Need to plan a fun hen party and don’t know where to start? Get planning to take the hens out in Gloucestershire – a great location for a hen party that’s often overlooked.
Whether you’re from the Gloucestershire area, or are looking for somewhere in the UK to travel to, you won’t regret throwing the hen party in this awesome county.
Known for beautiful countryside views, cute villages and trendy cities, there’s plenty to plan for a hen party in Gloucestershire. It’s got so much more to offer than that tasty orange cheese that shares its name (although, you can’t beat a bit of cheese, can you?)
Below are some of the things you need to consider when booking a hen party in Gloucestershire.
Renting a Holiday Cottage
If there’s a group of you, it probably makes sense to rent a hen do house over splurging on a hotel. Usually you can get your choice of country cottages that are perfect to host your hens.
Just because you’re staying in a holiday cottage, it doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to the nightlife, plenty of them are close enough to the pub scene that a short drive will take you where you need to be.
Which leads to me on to my next point…
How Will You Travel?
It can be hard to organise getting a group of you from A to B. It can be even harder when A to B, becomes B to C and so on until you’re staggering through the door at destination Z, ready for one final Espresso Martini.
It’s not worth trying to get involved with learning about all the public transport systems if you’re only in the area for one weekend, so look into organising private hire in Gloucestershire to avoid any travel hiccups.
Cocktail Making Class
Is it even a hen party if nobody has tried to teach you the nuances of making tasty cocktails and you end up ignoring all the tips and making a semi-lethal mix? Of course it isn’t! That’s why you need to book in cocktail making as one of the hen party activities.
I recommend you arrange this for as early as possible in the evening, because your cocktail making ability will rapidly decline as the evening goes on.
Check Out the Night Life
You can’t start the night on a cocktail-making high and let it end there! The next natural step is to head out for the night life. By all accounts, the club scene is still going strong and places like Jax, Blue Bamboo and Bar Fever will give you a night of all your favourite music to move to.
A Pamper Session
You can’t give all your hens a late, booze-filled night and then not pamper them the next day. Book in at a local spa and get everyone in the queue for a lazy day and a massage. You’ll need to unwind after a night of cocktail making and dancing so the best place to be is at the side of a pool in one of those fluffy spa dressing gowns.
Once the raucous fun is over, everyone will need time to recover so they can return to reality completely refreshed after a fun filled weekend.
