Why everyone loves a Movie Magic Paint Juicy night

Movie soundtracks are the songs you never plan to learn but somehow know every word to anyway. Top Gun. Dirty Dancing. Grease. The Bodyguard. The Lion King. Frozen. Mamma Mia. Moulin Rouge. La La Land. Bohemian Rhapsody. The Greatest Showman. We built Movie Magic Paint and Sip around exactly that, because if there is one playlist that gets a room of strangers singing without thinking, it is the soundtrack one.

Every session is hosted live by a real artist who walks the room with a microphone. Every step is guided so even the most 'I cannot draw a stick figure' guest leaves with something worth hanging on the fridge. Singalong moments and trivia are baked in throughout, partly because they are riotously fun, partly because they let the paint dry between layers. By the third soundtrack moment you will have forgotten you ever felt awkward in your life.

What is included in every Movie Magic session

• A live host artist on the mic walking every guest through the painting step by step
• Premium paint, brushes, easel, canvas and apron set up at every seat before you arrive
• A movie soundtrack playlist packed with the songs you forgot you knew every word to
• Trivia, games and laugh-out-loud moments woven throughout the three hours
• A finished painting you actually want to put on the wall, not stuff in a drawer
• Full setup and packdown by our team so nobody has to lift a finger
• A venue partner with a proper bar and kitchen so food and drinks are sorted

Perfect for hens nights, birthdays and movie buffs

Movie Magic is one of the most-booked themes at Paint Juicy because everyone has a favourite soundtrack moment. The hens night that grew up watching Dirty Dancing. The birthday crew that knows every word to The Greatest Showman. The work team that needs an excuse to belt out Bohemian Rhapsody. We do hens, birthdays, team building, mums groups, baby showers, fundraisers and movie themed Christmas parties. Everything supplied. Maximum pressure to sing badly and laugh too loud.

Coming with a smaller crew? Grab seats at one of our public Movie Magic sessions and join the party. Coming with the whole hens tribe, the work team or a crew of dedicated movie buffs? Book a private Movie Magic session and the whole room is yours. Private bookings start at $700 flat for the first 10 guests and $65 for every guest after that. Minimum 10 paid seats.

For private bookings we can come to your venue, your favourite bar, your local bowls club, even your backyard if there is power and a roof. We bring the whole show. You bring the people and the playlist requests. Custom artwork is available for an additional quoted fee if you want to paint something specific to the group.

Frequently asked questions

Are all the songs from movies?

Every single one. The playlist runs the full three hours and pulls from every era and every genre of film, from Disney and musicals to romcoms, action blockbusters and modern soundtracks.

Can I dress up as my favourite movie character?

Please do. The crowd that dresses for the theme has more fun every single time. Anything goes, from Top Gun aviators to Dorothy from Wizard of Oz to a full Greatest Showman ringmaster outfit. We will not stop you.

Do I need to be able to paint?

Not even a little bit. Our host artist walks you through every brushstroke. People who have never picked up a brush leave with something they are proud of. People who already paint leave with a sore face from laughing. Both win.

How long is a session?

Three hours from start to finish. Long enough to settle in, enjoy a few drinks and properly enjoy the night. Short enough to be home at a reasonable hour.

What is the age policy?

Most public Paint Juicy sessions are 18+ because the venues are licensed and the playlists get cheeky. Some sessions are 12+ with a paying guardian present at all times. Nude life drawing and bottomless sessions are strictly 18+. Check the individual session listing for the exact age policy.

Can I book a private session?

Yes. Private bookings start at $700 flat for the first 10 guests and $65 for every guest after that, with a minimum of 10 paid seats. Get in touch with the date, the rough headcount and the location and we will sort it.

What if I am the only one in my friend group up for it?

Solo guests are super welcome at every Paint Juicy session. Plenty of people come on their own and leave with new mates. The room is friendly, the host is on the mic, and nobody is left in the corner.
