Top hen party ideas during the daytime
Hen activity ideas that will get your blood pumping, champagne flowing or taste buds tingling
Once you’ve booked your hen party accommodation, it’s time for the fun part – organising some fun hen party activities and games! We suggest splitting this into daytime activities and then planning the hen night activities. Fill the day with something interactive such as cocktail making, or something silly and hilarious like It’s a Knockout. For the evening, a favourite is to make use of your property by booking a private chef, that could even be served by buff butlers. If you’re looking to head out on your hen night, then how about a drag show, booking VIP passes in a selection of local bars or clubs or even a naughty evening at the Dream Boys show. We’ve listed all the best hen party activities so you don’t have to come up with the ideas yourself!

6 top tips to organise a hen party
1) Create a Guest List – Who are the non-negotiable invites? Will the hen want her mum / mother in-law / sister there? Does the hen have any colleagues outside of her immediate friendship group that should be invited?
2) Start a Group Chat – Communication is one of the most important things to a successful hen party. Start a Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp group chat. This way you’ll save yourself the stress of having to message individual people constantly.
3) Decide on a destination– You can either decide this yourself as the lead hen do organiser, or vote as a group. Are you going abroad or sticking to the UK? City break or would you rather a bit more space out in the country? Whatever you choose, think about what the hen would love.
4) Book Accommodation – Before organising anything else, get your hen accommodation booked. There’s no point booking activities and travel to a destination that you can’t find accommodation for. Agree on a budget with your group and secure a house or hotel with a deposit first.
5) Book Activities – Once accommodation is booked you’ll know what is left of the budget to source and book some activities. We have heaps of bundles that you can choose from or browse our individual activities and create a bespoke combo. You can create a weekend full of things the bride loves or alternatively, choose something she’s never done!
6) Nitty-gritty details; Travel, Food – With most things paid for and now arranged, think about the finer details. How are you travelling to and from your base and activities? What will you be eating and drinking? Do you need to buy any hen related novelties or outfits for both the lead hen and her trustee hens?
