Day One – Kick off with an activity – travelling never makes you feel refreshed so why not put your activewear on and get yourselves out to a sporty activity! Something to lift all of your spirits and get your hen do off to a flying start. Make a reservation for a fine dining restaurant so you can get all dressed up for the evening and head on out for a couple of cocktails before (and after) dinner.

What’s the best way to travel around Bristol?
Like any city, public transport or a taxi is always far less stressful than trying to navigate yourself with your maid of honour giving you all the wrong directions. So take the stress away from yourself, book a group taxi or coach if there are more than a few of you, and head into the city – especially if you’re staying outside in the gorgeous countryside.
The train is another brilliant option, park and ride is also another favourite for travelling around Bristol. On the rare occasion there is also a boat service where you can get transported over the water – we wouldn’t advise doing this after a few drinks!
