Where to go?

If you’re scratching your head wondering where to go, don’t. Choosing your destination is easier than you think. We suggest always starting with the bride-to-be as she may have an old haunt she wants to revisit for a bit of nostalgic fun or a burning desire to visit somewhere completely new. If she doesn’t mind, work out where all the hen are coming from. As a rule of thumb our groups like to travel roughly a couple of hours from home. Of course if they are coming from all sorts of different directions, try and find a central location a short distance from the motorway. Lastly, if you are still unsure, try making your base close to an activity you know the bride-to-be want to do. If she’s into Water Sports try somewhere like Bournemouth or Tenby or if she loves city life, try Bath, York or Bristol. Finally, one last thought, the less time you have travelling, the more time you have to celebrate. Yay!

...Then there was time to chill and relax before getting all glammed up for our night in Bath. Scotty the taxi driver and his partner were lovely and made it so easy to transfer into town and back even stopping to take group photos for us. The meal and waitress were also wonderful and then it was on to party with drinks and dancing at the nightclub! A huge thank you for all your recommendations it was a fabulous weekend! Everything was perfectly organised and timed and therefore hassle free!

Bath Hen Weekends

Bath is a sophisticated medley of things to do, day or night. Stylish shopping, the River Avon for water fun and the Race Course for a flutter or two. At night, it comes alive with restaurants and nightlife sure to keep you dancing to the wee small hours. Great for Cocktails in bars, Afternoon Tea, Locked-in and Gin Tasting. The surrounding countryside is stunning, with quaint villages with taste bud tingling gastro pubs.

The cobbled streets of York really set the tone for a charm filled hen weekend. They say there is a different pub for everyday of the year – so at least you know you won’t go thirsty! Set close to the river for all sorts of water fun, the Cathedral looms high creating the perfect backdrop for all your Instagram shots! Think, themed Dance Lessons, Cocktails, Meals, Club Entry, Clay Shooting and a whole host of river ideas.
