Hen Party Life Drawing in Newcastle

Newcastle has a reputation as one of the UK's great nights out, and a hen weekend here more than lives up to it. The Quayside's bars and restaurants, the Grey Street cocktail scene, the Jesmond café culture and the Electric Wharf development in Ouseburn all give different flavours of what Newcastle does well.

But Newcastle hen weekends aren't just about the night out. The daytime in the city is genuinely excellent — the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art across the Millennium Bridge in Gateshead, the Sunday food market at the Quayside, the independent shops in Jesmond. It's a proper city to spend a full weekend in.

For life drawing, Newcastle's city centre apartments and Quayside flats work very well. Open-plan layouts, good light and a relaxed atmosphere that suits the class perfectly. The energy of a Newcastle group going into a Saturday night is exactly the kind of energy that makes the session memorable.

Quayside apartments are the most popular accommodation choice for Newcastle hen parties. The riverside location, the views of the Tyne bridges and the proximity to bars and restaurants make them the obvious choice. Modern apartments in the Quayside and Ouseburn areas tend to have open-plan layouts that work well for life drawing.

Jesmond townhouses and Victorian terraces are a popular alternative for groups who want a more residential feel. They're typically more spacious, with larger living rooms and gardens, and still only a short taxi ride from the city centre.

For bigger groups, party houses in Gosforth and South Gosforth offer more bedrooms and living space than city centre apartments, which is often the priority for larger hen parties.
