Carlisle's newest café and bar will open its doors this weekend.

Sketch and Sip, based in Carlyle's Court, will finally launch on Saturday after months of hard work spent turning the space into an artist's dream. 

On the opening day, there will be fun activities, delicious food and drinks, as well as an opportunity to just relax with friends.

They will be serving up bubble waffles with customisable toppings, a wide variety of teas and coffee, as well as creative cocktails inspired by art.

Customers can pick up ready packs for activities like crochet, foam clay, glass painting and more, or alternatively they can make use of the paint station to create their own masterpiece.

Sketch and Sip will be open from 10am on October 26.
