Why Leicester?

Leicester, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities

Leicester is one of the Midlands' best hen party destinations, offering a fantastic combination of diverse restaurants, excellent shopping and a genuinely lively nightlife scene. The city has undergone significant regeneration in recent years and the Cultural Quarter now rivals any in the region.

St Martin's Square and the Lanes area are the heart of Leicester's independent food and drink scene, with cobbled streets and a brilliant atmosphere. The Highcross shopping area and the surrounding streets offer everything from high-street shopping to boutique independent stores. Oadby and Stoneygate have some of the best large group houses in the region.

Leicester is exceptionally well-connected — right on the M1/M69/M6 corridor, with direct trains from London St Pancras in just over an hour, and easy access from Birmingham, Nottingham and the wider Midlands.

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 Leicester 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 Leicester hens book the class

Large Victorian townhouses in Stoneygate and Oadby are the most popular choice for Leicester hen party accommodation. These properties offer generous living spaces, original features and enough bedrooms for groups of 8–14 guests.

City-centre apartments near the Cultural Quarter and St Martin's Square work well for smaller groups who want to be in the middle of the action. The regeneration of the city centre has brought excellent modern apartment buildings with open-plan layouts ideal for a life drawing setup.
