Grab your wand and summon your Patronus because the UAE is set to undergo a magical makeover this October. Wizards, witches and even you, dear Muggles, get ready for a Harry Potter painting brunch that promises to be even more enchanting than a trip to Diagon Alley. Design & Dine, the masterminds behind the UAE’s most popular painting nights, have waved their wands and conjured up an experience that combines art, food and a dash of Hogwarts magic.

Magic, mimosas and masterpieces at the Harry Potter Paint Brunch

This is no ordinary brunch though. Imagine sipping a magic potion (don’t worry, it’s just a cleverly disguised drink) while channelling your inner Van Gogh with a paintbrush in hand. Don’t panic if your artistic skills are as rusty as a house elf’s sock, as the on-site experts will show you every stroke and ensure that your creation rivals even the best work of the Hogwarts art department (if such a thing even exists).

Where art meets appetite

While you paint, you can expect your taste buds to be as entertained as your inner artist. The evening features a full Harry Potter-themed painting brunch, with themed food and drinks that would make even Snape smile. We’re talking potion-based drinks served in test tubes, mystical concoctions that might have you casting spells by the end of the night, and a feast that would be the envy of the Great Hall.

But the magic doesn’t end there. Your outfit isn’t just for fun—it’s your ticket to glory. Since there are prizes for the best costumes, you’ll want to put on your finest robes, straighten your Gryffindor tie, and maybe practice a few spells (just in case). And as if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a competition for the best artwork, so make sure your paintbrush is as sharp as your wand.

Diploma

With dates set for October 4 in Dubai and October 11 in Abu Dhabi, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re a diehard Potterhead or just in it for the food and fun, this Harry Potter Colour Brunch will be the highlight of the season. Tickets will disappear faster than a golden snitch, so keep your eyes peeled and your wands ready. In a world where magic is real, at least for one night, who wouldn’t want to be part of this mesmerising experience?
