The 10 Most Popular Hen Party Activities
1. Tea Party
Tea parties are scaling the hen party ladder quite quickly in terms of the most popular hen party activities. They’re quirky, cute and a unique way to add a classy twist to your hen do.
They don’t have to be all prim and properness, either – spike your tea with a drop of whiskey et voila! Perfect hen party activity.
2. River Cruise
Take your hen party into unknown territories with a river cruise! Booze, best friends and banter, all quite literally in the same boat – what’s not to love?
A river cruise is a nice way to do something a little different without straying too far from traditional hen party activities.
3. Pole Dancing Lesson
Ahhhh, pole dancing – the hen party activity to top all hen party activities!
Swinging yourself around a pole in front of the girls might not seem like it’s going to be good craic at first, but trust us on this one – it’s one of the best laughs you’ll ever have, and it’s a great way to bond with your pals. There’s a reason it’s so popular after all!
Plus, you might even come away with a few new moves you didn’t know before hand. 😉
4. Spa Day
Male or female, hen party or no hen party, everyone deserves a spa day at some point, but brides-to-be arguably deserve one most of all. And, as far as hen party activities go, there are a lot worse things to do than getting a massage and facial!
The stress that goes into planning a wedding can take its toll on our poor hens, so why not book her and the rest of the crew in for a day of bliss? Get primped, preened and pampered before you take on the town that night.
5. Cocktail Making Classes
Cocktail making classes have become somewhat of a hen-party staple in the last decade, and we can see why – they’re educational and an excuse for fruity drinks! (OK, educational might be a bit of a stretch, but still.)
Take an hour or two to learn from the masters, and arrive back to your accommodation ready to mix up all your favourite poisons perfectly. You’ll be a cocktail queen in no time!
6. Zorbing
For those not in the know, Zorbing is the act of being strapped into a gigantic inflatable ball and rolling down a track at breakneck speed. Sounds like great craic! Zorbing is a perfect day out for the hen with a passion for adventure.
This activity is great for working up a decent thirst before your big night out on the town. Go solo or grab a few of your ladies and ride it out together on Europe’s only cornered globe-riding track here in Ireland.
7. Party Bus
Don’t fancy pushing your way around a packed nightclub on your last night of freedom? Why not rent a Party Bus, your very own nightclub-on-wheels!
Hop on and experience the road-trip of your life, with unlimited alcohol, fingerfood, your choice of music on an excellent sound-system, and plenty of space for your crew to shake their tailfeathers. If you decide that you’d like to go to the club after all, the Party Bus will drop you outside the door of a club of your choosing. Nice one!
8. Archery
Channel your inner Katniss Everdeen and try your arm at archery, easily one of the most fun hen party activities on the planet. Grab a bow and arrow and let loose at some targets for the afternoon with your best friends – it’s a fab way to work up a thirst for the pub that night.
You’ll walk away feeling like a complete and utter badass. Trust us, you’ll be ‘volunteering as tribute’ in no time!
9. Go-Karting
Traditionally assumed to be more of a stag-night activity, go-karting is becoming a more popular choice for hen party activities, and rightly so. Who wouldn’t enjoy zooming around with your friends, competing for the title of the fastest gal on the track?
Choose this as an activity for your hen weekend and get the adrenaline pumping before you take on a bar crawl that evening.
10. Strippers
The ultimate in ladies’ entertainment, a stripper is the Maraschino cherry on top of the boozy hen party cake. Can you think of anything better than a broody, bicep-flexing babe breaking out his best moves for you and your party while you sip on some cocktails? We certainly can’t!
If a whole show seems a bit much for you, why not enquire about our Butler In The Buff service? We’ll send a handsome hunk to your party ready to wait on you hand and foot for an hour, and he’s all yours to ogle. Perfect!
