Woody Adds Colour To Patterns

Monday night saw Woody's Colour In Monday Club move to Patterns in Brighton!   Big pencils, super-sized colouring-in sheets and the coolest colourists were all in the mix. "Patterns is my new favourite bar" says Woody "And it's a perfect match with Colour In Monday Club - the interior is beautifully designed.  There's loads of natural light and the best tunes to inspire our after-work colourists." Woody's Colour In Monday Club continues every Monday in July up at Patterns 6-8pm... SEE MORE arrow-right
