Trying to decide on the sort of activities to go for can prove to be difficult but no need to worry. Below we have listed some of the most popular activities amongst hen groups!
Afternoon Tea
Afternoon Tea is the ultimate treat! An activity that has become quite popular in recent years. Gorgeous china, delicious cake, and a glass of prosecco or two, what’s not to like? Sit back, relax and enjoy some yummy sandwiches, desserts, tea or prosecco while chatting to all the ladies.
Spa Day

Enjoy some champagne whilst you sit back, relax and enjoy the relaxing environment of a spa. We offer a wide range of spa treatments in our packages.
Treasure Trail
A Treasure Trail Activity is perfect for the bunch looking to do something less physical. An activity that includes the whole group, its great to get everyone mingling and talking to one another. Gather up the girls, follow a route and solve some clues. Plus, you will get to see some beautiful tourist attractions along the way.
Cocktail Class
Cocktail Classes are a hen party ritual! It’s a brilliant activity to get the whole group involved. Start the night off on a high before the heavy night of drinking. This activity allows the hens chat and mingle with one another. Learn how to create your favourite cocktail, you’ll be cocktail experts by the end of it.
Splatball
For the more active hen group, Splatball is another popular activity. It’s very similar to paintball however there is no pain inflicted. Run around a ‘battlefield’ in camouflage gear shooting paintballs at one another! This activity will be one to remember. You’ll all be in the stitches at one another.
Cube Games
Cube Games is based on the famous tv show ‘The Cube’. Compete against your group to see who the master of the cube will be. Cube games can take part both indoors and outdoors. An activity great for team building and breaking the ice. Take part in the ‘Post it, Switch, Square Tower Move, Round Tower Build, and Ball Stack’ challenges.
