Neon Naked Hen Party Life Drawing in London 5 star review!
Looking for a hen party that's creative, funny and a little bit different?
Neon Naked Life Drawing has been hosting hen parties in London for years, with around 50 hen parties joining us every year. From small groups of friends to big celebrations, queer hens, mixed groups, plus mums, friends and family — we welcome all kinds of hen parties.
But don't just take our word for it...
What our hen parties say:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“We did this for a hen party and it was so much fun! The model was amazing, really fun and friendly and Jylle led us through lots of fun different drawing techniques. This really took the pressure off and made sure everyone enjoyed it regardless of artistic ability. Really recommend.”— Kiah, Google Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“The event was the icebreaker we needed to start our day! The host and model made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Lots of poses and activities to keep the atmosphere energised whilst drinking cocktails.”— Cat Nicholas, Google Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Organised for a friend’s hen do and had a fantastic time, great venue, friendly staff, lovely memories and some artwork of questionable quality (only ourselves to blame for that one) as keepsakes.”— Elis, Google Review
And it's not just hens. We also welcome stag parties and mixed groups:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“We had such a fun time. Jylle (the tutor) and the models were all really friendly and welcoming and made everyone feel completely at ease.”— Nazar Miheisi, Google Review
One thing that comes through again and again in our reviews is that you don't need to be an artist. Our sessions are broken down into lots of short drawing exercises, poses and techniques, so everyone can join in without the pressure of producing a perfect drawing.
And yes, there will probably be some questionable artwork to take home.
Hen Party Life Drawing FAQs
What happens at a Neon Naked hen party?
Our life drawing classes are fun, relaxed and beginner-friendly. Jylle takes you through a series of short drawing exercises, poses and different techniques, with our model changing poses throughout the session.
There's plenty of time for chatting, laughing and enjoying a drink, while still getting stuck into the drawing.
It's as much a social experience as it is an art class.
Do we need to be good at drawing?
Absolutely not.
Everyone can draw. That's one of the main ideas behind Neon Naked.
You don't need any previous experience, and our different exercises are designed to take the pressure off and help everyone get involved — whatever their artistic ability.
Can we book a private hen party?
Yes.
Private hire is available and is particularly popular for hen parties who want the class entirely to themselves.
Our private-hire pricing is different from our £17pp public ticketed classes and depends on the date, venue, group and requirements.
Private hire usually has a minimum booking of 12 paid places. So if you have 10 people, for example, you can still have a private class by paying the minimum of 12 places.
Get in touch with your date, group size and requirements and we can give you the exact price.
Can we just join a public class?
Yes — and this is often the best option for smaller groups.
Our regular ticketed classes are £17 per person, and we usually run Saturday afternoon sessions at venues such as the Old Queen's Head in Angel and Toulouse Lautrec in Kennington.
Our usual Saturday times are:
1pm–2:30pm & 3pm–4:30pm
If you're booking a hen party onto a public class, let us know when you book. We can sometimes accommodate requests for a particular model type, depending on availability.
Can we choose a male or female model?
Yes with private hire! With public groups best to get in touch in advance.
Our models can be male or female, and if you have a preference, just let us know when you enquire.
We regularly have male models at weekend classes, particularly during hen-party season, but availability varies by date.
Are the models nude?
They can be, but they don't have to be. This is also depended on the models personal preference.
We can offer nude life drawing as well as non-nude, underwear, costume or themed modelling, depending on what you're looking for.
If you have a specific preference, tell us when you book and we'll discuss the options available for your date.
Can we have a themed hen party?
Yes!
We can create a themed Neon Naked experience around your group.
Our UV aesthetic works particularly well with colourful, fun and slightly outrageous themes, but we're happy to discuss your ideas and see what we can create.
If there's something specific you're planning for the bride, let us know.
How many people can we bring?
Pretty much any size group can work.
For small groups, joining one of our public classes is usually the simplest option.
For larger groups, private hire can be a great way to keep everyone together and create a more personalised experience.
Our private-hire minimum is normally 12 paid places. Maximum in our regular venues are on average 40 people.
When do you run hen parties?
We get hen parties throughout the year, although April and May are particularly busy.
Saturday afternoons are our most popular times, with regular classes at 1pm and 3pm.
If you'd like a private class, a specific model or a particular theme, we recommend booking well in advance.
Can you do a private class on a Friday night or Saturday evening?
We can arrange private sessions at different times and can also look at coming to your own venue.
However, Friday evenings and Saturday nights can be more difficult because venues are generally much busier and often charge higher hire rates. This can make evening private hire more expensive than a Saturday afternoon session.
Can you come to our venue?
For private hire, we can look at bringing Neon Naked to your chosen venue, provided the space is suitable for life drawing and the venue allows the type of event you're planning.
If you already have a venue booked, tell us the location and we'll see what we can arrange.
Is it suitable if some people don't know each other?
Definitely.
In fact, this is one of the reasons life drawing works so well for hen parties.
One of our recent five-star reviews described the experience as “the icebreaker we needed to start our day.”
The short exercises, group atmosphere and slightly ridiculous nature of trying to draw a live model together tend to get people talking very quickly.
Is it safe and welcoming?
Yes. Making people feel comfortable is extremely important to us.
Our reviews regularly mention how welcoming and relaxed the atmosphere is, and we want everyone to feel able to participate without pressure.
You can be as silly, creative or terrible at drawing as you like.
How much does a Neon Naked hen party cost?
Our regular public ticketed classes are £17 per person.
Private hire is priced separately and can vary depending on the date, venue, group size, model and any additional requirements.
The easiest way to get an accurate quote is to send us:
Your preferred date
Number of guests
Preferred time
Whether you'd like public or private hire
Any model preference
Whether you'd like a theme
We'll then let you know the available options and price.
How do I book?
You can join one of our regular ticketed classes through NeonNaked.com, or contact us directly if you'd like to discuss private hire.
If you're planning a hen party, the earlier you get in touch, the more options we'll have for venues, models, dates and themes.
Come for the life drawing. Stay for the questionable artwork.
