Why Nerang is the Gold Coast paint and sip secret

If you live and work the Gold Coast, you already know Nerang is the suburb where things get done. Sitting at the foot of the hinterland, with the Nerang River running through, the Gold Coast Mountain Bike Park up the road, and the highway easy to reach, Nerang is the suburb that locals choose when they want a night out without the parking nightmare and the tourist crush of Surfers Paradise. The Nerang RSL, the Glennon Park area, the local pubs and clubs, the Carrara markets just up the road. Everything you need within a short drive, and a community that turns up properly when something good is on.

Paint Juicy in Nerang is one of those things. We bring the whole show, set up at a partner venue, run the three-hour singalong-fuelled paint and sip experience, and the locals turn up ready. Nerang sessions sit in a sweet spot. Big enough to feel like a proper night out. Small enough to feel like everyone in the room is in on it together. Convenient enough that you do not need to plan a logistics mission to get there.

What is in a Nerang session

• An artist hosting live with a mic, leading the entire room through the painting
• Every seat ready before you arrive, with paint, brushes, easel, canvas and apron
• A playlist locked to the theme, ready to fill the room
• Three hours of singalongs, trivia and proper Gold Coast hinterland energy
• A finished canvas to drive home up the hinterland or down to the coast
• We bring the gear, we set up, we run the night, we pack it down
• A licensed Nerang partner venue with the food and drinks side handled

Hens parties, work crews and locals' birthdays

Nerang sits in the sweet spot for Gold Coast locals planning a hens party or a milestone birthday who want to skip the Surfers Paradise circus. Easy to get to from anywhere on the coast. Easy to get home from. Easy to combine with a daytime activity in the hinterland (think Tamborine Mountain wineries, the rainforest walks, the Mountain Bike Park) and a big finish at a Paint Juicy session in the evening. Coming as a smaller crew? Join one of our public Nerang sessions. Coming as a hens tribe of 12, a work team of 30, or a milestone birthday of 40? A private booking puts the whole room on you with a starting price of $700 flat for the first 10 guests and $65 per guest after that.

Nerang paint and sip questions

Where in Nerang is the session?

We work with a Nerang partner venue and the exact venue is listed on the individual session page when a date is on the calendar. Plenty of parking and easy hinterland-to-coast access.

How does Nerang compare to a Burleigh or Surfers session?

Same Paint Juicy show, different room. Nerang sessions sit in a sweet spot for Gold Coast locals who want a night out without the tourist crush. Burleigh and Surfers run more often but Nerang has its own loyal local crowd and a properly different vibe.

Can I book a private Nerang session for a hens party?

Yes. Hens parties are one of the most-booked private session types in Nerang. Get in touch with the date, the rough headcount and the location and we will sort it.
