What are hen do packages?

On Hen Hideaways, a hen do package is the weekend you build - typically a hen-friendly house plus one or more activities such as cocktail making, spa access or life drawing. We do not sell fixed bundles through one company; you compare options by city, then book each supplier direct.

What hen party packages can you book in the UK?

You assemble your own: popular building blocks include cocktail making, spa day access, afternoon tea, bottomless brunch, life drawing, dance classes, escape rooms and boat cruises. Prices usually run £25–£75 per person for a two-to-three-hour session. Pick your city, shortlist activities that fit your group, then add a hen party house in the same destination.

What are the most popular hen party activities in the UK?

Cocktail making classes, life drawing, spa days, bottomless brunch, dance classes, karaoke, escape rooms and afternoon tea consistently rank among the most booked hen do activities across the UK. Many groups also book wine tasting, murder mystery events or a themed dance class for a perfect hen party atmosphere. Pick what suits your headcount and energy - a pamper day works for mixed ages, while nightlife-led activities suit smaller city-centre hen nights.

How much do hen party activities cost per person?

Most group hen party activities in the UK fall between £25 and £75 per person for a two-to-three-hour session. Cocktail making with a professional mixologist often sits around £30 to £45 per person, nude life drawing and creative workshops are similar, spa day packages can run £50 to £90 per person, and premium options in a private venue with bottomless prosecco cost more. Always confirm whether the price includes materials, a welcome drink or venue hire.

What are good hen do activities for a mixed-age group?

Afternoon tea, cocktail making, flower crown making, ceramic painting, perfume making, wine tasting and gentle spa sessions tend to work well when your guests span twenties through to fifties. School sports day style games, chocolate making and line dancing also suit mixed parties if the bride wants something playful but not too wild. Build in downtime between high-energy sessions.

Can you do hen party activities at home?

Yes. Popular at-home hen party activities include cocktail kit parties with a mobile mixologist, craft workshops, murder mystery boxes, pamper parties, garden games and hired entertainment such as life drawing or butlers in the buff for a comedy twist. At-home options work especially well when you have booked a hen party house for the weekend.

What are the best cities for hen party activities?

Brighton, Liverpool, Bath, Bristol, Nottingham and Bournemouth offer strong combinations of nightlife, creative classes and bookable daytime experiences. A hen party in London has the widest choice of immersive experiences and evening shows but higher prices. Pick your city first, then shortlist activities that fit your weekend. Our city directories list bookable options by category.

How far in advance should you book hen party activities?

For popular weekend dates, book main activities at least eight to twelve weeks ahead, especially spa days, private cocktail classes, life drawing with limited slots and popular Dreamboys or cabaret-style shows. Midweek hen dos often have more availability. We'd collect deposits early so you can confirm headcount with providers.

What alcohol-free hen party activities are there?

Craft workshops, dance classes, escape rooms, afternoon tea, ceramic painting, perfume making, cookery classes, axe throwing, water sports and outdoor adventures can all work without alcohol. Many cocktail making sessions also offer mocktail versions. Ask when booking if you have non-drinkers or pregnant guests in the party.

How do hen party activities fit into a hen weekend?

Most hens plan one anchor daytime activity, optional lighter plans for the afternoon, then evening food or nightlife. Don't stack three high-energy bookings back-to-back. Confirm travel time between venues, build in getting-ready time if you are heading out, and keep one flexible slot in case you run late.

What are good alternative hen do ideas if the bride hates traditional nightlife?

Alternative hen do plans include life drawing, flower crown workshops, chocolate making, a spa day, wine tasting, pole dancing or burlesque classes (if she is comfortable), cookery schools and bubble mayhen or outdoor challenge games. Many brides want a memorable celebration without a heavy club night, so daytime-led itineraries work well.

Do hen party activities include entertainment packages?

Some groups book standalone entertainment such as Dreamboys shows, male strippers, buff butlers, lip sync battle hosts or silent disco hire alongside a meal or private venue. Match the vibe to what the bride is comfortable with, agree together before booking anything surprise-led, and check whether the package includes travel or a minimum spend.

Cocktail making and mixology classes

Be At One hen party activity in Bournemouth — Be At One - Bournemouth · 1 of 10

Cocktail making is still one of our most-booked hen party activities in the UK. A mixologist walks everyone through shaking, stirring and garnishing, usually with a welcome drink included. Sessions typically run ninety minutes to two hours and work equally well as a daytime warm-up or early evening plan before dinner.

Planning details

Look for a private venue if you want the room to yourselves, or shared classes if you are keeping costs down. Many providers offer mocktail alternatives, which helps when you have mixed drinkers. Immersive speakeasy formats (similar to concepts like Moonshine Saloon) are brilliant if you want theatre with your drinks.

Cocktail making pairs naturally with bottomless brunch or bottomless prosecco if you are planning a longer celebration in one location.

