Why Scarborough?
Scarborough, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities
Scarborough has been entertaining visitors for over 400 years, and it knows how to do a hen weekend. The town is built around two beautiful bays — North Bay and South Bay — each with its own character, beaches and attractions.
South Bay is the lively heart of Scarborough, with the harbour, amusement arcades, restaurants and bars clustered around the beach. North Bay is quieter, with the castle dominating the headland and Peasholm Park offering a peaceful escape from the crowds.
For hen parties, Scarborough offers variety. You can have a traditional seaside weekend with fish and chips, arcade games and beach walks, while also enjoying excellent restaurants, cocktail bars and a lively evening scene.
The life drawing class fits perfectly into a Scarborough weekend. Your accommodation — whether a seafront hotel, rented house or Airbnb — provides the private space. The Saturday afternoon class is the ideal activity to get the whole group laughing before heading out for the evening.
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 Scarborough 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 Scarborough hens book the class
Scarborough offers a wide range of hen party accommodation. Seafront hotels on South Bay are popular for smaller groups, while larger rented houses in the Falsgrave area and near North Bay work brilliantly for bigger parties. Many of these properties have spacious living rooms with bay views that create a stunning setting for the life drawing class.
The class needs a private space closed off from public view. A hotel suite, a rented house living room or a private function room all work. The model brings all the materials — you just need somewhere for everyone to sit and a firm surface for drawing.
Scarborough is easily accessible by train from York, Leeds and other Yorkshire cities, making it a straightforward destination for hen groups from across the North of England.
