Welcome to Hens with Pens, the home of hen and stag life drawing, if you're looking for a classy & artistic alternative to the traditional cheeky party entertainment then you've come to the right place!
Life drawing, also known as figure drawing, is an artistic practice that involves drawing or sketching the human figure from a nude model with artists gathering to observe and depict the human form using various drawing techniques and materials... here at Hens with Pens we bring this artistic discipline to you with a hint of cheekiness, a lot of fun and you might even learn a little something too!
How does it work? So after booking with our friendly admin team, who are on hand to guide your through the entire process, our team will give you a call the week of the party to say hello and learn a bit about your personalities in the group and any surprises or themes you've got planned so that we can pitch the party accordingly. We've provided life drawing for hen parties for over a decade so you're in safe hands. The party will start with some short pose drawings to get you all used having paper and pencils/charcoal and gradually move into longer poses with some competitive group interaction and also collaborative activities. The events tend to develop a natural flow with your group and we'll work with that to bring out the artist in all of you!
In terms of venue, we can either look at hosting in one of our partner venues - if requested we'll send you a list and their pricing and then we can check their availability and book them for you based upon your choice (this is charged on top of the prices above and we include £50 venue admin fee) or we can come to any venue of your choosing as long as it's secluded from public viewing. Your hotel is usually a good place to start some will charge you a room hire fee and some won't as you'll be using their bar so it really comes down to you asking them but we can supply PL insurance doc to them if required.
Our hen, stag & birthday party life drawing events run all across the UK: Bath, Bristol & South West of England to Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Chester, York, London, Brighton, Norwich, Bournemouth, Edinburgh & Glasgow.. you name it we're there! Delighting mixed groups of age & gender with our own brand of cheeky party fun tailored to your groups needs.
Give your hen do a clucking marvellous twist!
