Exciting news!!

We’re excited to introduce Golden Brush our new miniature painting competition at Longrest!

We’re kicking things off with our Christmas Edition, and we’d love to see what you all come up with.

Whether you’re into Warhammer, D&D, RPG miniatures or just enjoy painting little figures, everyone is welcome to take part. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been painting for years or you’re just getting started.

You’ll have all of November to paint your miniature, with entries needing to be dropped off at Longrest by 1st December.

Throughout December, we’ll have the entries on display in the café, where our customers can vote for their favourites.

Winners will be announced on 20th December, with some mega prizes up for grabs!

1st Place: £50 Longrest voucher and coveted GOLDEN BRUSH Trophy!
2nd Place: £25 Longrest voucher
3rd Place: £10 Longrest voucher

The theme is all things Christmas, winter and magic! you’re welcome to enter a miniature from any game or setting.

We’re hoping to make Golden Brush a regular thing at Longrest, with different editions throughout the year.

So dig out that mini you’ve been meaning to paint, tackle something from your pile of shame, or try something completely new.

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
