Hen Party Life Drawing Worcester
Worcester is a small cathedral city, and many hen groups who pick it don’t stay in it at all. They rent a converted barn or farmhouse between the Severn and the Malvern Hills and come into town for one night, if that. Life drawing suits that weekend because it turns up at the door, however long the farm track is.
What turns up at the door
- A male life model, on his own, who doubles as a Butler in the Buff
- Pencils, sharpeners, rubbers and A4 paper, enough for 20 people
- Three or four nude poses spread over 45 minutes of drawing, led by him as there’s no tutor
- A change into butler attire, then 45 minutes of serving drinks, hosting games and group photos
- A verdict on the best drawing, delivered by the model
What doesn’t turn up is anything to lean on, so gather trays and hardback books, or use the kitchen table. Pricing is from £15 per person, calculated on a party of 20 or fewer, and total beginners are fine.
Barns, farmhouses and cottages outside the city
Converted barns are a common choice in Worcestershire, and they’re good for drawing. The main room is normally one big open space, so a circle of chairs round a model fits easily. Check two things. There is often a full-height glazed opening where the cart doors were, and it may face a courtyard shared with other lets, so make sure it has curtains. Stone floors are cold, and he’ll be standing on yours with nothing on, so put the heating on early.
Cottages are the opposite: cosy rooms, low doors, not much floor. In Worcester itself it’s mostly riverside apartments and terraced houses, where blinds go down on the street side and a bedroom is set aside for him to change in.
Places he comes out to
The model comes out to wherever you’re staying. Hallow, Powick, Kempsey, Ombersley, Droitwich Spa, Great Malvern, Pershore and Upton upon Severn are all covered.
He also comes to Hereford, Ludlow and the Cotswold villages around Broadway. Type the barn’s postcode into the instant quote and it will show the price.
Staying in for the evening
Out in the countryside the class can be the whole evening’s entertainment. In that case the £50 extension is worth having: it takes the class from 90 minutes to two hours, so the drawing and the butler service get a full hour each.
If you are going into Worcester, Friar Street and New Street have plenty of restaurants and bars in a short stretch. Order the taxi for at least an hour after the class is due to end, since the model may be running late.
The rest is explained under hen party life drawing on the main site.
Worcester Life Drawing: Quick Answers
Our barn is down an unmarked track with poor phone signal. How will he find us?
Send clear directions when you book, and on the day put a phone somewhere it gets reception. He’ll ring a little before the start and once more on arrival.
The barn shares a courtyard with two other holiday lets. Does that rule it out?
No, provided the curtains or blinds on the courtyard side are closed while he poses. The room itself just has to be out of other people’s sight.
Our farmhouse sleeps 26 and every bed is taken. Can one model manage that?
Groups over 20 are possible on request. Materials are supplied for 20 as standard, and each extra guest is £5 for theirs.
