Liverpool Life Drawing: Halloween Special

The Secret Circus are back at Deco Lounge on Sunday 25 October for another themed life drawing night, and this one is a Halloween special. The model for the evening is a professional in costume, and the theme is a vintage witch. It's part of the regular Liverpool Life Drawing sessions they run at the venue, which are costume figure drawing nights rather than the usual nude sessions you might expect from the name.

If you've never been, the format is kept low-barrier: basic drawing materials are provided on the night, so you don't need to bring a whole kit bag with you. All ages and abilities are welcome, and the brief is simple — bring a pencil and a coffee, settle in, and spend the evening drawing professional models in costume in a relaxed, friendly space. It's as much for experienced artists as for anyone just looking for a laugh and some creative vibes.

This particular session leans into the venue's spooky reputation, billed as a night of drawing the resident vintage witch. The Liverpool Life Drawing sessions have become a bit of a fixture on the calendar, held on the last Sunday of every month except December, so if you miss this one, there's usually another one around the corner.

Deco Lounge is at 65-67 Bold Street, L1 4EZ — the venue formerly known as Leaf. The session runs from 6:30 to 8:30pm, and tickets start from £11.25. Photography is permitted throughout the night, but there are no refunds, so keep that in mind before you book.
