FAQs

I'm a novice – is this event for me? Can I come by myself?

Definitely! There's no better place to start and if you let us know at the front desk, we'll find you a buddy to show you the ropes and introduce you around. We try to team up solo artists with others and, remember, there's a special Novice competition with a prize of a place on a Façade Academy course.

What can I bring into the event?

Bring your own painting equipment – painting kit and tables – and lunch. There are also fast food concessions in the wildlife park itself.

Can I come by train?

Yes, to Broxbourne station, where you will find the Paradise Wildlife Park bus.
