Why St Andrews?
St Andrews, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities
St Andrews is famous for golf, but hen parties quickly discover there is so much more to this beautiful Fife town. The beaches are spectacular — West Sands stretches for miles. The town centre is a maze of historic streets filled with independent shops, cosy cafes and excellent restaurants.
The university gives St Andrews a lively, youthful energy. There are great pubs, cocktail bars and restaurants that cater well to group bookings. The town is compact and walkable, which means everything is within easy reach for a hen weekend.
For the life drawing class, St Andrews accommodation is ideal. Large townhouses, seaside Airbnbs and boutique hotels all provide the private space needed. The class fits perfectly into a Saturday afternoon, breaking up the day between morning sightseeing and evening celebrations.
St Andrews also has a magical quality that makes hen weekends feel special. The castle ruins, the cathedral remains and the views across the North Sea create a backdrop that is genuinely unique.
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 St Andrews 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.
