Cambridge hen weekend destination, cottages and activities

Cambridge Hen Weekends

Acacia HQ love Cambridge's laid-back culture, amazing architecture and all the wonderful places to explore for more intrepid hens. It has an array of Hen Party Activities, Hen Weekend Houses, Bars and Restaurants, Things to Do, and a vibrant nightlife to ensure your weekend is really special.
Cambridge caters well for hen parties although as a group it is always best to book & dare we say, fancy dress can exclude you from some of the better places to go out.

Things to do in Cambridge

hen party activity, shopping

Punting

What better way is there to explore Cambridge than from the River Cam which works its way past all the famous colleges. Choose from chauffeured punts, ‘Do-it-yourself’ punting or river cruises & whirl away the hours with some great friends.

Shopping

Cambridge is a compact city with a wonderful choice of shops. From the hustle and bustle of the city’s market in Market Square, the Saturday All Saints Garden Art and Craft market, to an abundance of boutiques and independent shops as well as the Grafton Centre which houses high street brands and is only a short walk from the centre.

Kings College Chapel

A visit to Cambridge wouldn’t be complete without a trip to this spectacular college Chapel which plays a central role in Cambridge University life. Amazing architecture and occasional live music on Saturdays and Sundays add to the appeal. There is a small entrance fee for those outside of Cambridge.
