience enjoyable for everyone, each child or teen must be accompanied by a participating painting adult. This is not a drop-off event, and we do not provide childcare or supervision for children.

We can’t wait to paint with you!

FAQ

Paint Nite — Everything You Need to Know

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.

Yes. Ho Ho Gnome is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Leah breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Leah is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Denny's Restaurant Guelph, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.

Leah is a real local artist based in Guelph — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 7 out of 7 guests who've painted with Leah say the instruction was amazing. . said: 'Come prepared to take direction, but feel free to pain as you like'

Denny's Restaurant Guelph is a local venue in Guelph — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.

Yes — we have 2 upcoming events in Guelph this month. You can view them here.

Ho Ho Gnome is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.

Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Guelph, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Ho Ho Gnome includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Leah. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Denny's Restaurant Guelph — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Denny's Restaurant Guelph's event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Leah starts the painting.

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 8 hours before this one starts. Rescheduling more than 48 hours in advance is free; within 48 hours of the start time there's a $20 fee per ticket. You can't reschedule within 8 hours of the start time, but if an emergency comes up, reach out to our customer service team and we'll do our best to help. Event tickets are not refundable, but your reschedule codes never expire, so you can redeem them whenever it suits you. If Paint Nite cancels this event, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
