A Personal Hi from Sally and Introduction:

 Hello there, I am the founder of Cheltenham Face Painting – I chose the name for its simplicity – it does what it says – 'face painting' in Cheltenham. Cheltenham is a beautiful area in the Cotswolds, a beautiful Regency Town. We travel to many other areas such as Gloucester, Stroud, Tewkesbury, Wiltshire, Worcestershire, West Midlands and many, many more. All mentioned in areas we cover. Please see link

I originally lived in Birmingham and moved to Cheltenham in 2004. I have a passion for art and anything creative. Most importantly, I am very approachable, have a very professional approach and a strong background in marketing so will help any event be a great success.

In my previous working career, I was very much in the Corporate world.  Running Business centres for a plc London company and responsible for the management and running of three prominent Birmingham City Centre multi purpose Business Centres.  Also managing a team. 

For corporate or local events, we also promote via Facebook and Instagram. On Instagram please check under @sallyannlynchartist and @Cheltfacepaint. We have over 5,800 followers on Facebook for Cheltenham Face Painting. For Sally-Ann Lynch Training Tried & Tested, which is our product and tuition page, we have over 23K followers. On Instagram as of Sept 2026  we have over 11.6K followers. This means we are doing something right.

I started face painting purely for my daughter Daisy who is now 33 and who is part of the Cheltenham Face Painting team. Daisy belonged to a dancing/drama school and performed in many shows where I was asked to do the face painting. I loved it so much that I went and trained in London which proved invaluable. I set up Cheltenham Face Painting in 2007 and as the business grew, I trained others to face paint and our team got bigger and is continuing to grow and evolve.  Daisy now also runs her own successful Art School in the bougie area in Cheltenham, known as The Suffolks.  But more about Daisy below. 

We do not believe in rushing any of the faces we paint and therefore deliver a very high quality and standard – and because of this we get many great Corporate Clients.  These Clients/Customers use us year after year. One of our valued corporate Clients was Cheltenham Racecourse for over 12 years. Others include Daylesford Organic Farm in Moreton in Marsh owned by Lord & Lady Bamford.  Other clients include:  John Lewis, Hazelwood Solicitors, Oasis Events, Little Top Events, Coates Consulting, Stage Coach Performing Arts - Cheltenham/Gloucester/Yate & Thornbuty, GE Aviation, Quinteq,  National Grid, Sudeley Castle, Snowshill Manor, etc.

 Visit our Facebook page to see more details and keep up to date with our events.  We will also post upcoming public events via this page.
