For the average punter, the local pub is usually a go-to for budget-friendly steak nights, weekend beers and maybe the odd trivia sesh. But one southside boozer is adding to that list, with a new weekly event designed to get your creative juices flowing just as freely as the tap brews.

The Windsor Castle Hotel has kicked off a new series of Saturday arvo sessions, dubbed the Windsor Art Club, inviting you to indulge your arty side in the beer garden from 1–3pm each weekend. It's free to join in, with all your art and craft materials provided, and a different creative pursuit on the agenda each Saturday. Past sessions have seen folks dabbling in watercolours, having a crack at collage and even getting messy with a grown-up riff on finger painting.

What's more, the participant whose masterpiece is deemed the favourite each week will score themselves a $50 tab to spend in the pub's restaurant or at the bar. How's that for a little extra incentive to let your inner Picasso shine?
