Why London?
London, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities
London is one of the biggest hen party destinations in the UK, and it's not hard to see why. The city has everything: world-class restaurants, rooftop bars, cocktail experiences, spa days, boutique shopping in Shoreditch and Notting Hill, and enough accommodation options to suit every group size and budget.
The sheer variety of London hen parties is what makes a mobile life drawing class such a good fit. Whether you've rented a Shoreditch loft apartment, booked a townhouse in Chelsea, taken a hotel suite near Covent Garden or hired a private dining room in the City, we come to you. The model handles everything, you just need a private room and enough space for the group to sit.
A Saturday afternoon class in your accommodation gives you the perfect launch to an evening out. Get the laughter going, take the group photos, then head out to wherever London takes you.
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 London 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.

What life drawing guests say
Feedback from life drawing guests across the UK.
"We had AJ come to do a life drawing class and he was fantastic from start to finish! From messaging me and arranging a game to surprise with bride with his arrival to drinking games and getting everyone involved! The drawing was just a tiny snippet of the whole experience and everyone had so much fun! He was definitely the highlight of our weekend and I’m so glad we booked! He wasn’t bad to look at either lol! Amazing! I’m tempted to get him back for the wedding party, just not sure if the groom would approve"

"We had such a fun time with Carlos, he made everyone feel really at ease. We booked a life drawing session for a hen do and we were all a bit nervous about what it would be like, but everyone said how much fun it was and how it was the perfect activity – which was all down to Carlos. The games we did after were great and it was well organised. Thank you! I would highly recommend this company, I did quite a bit of research before hand to find the right one and I’m very glad I chose this one!"
