Childers Paint and Sip

Childers is a town that knows how to have a night out

Childers might sit between Bundaberg and Maryborough on the Bruce Highway but it is nobody's drive-through stop. The Palace Backpackers Memorial. The historic Federal Hotel. The Childers Festival every July. The Pharmacy Museum. The cane fields out toward Apple Tree Creek and Cordalba. This is a town with proper character and a community that turns up for the things that matter. Paint Juicy in Childers is one of those things. We bring the whole show to a Childers partner venue, run the three-hour singalong-fuelled session, and the room sells out every single time.

The thing about a Paint Juicy night in a town like Childers is the room hits a different energy than a city session. Everyone knows someone. Everyone arrives ready. The host gets on the mic and the room is already with us by the second song. The singalong moments are louder. The laughs are bigger. The canvases at the end of the night are absolutely as good as anywhere else in the country.

What is in a Childers session

• Hosted live by an artist who runs the entire room from a mic
• Easels up, paint poured, brushes ready, aprons hung at every spot
• A theme-matched playlist that gets the room going by song two
• Three hours of singalongs, country town trivia and stunts you cannot plan for
• One canvas worth keeping and one night worth talking about
• Set up and packed down so you only have to bring yourselves
• A Childers partner venue with the food and drinks side handled

Hens parties, birthdays and country town hens weekends

Country hens weekends in the Wide Bay Burnett region are a thing, and Paint Juicy is the activity that holds them together. Friends fly into Bundy, drive out to Childers for a long weekend, settle into a country Airbnb or a pub stay, and book a Paint Juicy private session as the headline night. The format works because you do not need a fancy venue, a city budget or a big crowd to get a properly memorable night. You just need ten or more guests, a room with power and a roof, and Paint Juicy. We bring the rest.

When does Paint Juicy come back to Childers?

Childers runs on a rotating Wide Bay Burnett schedule. Some months there is a public session on the calendar right now. Other months we are between dates while the next one gets scheduled. Public sessions in regional towns sell out fast because the room is small and the demand is loud. The Paint Juicy newsletter is the fastest way to be first in line for a new Childers date.

If you cannot wait, a private booking lets you choose your own date and venue. $700 flat for the first 10 guests, $65 per guest after that, minimum 10 paid seats. Hens parties, milestone birthdays, work crews, fundraisers and country Christmas parties all work in Childers. We come to you.
