Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book hen party activities?+
For popular activities like life drawing, we recommend booking 2-3 months in advance, especially for weekend dates in summer. However, last-minute bookings are sometimes possible - just get in touch to check availability.
What if some guests don't want to do the activity?+
That's totally fine! For life drawing, everyone can participate at their own comfort level. Some prefer to just watch and enjoy the atmosphere while others get creative. It's a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
Can activities come to our accommodation?+
Yes! Life drawing is a mobile service - I travel to your Airbnb, hotel, or hen house with all materials included. Many other activities like mobile spas, private chefs, and cocktail making can also come to you.
How many people can participate?+
Life drawing works best with groups of 8-20 people, but I can accommodate smaller groups (minimum charge applies) and larger groups up to 30+ with advance notice. Most hen parties are around 10-15 people.
