Why Chester?
Chester, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities
Chester is one of the most beautiful cities in the North West, with its well-preserved Roman walls, distinctive black-and-white Tudor buildings and a genuinely excellent social scene that makes it a popular choice for hen parties.
The Northgate Quarter and Watergate Street are the heart of Chester's nightlife, with a brilliant concentration of bars, restaurants and historic pubs. The Grosvenor shopping area offers some of the best retail therapy outside Manchester. Chester Racecourse adds another dimension for race-weekend hen parties.
Chester is well-connected — about 45 minutes from Manchester and Liverpool by train, with easy access from North Wales and the wider North West.
The Activity
Why life drawing works for hen parties
Life drawing is one of the most popular hen party activities in the UK because it combines creativity with laughter and a touch of cheekiness — without needing guests to have any drawing skill whatsoever.
The format is simple. A professional male model arrives at your Chester accommodation, sets up the materials and guides the group through a relaxed sketching session. No artistic ability is required — the drawings are funny, not gallery-worthy. The model uses a series of entertaining poses, and the group sketches away with pencils and paper provided.
After 45 minutes of drawing, the model switches into mini butler mode — serving your drinks, posing for photos, judging the artwork and running light party games. This second half is often the highlight: photos of your group with the butler, prize-giving for the best (and worst) drawings, and plenty of laughter before you head out for the evening.
The class works for groups of all sizes and personalities. It is inclusive, requires no special preparation from guests, and takes just 1.5 hours — fitting easily into a hen weekend itinerary. It is also entirely mobile: the model brings everything and comes to your accommodation, meaning you do not need to travel anywhere or coordinate venue logistics during the weekend.

Where to Book
Where Chester hens book the class
Period townhouses in the Hoole area and around the city walls are the most popular choice for Chester hen parties. These properties offer character and space in a beautiful historic setting.
City-centre apartments near the Northgate Quarter and the racecourse work well for smaller groups who want to be in the middle of the action. The surrounding Cheshire countryside also has some excellent large country houses for bigger groups.
