Life drawing classes have become one of the most popular hen party activities in the UK — and it’s easy to see why. They’re cheeky, creative, and a guaranteed icebreaker for groups who want to start the celebrations with plenty of laughs. But if you’ve never been to one, you might be wondering: What actually happens at a life drawing class?
At Hunky Butler Service, our life drawing sessions are led by a single person — your charming, professional Hunky Butler. He’s both your model and your host, guiding the whole experience from start to finish. You’ll get to sketch him in a variety of fun poses, enjoy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and make memories (and drawings!) you’ll keep forever.
Whether you’re planning a hen do in Liverpool, Manchester, London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, or anywhere else in the UK, we bring the party to you — hotel, apartment, home, or hired venue. Let’s break down exactly what to expect.
What Is a Life Drawing Class?
Life drawing is the art of sketching a live model — traditionally in an art studio, but for hen parties it’s a whole lot more fun. Forget the quiet, serious art classes you might imagine. With Hunky Butler Service, your life drawing session is lighthearted, cheeky, and tailored to your group.
Your butler will pose for you in various outfits (or lack thereof!), making sure everyone feels comfortable. No artistic skills are required — the goal is laughter, creativity, and a memorable shared experience.
What Happens During the Session?
1. Your Butler Greets the Group
Your butler will arrive at your chosen venue ready to entertain. He’ll introduce himself, set a playful but respectful tone, and explain how the session will run. This is your chance to grab a drink, settle in, and get your pencils ready.
2. Warm-Up Sketches
You’ll start with a few quick sketches — maybe 30–60 seconds each — to loosen up your hand and get the giggles going. These warm-ups are a great icebreaker for guests who haven’t met before.
3. Main Poses
Your butler will strike a variety of poses, from traditional standing positions to more creative and humorous ones. Each pose lasts longer so you can add details and really capture the moment.
4. Final Group Sketch & Photo
The session usually ends with everyone sketching the same final pose before gathering for a group photo with your butler. It’s the perfect keepsake for your hen party album.
Who Books Life Drawing Classes?
While hen parties are the most popular reason to book, life drawing classes are also perfect for:
Birthday parties – a cheeky alternative to the standard night out
Corporate events – a fun icebreaker for creative teams
Girls’ nights in – add some laughs to a weekend with friends
Celebrations – anniversaries, reunions, or “just because”
What Should You Bring and Wear?
You don’t need much — we provide all the drawing materials. Just bring yourself, your sense of humour, and maybe a drink or two. Most guests wear casual, comfortable clothes, but don’t be afraid to dress up if you want photos that pop on your Instagram feed.
Tips to Make the Most of Your Life Drawing Session
Loosen up early – the more you laugh, the better the sketches turn out.
Don’t stress about your art skills – everyone’s drawings will look different, and that’s part of the fun.
Take plenty of photos – but keep them tasteful and respectful.
Pair it with another activity – like our Cocktail Masterclass or Buff Butlers for a full evening of entertainment.
