If you're planning a winter hen do and aren't jetting off to a warmer climate, you may be wondering what kind of activities you and your hens can enjoy without braving the not-so-great winter weather. Luckily there are hundreds of options for hens to choose from these days, so you never have to worry about being short of things to do! Whether you want your hen to be active, relaxing or educational, there are plenty of ideas out there to suit a range of styles and budgets.
Here are just a few to get you thinking:
Wine/Chocolate Tasting
If you're a foodie hen with a passion for trying new things, a tasting course/tour could be a great choice for a party activity. From chocolate tours in London to Whiskey tasting in Edinburgh, there are plenty of food and drink tasting experiences available throughout the UK, as well as more bespoke options that are specifically designed for hen parties. Whether wine or gin is more your thing, you're sure to find an option to suit your tastes.
Perfume Making
This idea not only allows your hens to get creative, but also presents them with a keepsake to remember the weekend with. According studies, scent is the sense which is most evocative of memory, so what better way to allow your friends and family to remember your weekend than with their own personalised fragrance?
Makeover Masterclass
If you fancy being pampered but want the session to be educational too, then why not book a make up masterclass with a professional artist? Available from at-home providers and at studios in various locations, these experiences work brilliantly in preparation for the ceremony itself! No doubt everyone will want to look their best at the wedding, especially the bride, so this option gives you all the knowledge you need to ensure that you're picture-perfect for the big day!
Pole Lessons
Pole fitness has become something of a craze in recent years, and for a good reason! Not only is it incredibly good for your fitness and flexibility, pole fitness is also great fun when undertaken as a group activity. Though you may come away with a few burns and bruises, it will all be worth it for the laughs had and calories burned!
Cupcake Decorating
Thanks to programmes like Bake Off and the rise of Pinterest culture, we just can't get away from cute and tasty baking ideas these days! Thanks to the steady rise in demand from people wanting to learn the tricks of the trade, there are now dozens of baking and cake decorating masterclasses available to hens. Combining the foodie and skill-learning elements of previously mentioned activities, this choice also allows you to produce mementos of your day (although we're not sure just how long they'll last..).
