Why Devon?
Devon, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities
Devon offers one of the most diverse settings for a hen party in the UK. From the surf beaches of North Devon around Croyde and Saunton Sands, to the picturesque harbour towns of South Devon — Dartmouth, Salcombe and Kingsbridge — there's a Devon that suits every kind of group.
Exeter makes a great city-break base with its cathedral quarter, independent restaurants and lively student-area nightlife. For groups who want to be closer to nature, large holiday cottages on Dartmoor or the South Hams combine space, beautiful scenery and peace that's hard to find anywhere else.
Devon is well-connected — Exeter has direct trains from London Paddington (just over 2 hours), and the county is easily driveable from Bristol, Somerset and the South 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 Devon 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 Devon hens book the class
Large holiday cottages and farmhouses are the most popular choice for Devon hen parties, particularly in the South Hams and around Dartmoor. These typically have generous living rooms and kitchen diners that work well for a life drawing setup, plus gardens and outdoor spaces for good weather.
For city-based groups, Exeter has a good range of apartments and townhouses in the cathedral quarter and St Leonard's area. Salcombe and Dartmouth have boutique accommodation for smaller groups who want a luxury feel. Book well ahead for summer and peak bank holiday weekends.
