Why St Ives?
St Ives, one of the UK's favourite hen party cities
St Ives is one of Cornwall's most beautiful destinations with white sand beaches, turquoise waters and artists' studio culture creating a uniquely magical atmosphere. The narrow cobbled streets are filled with galleries, independent shops and excellent restaurants.
The coastal path offers spectacular walks with incredible views. Tate St Ives provides cultural options for groups. Accommodation ranges from harbour-view apartments to large seaside houses. The relaxed, creative atmosphere makes it perfect for a hen weekend with a difference.
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 Ives 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 St Ives hens book the class
Most St Ives hen parties book the class at their accommodation. Seafront Airbnbs, beach-view apartments and holiday houses all work brilliantly. The space just needs to be private and big enough for guests to sit and sketch.
Popular accommodation types include seafront apartments with balconies, larger holiday houses for group stays, boutique B&Bs with lounge space and hotel suites. If your accommodation has a sea view, even better.
