Lancaster life drawing starts from
£260 per session
Around 90 minutes, with a professional male model, all art materials, games, photos and mobile setup included. A £20 deposit confirms your date.
It's beginner-friendly and light-hearted. We bring the model, the materials and the setup; your group provides the venue, with the owner's permission, seating and any drinks you'd like served.

The Experience Explained
What Is a Hen Party Life Drawing Session?
A hen party life drawing session is an entertainment-led group experience — not a formal art class. A professional male model poses for your group to sketch, then hosts across the session, serving drinks you've provided, running light-hearted drawing games and taking group photos.
No one needs any drawing ability, and there's no formal tuition to keep up with.
The focus is on laughter and a relaxed, playful atmosphere, with the sketching as the icebreaker. If your group wants gentle prompts and pose ideas, the host provides them; if you'd rather just enjoy the drawing socially, that works too.
On the Day
What Happens During the Session
A Lancaster session lasts around 90 minutes and flows as a mix of drawing and hosting rather than two rigid halves. Your group sketches the model through a series of poses, with games between poses, drinks served, and group photos towards the end. The pace is relaxed and led by your host.
Drawing and games
Your group sketches the model through a series of poses while the host keeps things moving with easy drawing games. Boards, paper and pencils are handed out, and there's no pressure to produce anything “good” — most of the fun is comparing everyone's efforts afterwards.
Drinks, hosting and photos
Alongside the drawing, the host serves the drinks your group has provided, runs party games and takes group photos so you've got something to remember the day by. Photography happens with your group's consent and around the hosting rather than during posing.
Planning Made Simple
What's Included — and What Your Group Provides
Knowing exactly what turns up, and what doesn't, makes planning far easier.
Buff Boyz provides
- A professional male life model who also hosts the session.
- Sketchpads, pencils and drawing boards.
- Light-hearted drawing games.
- Group photos.
- Full setup and pack-down at your venue.
Your group provides
- The venue — and permission from the owner, hotel or host to run the session there.
- Any drinks, mixers and glassware you'd like served during the session.
- Enough clear space for everyone to sit comfortably around the model.
- Seating, which most Airbnbs, cottages and function rooms already have.
Optional add-ons
- Cocktail making or a second butler are available as add-ons, priced separately.
Possible travel costs
- A travel charge may apply for venues outside our standard coverage — where it does, it's always shown in your quote before you pay the deposit.
Best For
Is Life Drawing Right for Your Hen Group?
Complete beginners
Sessions are built for people who've never drawn before, so it doesn't matter if you've never picked up a pencil. The games and prompts do the work.
Quieter or reserved guests
Not everyone in a hen group wants to be centre of attention, and that's fine. Quieter guests can take part at their own pace — sketching without being singled out, and joining the games as much or as little as they like. It tends to be one of the easier icebreakers for a mixed group who don't all know each other.
Age and group size
Every guest must be 18 or over — this is a firm booking condition. Life drawing works for most hen groups, usually from around six guests up to about 20, with larger groups accommodated by arrangement depending on your venue's space. Tell us your numbers when you enquire and we'll confirm what works.
Accessibility
If anyone in your group has accessibility or mobility needs, let us know when you enquire and we'll advise what's workable at your chosen venue.
Venue Requirements
Lancaster Venue and Space Requirements
Because we come to you, the right space matters more than the exact address.
Airbnbs and holiday cottages
Self-catering properties often work well — you get privacy and room to spread out. A lounge or open-plan living area with seating for the group is usually all you need.
Hotels and private function rooms
Hotels work too, provided the room is private and the venue is happy to host the activity. If you're booking a function room, mention the session type when you reserve it.
Permission, seating, privacy and access
Before your date, check that the space is genuinely private and that the venue owner or manager has agreed to the activity. We arrive ahead of your start time to set up, so straightforward access for unloading helps things run smoothly.
Before You Enquire
Planning a Lancaster Session: Practical Points
When you enquire, a few practical details help us quote accurately and plan setup:
- A private indoor room with clear floor space and seating around the model.
- Venue-owner or hotel approval, confirmed before you book.
- The full venue postcode, so we can quote accurately — including any travel charge for outlying or rural locations such as the Lune Valley.
- Any parking or unloading restrictions, so setup runs to time.
For venue and area ideas across the district, the Visit Lancashire tourism guide is a useful starting point.

This is different again from Lancaster's public drop-in life drawing, which is a fixed-venue art session rather than a private hen-party experience that comes to you.
Many groups combine two — an “Art & Cocktails” pairing is one option. Just tell us what you're after and we'll quote the combination.

Helpful Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Does everyone need to be 18 or over?
Yes. Every guest attending must be 18 or over — it's a firm booking condition.
