WHAT IS THE PAINT RIOT?
The Paint Riot is an interactive art studio in Cambridge where you can splatter, squirt, and sling paint in a safe, mess-friendly space. It’s all about creativity without the pressure — or the cleanup.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
DO I NEED TO BE "ARTISITC" TO COME?
Absolutely not. This is about self-expression, fun, and mess — not fine art. Whether you’re a pro or haven’t picked up a brush in years, you’ll have a blast.
IS IT KID-FRIENDLY?
Totally! We allow participants 5 years and older. Most of our sessions are great for all ages, though younger kids will enjoy Mini Mayhem or sensory options best. We also have adult-only sessions available.
DO YOU HAVE FOOD AND DRINKS AVAILABLE?
We know that a creative brain can't work at 100% without snacks! We have lots of different snacks and drinks available to purchase and unlimited coffee, tea, and water FREE when you come in for your session.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We provide full protective gear including coveralls, shoe covers, and goggles — but we always recommend wearing something you’re not afraid to get paint on just in case.

SAFETY GEAR
IS THE PAINT SAFE?
Yes! We use non-toxic, washable paint that’s safe for skin and easy to rinse off.
CAN I BRING MY OWN GEAR?
Absolutely! As long as you know the potential risks of ruining (or improving) your favourite pair of shoes or the shirt you borrowed from your BFF, by all means, wear what makes you comfortable.
WILL THE PAINT STAIN?
Skin? No. Clothing? There is a chance. So even though you will be covered for the most part, we cannot guarantee you won't find a few splatters here and there when you leave.
