Wine n Design’ creative event set for June 28 at Hibiscus Restaurant

Couples and friends looking for a relaxed and creative outing will gather at the Hibiscus Restaurant & Lounge on Saturday, 28 June 2025, for the second edition of Wine n Design, a social event that blends art and leisure.

Hosted by Waypoint, the event offers attendees the chance to sip wine while engaging in artistic activities in a casual, welcoming setting. Organiser Savitri Basdeo told the News Room the event has already sold out.

“It’s a creative and relaxing experience where our guests sip on wine while exploring their artistic side,” Basdeo said in a telephone interview. “It’s all about self-expression and a great atmosphere.”

The event runs from 16:00 to 19:00 hrs and includes unlimited wine, snacks, giveaways, flower pots and design supplies, soil, and a starter kit. The clay pots were sourced from a small business based in Wakenaam, Region Three.

Basdeo, who first hosted the event in 2024, said the positive feedback from participants encouraged her to organise another. She emphasised that no artistic skills are required to take part.

“The idea is to create a cosy alternative for people who want a night out without the typical bar scene,” she said. “Sometimes you just want to unwind with friends and do something fun, but low-key.”

Last year’s event featured tote bags as the design medium. This year, the focus shifted to flower pots, and Basdeo said she is already planning a Christmas-themed edition for December.

Tickets are priced at GY$10,000.
