Finding a group activity that everyone kind of enjoys, like for real can be tricky. Some people love art stuff, others just want to laugh, let loose, and make a bit of a mess with their friends. Splasherist sort of solves that whole thing in one go, somehow. It’s the UK’s rage painting studio designed for exactly this sort of shared, unfiltered fun with no real artistic skill needed, just colour, canvas, and a touch of controlled chaos, or maybe not so controlled.
With studios in Bath, Bristol, and Worcester, Splasherist has become the go-to place for birthdays, hen dos, corporate dayouts, date nights, and family outings all over the region. Here’s a quick look at the creative group activities on offer, and why they work so well.
What Exactly Is Rage Painting?
Rage painting flips the whole idea of a standard art class. Instead of slow, careful brushstrokes and this calm little focus, you are basically pushed to toss, fling, spray, and pour paint onto a canvas—sometimes also onto the walls, and yes, even on each other. It is part art session, part stress release thing, kinda like a rage room in spirit, except afterwards you walk away with a really one of a kind abstract artwork that is actually yours to take home.
No experience is needed either. You get full protective gear handed to you, including overalls , gloves, goggles or a face shield, and anti-slip shoe covers. So really the only thing you have to bring is your energy (and your own drinks), since every session is BYOB, every time.
The Group Experiences on Offer
Splasherist has put together a set of experiences made to match different group moods, like yeah, basically what you’re feeling when you walk in:
Splasherist Experience (£35pp) the original, kind of self-guided thing. Fifty minutes in a private studio, to throw paint at a blank canvas, with no rules , just do your thing.
VIP Splasherist Experience (£49pp) same private self-guided setup but with bottomless pait and a larger canvas, for groups that want to really commit.
Neon & Splash (£39pp) a UV lit glow in the dark spin on the classic session, great for a more energetic crowd , you know, the ones that won’t sit still.
Splash & Gong (£49pp) a guided, calming workshop where singing bowls and gongs keep the rhythm, while you paint, all under UV lighting , also pretty soothing.
Splash & String (£65pp) a relaxed, self guided public workshop, with a live cello keeping it moving, plus a UV lighting section halfway through, so it changes vibe.
All sessions come with full PPE, a canvas, and paint, and each studio has its own speaker so your group can run their own playlist while they paint.
Rage Painting in Bath
Splasherist’s original studio is kinda based at 12 Widcombe Parade in Bath, and thats where the whole concept really got going. The Bath space can fit up to 16 participants down below and 10 upstairs so it stays flexible, for small meetups as well as bigger group bookings. It is wheelchair accessible too, there’s free one hour parking nearby and it is a straightforward central place to do a birthday party, hen do, or team outing in the city.
Rage Painting in Bristol
The Bristol studio, sitting at Willway Yard, is Splasherist’s biggest space and it has room for up to 26 participants at once. So it’s really a solid pick for larger corporate events, bigger birthday groups, or those kind of celebrations where you kinda want everyone painting together, at the same time. It also comes with complimentary private on site parking, wheelchair access, and even a 20% deposit option, which helps with getting a larger booking sorted.
Rage Painting in Worcester
Splasherist’s Midlands studio is based at 2 New Street in Worcester and, to be honest, it feels more private, a little like tucked in somewhere. The place holds up to 15 participants at a time which makes it good for smaller friend groups, family get-togethers, or even work teams trying to do something slightly different, not the usual run. There is also reduced mobility access right on site, plus a pay and display car park only about two minutes away.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Since the whole format is kind of loud , messy and totally judgement-free, Splasherist tends to click for almost any sort of group get together, like
birthday parties
corporate events and team days
hen parties, and stag dos
date nights
family time
educational trips
and extra bits like neon paint glitter metallic paint larger canvases shaped canvases can be thrown in at checkout so the whole session feels even more personal.
Why Groups Keep Coming Back
Splasherist has already run over 5,000 sessions across its three studios , and it holds a five-star reputation for good reason. Guests keep mentioning basically the same points, welcoming energetic hosts, the ability to bring their own music and drinks, and the novelty of walking out with a canvas that actually captures the exact chaos and fun from that day. Each canvas is one-of-a-kind too , because no two rage painting sessions ever seem the same.
Ready to Get Messy?
Whether you’re planning some kind of big celebration in Bristol, a central get together in Bath, or a smaller creative ramble in Worcester, Splasherist has group activity that’s honestly a bit more different than the typical dinner and drinks routine. There’s no real skills, no expectations exactly, just colour , canvas, and a room full of folks letting loose, side by side.
