Why Colchester?
Colchester, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities
Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town and offers a surprisingly vibrant hen party scene. The city centre has excellent shopping, a brilliant selection of restaurants and a buzzing nightlife. Castle Park provides a beautiful green space in the heart of the city.
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 Colchester 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.
