If club nights, L-plates and feather boas aren’t up your street, there are plenty of off-beat alternatives for your hen do. From quirky activities to unusual days out, here are our top five unique hen do ideas to get you started.

Go to a Festival

For music-lovers, festivals are the perfect opportunity for an unforgettable weekend away with the girls. What better than a few days outdoors, beer in hand and dancing feet on?!

The UK is one of the best places in the world for music festivals: there’s a huge range to choose from – from mainstream music, to the uber-niche. If your hen party’s musical tastes range from bubblegum pop to soft rock, the Isle of Wight Festival will keep everyone happy. If you’d prefer to venture abroad, Benicassim is a no-brainer: a seaside festival near the incredible city of Barcelona.

Get a Vintage Makeover

Most girls will admit, there’s nothing more enjoyable and self-indulgent than playing dress-up – and it’s especially fun when you transform into a pin-up girl for the day! Why not channel your inner vintage darling with a makeover from the era of your choosing – incorporating victory rolls, pin curls and vintage make-up for an unforgettable afternoon of girliness. Some packages will even combine your afternoon with a vintage photoshoot.

Chocolate Making Course

The perfect hen do for chocoholics has got to be the chocolate making course. Learning how to make your own handmade chocolates, you’ll learn how to infuse flavours and distinguish between ‘good’ ad ‘bad’ chocolate (is there such a thing?!). Some courses even offer a round of choc-tails to finish!

Get Crafty

The ‘make do and mend’ movement has come back in force – and with it, a resurgence of love for all things crafty! From fascinators to jewellery and pottery to garters, why not go on your own makers course. Even if you’re not the most adept at crafts, it’ll be a great chance to bond with the girls!

Afternoon Tea

If you’re looking for a sedate yet sociable activity to include hens of all ages, you can’t go wrong with an afternoon tea. Dress up for the occasion, and enjoy sandwiches, scones and a sophisticated cuppa in the beautiful, relaxed surroundings of a country house or upmarket hotel.

With so many creative, unique hen do ideas to choose from, the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination!
