Wands, Wine and Wizardry: A Hogwarts-Inspired Sip & Paint Hits Sandton

Where Joburg’s muggles become magical artists – just for an afternoon

There’s a spell in the air, and this time, it’s floating over Sandton. For one whimsical afternoon only, Hogwarts, Potions & Painting will transform Beer Park into a pop-up school of witchcraft and artistry. Taking place on Sunday, 29 June 2025, from 12pm to 3pm, this immersive Harry Potter-themed event invites Joburgers to trade in the everyday for wine, wands, and wizardly flair.

No need to wait for an owl – consider this your official acceptance letter.

What’s Brewing at Beer Park?

R280 gets you more than just a front-row seat at the easel. Your magical ticket includes:

• A custom “wand” from Olivanders (read: your full set of art supplies)

• Two glasses of “muggle butterbeer” – aka wine

• A guided painting session with magical prompts and potions-style fun

• A Hogwarts House Sorting ceremony kicking off at 12:00 sharp

No prior painting skills or spellcasting credentials needed – just bring your imagination, and maybe your best wizard robes.

Expecto Paintronum: Why Jozi’s Potterheads Are Buzzing

Harry Potter fans across Johannesburg are already getting excited, with early birds taking to Instagram and TikTok to show off their DIY wands and Gryffindor gear. Some are planning full cosplay moments. Others are simply in it for the chance to sip wine while painting a Patronus.

“It’s the Hogwarts art class I dreamed of as a kid,” said one TikTok user, “but now there’s wine. So it’s even better.”

This event isn’t just a novelty – it’s part of a growing movement in Joburg where themed paint nights and nostalgia-fuelled socials are taking centre stage. And when magic meets Merlot? Even better.

Why Beer Park Works Like a Charm

Usually a hub for craft beer lovers and burger munchers, Beer Park Sandton is switching things up with this spellbinding pop-up. With skyline views, relaxed seating, and plenty of space for wizards and wannabe artists alike, it’s the perfect location to host a bit of Hogwarts in the city.

It’s also a sign that Joburg venues are getting creative – turning cult-classic fandoms into immersive, inclusive experiences that people can paint (and drink) their way through.

Sip, Paint, Repeat – It’s More Than Just Fan Service

Yes, it’s themed fun. But it’s also a reminder that Joburgers are craving connection, creativity, and experiences that go beyond the usual lunch-and-drinks formula. Events like this offer low-pressure fun for everyone – whether you’re a die-hard Slytherin or just want something different to do on a Sunday afternoon.

With a limited number of seats and a loyal fandom behind it, Hogwarts, Potions & Painting is expected to sell out fast.

Ready your wand, summon your housemates, and grab your goblet. This one’s bound to be spellbinding.