Typical cost£30 to £55 per person

Life drawing and creative classes

The Stable hen party activity in Bournemouth — Sourdough pizzas and cider-fuelled feasts at The Stable Bournemouth - the ultimate hen party fuel. · 1 of 10

Life drawing hens never really go out of style: a relaxed session with an instructor, art materials and optional bubbles. Nude life drawing is the best-known format, but clothed sessions suit you if you want the same laughs with a softer tone. Creative alternatives include ceramic painting, flower crown making, chocolate making, perfume making and candle making.

Planning details

We'd book these for the afternoon when you want structure without rushing into evening plans. They photograph beautifully if the bride wants group moments that are not centred on bars or clubs.

Many studios host in a private venue with prosecco on arrival, which keeps the occasion feeling special without late-night pressure.

Typical cost£25 to £45 per person

Group sizeflexible; private hire from around 10 guests

Dance classes and themed parties

Barbara's Bier Haus hen party activity in Bournemouth — Barbara's Bier Haus Bournemouth · 1 of 10

From ABBA and Beyoncé to burlesque, pole dancing and line dancing, a themed dance class gives everyone a shared laugh and often a routine to perform. Instructors usually tailor the energy to your party. No experience needed, and fancy dress often adds to the fun.

Planning details

Book a private studio if you want the room to yourselves, and check whether the venue allows prosecco or decorations. Dance classes pair well with bottomless brunch afterwards and suit hen nights that start early before heading out.

Lip sync battles and school sports day dance-offs are popular add-ons if you want competitive photo moments.

Typical cost£20 to £40 per person

Duration60 to 90 minutes

Sophisticated seafood and champagne at Brighton's iconic Riddle & Finns - perfect for a classy hen lunch. · 1 of 10

Food-led hen do activities are ideal when you want conversation, sitting down and a clear start and finish time. Afternoon tea suits elegant celebrations; bottomless brunch and bottomless prosecco fit younger city weekends; wine tasting works when you want something structured but still relaxed.

Planning details

Reserve ahead for Saturday slots in popular cities - Brighton, Bath and Liverpool fill quickly in peak season. Confirm whether service charge and dietary options are included.

Spa days and pamper parties

Bubble Mayhen hen party activity in Bournemouth — Bubble Mayhen · 1 of 10

Spa days remain one of the most requested hen party activities when you want calm over chaos. A full spa day might include pool access, a treatment each and lunch. Mobile pamper parties bring therapists to your hen party house, which is brilliant if you are staying in the countryside.

Planning details

Check treatment lengths and whether robes, lunch or bubbles are included. We'd often book spa days on the Friday or Sunday of a hen weekend when energy levels vary.

Pamper parties suit intergenerational celebrations and brides who want a memorable occasion without a heavy party atmosphere.

Typical cost£50 to £90 per person for day packages

Old School Sports Day hen party activity in Bournemouth — Dorset Adventure Sports · 1 of 10

Interactive hen party activities like escape rooms, murder mystery dinners, axe throwing, bubble mayhen and outdoor challenges suit you if you want teamwork and a bit of adrenaline. They slot easily into a Saturday afternoon and give everyone a shared story before the evening.

Planning details

Escape rooms often split larger parties across two rooms - confirm capacity when booking. Outdoor options depend on weather, so keep an indoor backup in mind.

School sports day packages and crazy golf also fit here when the bride wants competitive fun without a late night.

Typical cost£25 to £50 per person

Some parties add Dreamboys, male strippers, butler in the buff or buff butlers for a comedy-led night. Match the vibe to what the bride is comfortable with and agree together before booking anything surprise-led.

Planning details

Reserve tables and time slots together so nobody gets split across venues. Link evening plans to where you are staying or dining to cut down on taxi costs.

Plan a weekend that flows beautifully

The right mix depends on what the bride wants, your budget and whether you are planning city nights or a relaxed house weekend.

Group size, budget and picking the right activity

We'd always start with what the bride is comfortable with - not the wildest idea doing the rounds in the chat! The perfect activity fits your budget, the energy in the room and getting everyone to the venue on time. Bigger parties need clearer meeting points, longer lead times and often a private venue so everyone stays together.

Budget roughly £40 to £60 per person for your main booking, then add meals, taxis and accommodation on top. We'd collect deposits early so you can confirm numbers with suppliers.

Building your hen weekend timeline

Split the weekend into one anchor daytime experience, something lighter in the afternoon, then evening food or nightlife. Don't stack three high-energy bookings back-to-back - you'll thank yourself when you're not rushing between venues.

Saturday is usually the main occasion, with Friday for travel and check-in. Sunday works well for brunch or a gentle spa before everyone heads home.

Matching activities to your hen party house

Once you've shortlisted activities, browse hen party houses in the same city so you have a base between plans. A large house makes at-home activities, pamper parties and late-night hen nights much easier - you have somewhere to get ready, stash bags and wind down.

For countryside celebrations, mobile mixologists, life drawing tutors and caterers often travel to the property, which makes the house part of the experience.
