Pub Paint & Sip

Hen and Pens came to my pub to host a paint and sip evening for the locals and it was amazing! Naomi brought the energy and was amazing at talking everyone through their paintings! Would 100% recommend and do it again

Highly Recommended!

Really great, fun experience. Great communication arranging the event and the life model was punctual and professional. He understood the vibe and characteristics of the group. We were a little unsure and nervous about what to expect, but we needn’t have been. I don’t think we’ve laughed so hard and for so long in a long time. I would highly recommend this activity.

Life drawing for hen do

We had the most amazing time with the life drawing session for our hen do! The host Jósef was fantastic—fun, professional, and made everyone feel completely at ease from the start. The whole experience was the perfect mix of cheeky and creative, with lots of laughs along the way.

Everything was really well organised, and the activities were engaging for all skill levels (even complete beginners!). It was such a unique and memorable way to celebrate, and the bride absolutely loved it.

I’d highly recommend this to anyone planning a hen party or group event—such a brilliant experience with the company from start to finish! Andrew was on hand for all questions and scenarios!

Great Laugh with friends

Our model Rob was fantastic. He was such a great laugh and made the session really fun. Some of the group didn't really know what to expect but once the session kicked off, it was one great big laugh, healthy competition and our bride-to-be had the best time. Rob was great at checking in with what the group/bride would feel comfortable with - which we really appreciated.

Amanda was really helpful regarding helping us choose the right package for the group.
Would 1000% use Hens and Pens again!

Amanda organised my team activity…

Amanda organised my team activity afternoon very well. We had over 40 staff who all took part in painting either a tote bag, vase, gin glass or water glass. We all had fun with music, team banter and refreshments and had one overall winner who won a prize for the best art work. I would definitely recommend Hens with Pens for a fun team building activity and having something to remember from the day, to take home.

Amanda and Andrew were absolutely brilliant, from start to finish!

Amanda and Andrew were absolutely brilliant, from start to finish! They hosted a wonderful Sip and Paint evening in our London office, where attendees were guided through a Koi fish painting.

When planning the event, they arranged a call with us to discuss our ideas and kept us updated over WhatsApp with the sample painting. They were flexible with numbers and were very good value for money! They also provided an incredibly helpful step by step guide for attendees, which we were able to print out for attendees to refer to on the night.

The set up at our offices was seamless and their hosting was excellent, in terms of their guidance, the drying stations set up and keeping everyone on time to ensure we achieved the finished painting in a tight time frame. It was a brilliant evening with everyone having a lot of fun!

Feedback from attendees couldn't have been better, many saying this was the best firm event they had ever attended, and many asking when the next one is! We will definitely be back in touch to arrange another event with Amanda and Andrew.

Thanks again!

Drag bingo and drawing - what fun!!

We had the drag bingo and drawing. WOW!! Highlight of the hen do! Our faces ached from laughing so much. The set up from start to finish was brilliant - Ula Lah, James and Jane were exceptional. Throwing the whole group off with a blindfolded “drawing” couldn’t have been better. Ula Lah was a scream, we love her and can’t frankly want to be her!

A cheeky sip and paint!

We had an absolutely amazing time recreating one of my sister's engagement photos with Naomi! From start to finish she was wonderful to collaborate with and make the day as special as it was!
Naomi was very patient and skillful in getting us all to recreate the image (it had a hand in, so not an easy feat!). She is absolutely wonderful and we would recommend her to anyone! Everyone had such a great time and enjoyed painting regardless of skill set!!
Sean also accompanied us as a butler and gave the activity the cheeky edge it needed! We were welcomed wonderfully by him. He made sure we never had an empty glass and even became part of the art himself. He was fab giving everyone attention and helped make the day even better!
We had a great time, thank you to you both! And to the team helping organise everything as we weren't from York!!

Highly recommend!

Excellent communication from the moment I requested a quote to the actual day of. We did a 90 minute session with an artist and model as a surprise for a hen do, and it went down a treat. After everyone’s initial shock, Jane and James did a great job at making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. It was an excellent blend of an actual art class and learning experience, and fun games and silliness. James asked for consent before approaching anyone or getting the bride to do anything more interactive which was hugely appreciated by everyone in attendance. Jane and James make a great team and a fun time was had by all!

Booking process was so easy

Booking process was so easy, any questions answered the same day via what’s app. The team kept you in the loop and updated with things. We all had a great laugh, everyone comment how funny it was. We had a great evening. The 2 men we had were confident, humorous and made us laugh a lot. One thing I would say is are 2 men we had said they hadn’t worked together before which is fine but they weren’t a great match together. Funny individually but very different people and wasn’t a real ‘team work’ feel from it. But all in all we had fun and made great memories! I would highly recommend using hens with pens for you weekend of fun!

Life model (Clare)

This weekend at my sister’s hen do we booked a life model (Clare) through Hens with Pens and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She was very friendly, matched the vibe of the group and made sure all the hens were involved having the best time. Great experience.
