A live art masterclass mixed with an afternoon tea is coming to Cadbury House in Congresbury.

The reputable four-star hotel is hosting the unique event that merges an art masterclass with a delightful culinary experience.

Art aficionados have the chance to learn from famed artist, Becky Milnor, recognised for her nature-inspired artwork and the noteworthy use of gold leaf on her creations.

She will conduct a live painting session, unravelling the secrets behind her distinctive style and demonstrating how she transforms a plain canvas into a captivating work of art.

Attendees will then get a chance to delve into their artistic side by creating their own sketch.

Upon completion of the painting class, an afternoon tea including a glass of fizz will be served, giving guests an opportunity to admire Ms Milnor's work and that of their fellow attendees.

Becky Milnor said: "As a child, I lived on a farm in rural Devon, my fondest memories are of sunny days exploring the outdoors.

"My art is countryside-inspired, and I am drawn to the glamour of the art deco era, evident in the use of gold leaf in my work.

"The luminosity created by gold leaf when natural light hits the canvas is spectacular."

The afternoon tea is set to be served from 1.30pm.
