Imagine a night where art meets party, where you can sip wine, laugh with friends, and create a glowing masterpiece—all in a vibrant, club-like atmosphere. That’s exactly what the Glow-in-the-Dark Drink & Paint Experience at The Art Hub Malta promises. We’ve taken a close look at this lively activity to give you an honest, detailed review of what you can expect from this two-hour adventure.
This experience is perfect for those seeking something playful and memorable, whether you’re flying solo, celebrating with friends, or planning a fun date night. From the moment you step into the dark room illuminated by UV black lights, you’ll feel the electric energy.
