✏️ Gay Men’s Life Drawing Class
4th Tuesday of the Month
The Ministry, Borough.
Draw Together. Meet Gay Men. Make Friends.
This Friend of Dorothy event is about bringing gay men together in real life to connect, create and build genuine friendships.
A relaxed and social evening of life drawing featuring male models in a welcoming, body-positive environment.
Whether you’ve never drawn before or already love sketching, this class is designed to be approachable, creative and fun. Across the evening, you’ll take part in guided life-drawing exercises with opportunities to explore form, movement and expression while naturally meeting and chatting with the people around you.
With a smaller group setting, the event creates an easy atmosphere for conversation and connection. These events aren’t just about the activity itself, they’re about creating spaces where gay men can build friendships, share experiences and feel part of a community outside of the usual nightlife scene.
Expect a relaxed atmosphere, great conversation and a creative evening with like-minded people.
All materials will be provided, including drawing boards, paper, pencils, charcoal and erasers, though you’re welcome to bring your own supplies if preferred.
No experience necessary — just come with an open mind.
Come for the creativity.
Stay for the conversation.
Leave inspired and a little more connected.

It's the most common worry we hear. Here's how we make sure first-timers leave feeling like they belong.
You won't be the only solo guy
More than 60% of attendees come alone. The room is built for it.
We greet you at the door
Tell us it's your first time and we'll introduce you to people right away.
The activity does the work
You don't have to make small talk from cold.
Leave when you want
Stay for the social or head home early. Both are normal.

Finally a gay event where I felt seen
I'm 47 and most gay events make me feel ancient. This one had every type of guy — single, coupled, all ages.
— Marcus · Comedy night, JuneMy first gay event ever
Was so nervous to come alone. Within 10 minutes someone introduced themselves at the bar.
— Theo · Comedy night, JuneWorth every penny (which is barely any)
£10 for a line-up that would cost £40 anywhere else, plus a drink and a gift bag.
— Carlos · Comedy night, JuneWhat's on next book before they go
