30+ Funniest Hen Party Activities (That Always Get Laughs)

We've put together our favourite activities that guarantee laughs, from painting ceramic willies to bouncing around in giant inflatable bubbles. After organising 55,000+ hen parties since 2007, these are the ones that consistently get whole groups, not just the bride's best friends, properly giggling together.

Pimp That Penis is one of our highest-rated funny activities, and most groups say it’s the moment everyone properly relaxes. Decorating ceramic willies with glitter, feathers and whatever mad ideas come to mind brings out hilarious creativity, even from the shy guests who claim they're "not artistic".

Life drawing always gets giggles from the moment the model walks in. Your instructor keeps things cheeky but not cringey, and the laughter comes from how "unique" everyone's artwork turns out. We run hundreds of these sessions every year, and they consistently get 5-star feedback from mixed-age groups.

Bubble Mayhen is pure chaos in the best way. You're strapped into giant inflatable bubbles and spend the session rolling, bouncing and colliding while playing silly games. It's physically impossible not to laugh, and the instructor tailors the pace so everyone can join in, whatever their fitness level.

Lip Sync Battle turns your group into pop stars for the day. With props, choreography and full team performances, you'll end up with dramatic walk-ins, over-the-top moves and hilarious moments you'll talk about for months. This activity works particularly well for groups who want something energetic but structured.

Space Hopper Races, Old School Sports Day and Goofy Games bring out that carefree, childhood energy. These sessions work brilliantly because nobody tries to be "cool" when they're bouncing on a space hopper. Our event coordinators say these are the activities where even the most reserved guests end up in fits of laughter.

Dance classes such as Beyoncé, Spice Girls or ABBA also deliver guaranteed laughs. Your instructor breaks everything down step-by-step, and even guests who "can't dance" end up loving it. Our feedback consistently shows these work especially well for groups with a 20-year age gap.

If you're wondering whether funny hen activities will suit your whole group, here's why we recommend them for almost every type of celebration.

The funniest hen parties happen when groups stop worrying about looking silly and just embrace the chaos. We've seen it thousands of times, even the bride's mum ends up laughing hardest.

Why Funny Hen Activities Work for Every Group

From 55,000+ hen parties we've organised, we've learned that funny activities consistently get the best feedback from mixed groups, especially when there's a wide age range. The activities we offer are silly and entertaining without making anyone uncomfortable, which is exactly why they work when the bride's mum, her sister, and her work friends are all celebrating together.

Professional instructors run everything, and they're trained to read the room and keep the energy light and inclusive. Whether someone's 25 or 55, they'll find themselves laughing along because the humour comes from the activity itself. Struggling to draw a life model, bouncing off each other in bubble suits, or attempting choreography creates natural comedy without anything crude or awkward.

Our most successful funny activities share one thing: everyone's equally terrible at them. Life drawing gets giggles because nobody can sketch properly. Bubble Mayhen is hilarious because you physically can't stay upright. Dance classes work because the instructor makes sure nobody feels singled out. These are natural ice-breakers that get groups chatting and relaxing within the first ten minutes.

Sarah, one of our Hen Party Specialists, always tells nervous organisers: "If your biggest worry is whether the bride's mum will enjoy it, book a funny activity. I've never had a complaint, usually she's the one laughing hardest."

We run funny hen activities across the UK, and some cities are particularly brilliant for silly celebrations. Here's where to book if you want guaranteed laughs.

Where to Book Funny Hen Activities in the UK

Brighton is brilliant for funny hen activities because the seaside setting adds extra fun to everything. We run life drawing sessions on the seafront and bubble Mayhen near the pier, and the beach backdrop makes for fantastic photos alongside all the entertainment.

Liverpool's legendary sense of humour means groups here absolutely love our silliest activities. From our Liverpool bookings, Pimp That Penis and lip sync battles consistently get the highest ratings. Scouse crowds know how to have a proper laugh and throw themselves into everything.

Newcastle hen parties embrace anything daft and energetic. Goofy games and old school sports day work brilliantly here because Geordie groups approach every activity with genuine enthusiasm, and our instructors say Newcastle weekends always have the best atmosphere.

Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff all have brilliant city centre venues perfect for dance classes and life drawing. Book mobile activities and we'll bring everything straight to your accommodation. We run hundreds of mobile sessions across these cities every year, so logistics are completely sorted.

Planning a funny hen do is about finding the right balance between silly and comfortable. Here's what we've learned works best.

How to Plan a Funny Hen Do (Without Going Too Far)

Start by thinking about the bride's comfort level. From years of organising these celebrations, we've seen that some brides love being centre of attention in cheeky activities, while others prefer group fun where everyone's involved equally. Chat with her beforehand, or if you're planning a surprise, check with her sister or best friend who knows her well.

Balance one silly activity with something more relaxed. Our most popular combinations are Pimp That Penis in the afternoon followed by cocktails, or life drawing before heading out for dinner. You don't need to pack the weekend with constant entertainment. Groups actually prefer having downtime to chat and enjoy each other's company.

Budget around £25-35 per person for most funny activities. Mobile options cost slightly more but save you organising transport, which makes coordination much easier when you're managing a group of 12-15 people. All our prices include instructor fees, equipment and travel across England, Scotland and Wales.
