The monthly event, Design & Dine is celebrating its one-year anniversary this February. Hosted by artist Gemma Gallagher, participants are taken through the basic skills of painting, whilst also enjoying dinner. It is a novel concept and a very popular one. In February, guests will learn how to paint the Abu Dhabi skyline step by step, as they enjoy a delicious selection of beverages along with hot Italian cuisine. It is the perfect way to try your hand at painting in a relaxed environment and, for the special birthday event, there will be cupcakes for all guests and a raffle to win prizes.

* Design & Dine takes place on February 9 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Abu Dhabi
