All UK-bookable and run by suppliers who welcome every group. Mix one or two with a meal and a night out for a celebration that suits the bride-to-be.

  1. Line Dancing

    One of the most popular activities we run for lesbian hen parties. Learn a fun country routine with an instructor who keeps everyone involved, with bubbly for the hen. Great for mixed groups and all abilities.

  2. Bottomless Brunch

    Two hours of prosecco, bellinis or cocktails with good food in a central venue. The easy way to kick things off with everyone together, and welcoming spots are no trouble to find.

  3. Glow Sports

    Glow netball, dodgeball and more, played in the dark under UV with neon kit and music. Energetic, hilarious and a great leveller for any fitness.

  4. Cocktail Making Class

    Shake, muddle and taste your way through a few cocktails with a friendly host. Sociable, hands-on and easy to build a whole evening around.

  5. Beyoncé Texas Hold ’Em

    Learn Beyoncé’s routine in a private class with complimentary bubbly. Pure fun, easy to pick up and a guaranteed group singalong.

  6. Old School Sports Day

    Egg and spoon, sack races and team games with venue hire included. No assumptions, no pressure, just daft competitive fun for the whole group.

  7. Smartphone Treasure Hunt

    An app-led hunt with clues, pub stops and challenges run on your own phones. No host needed, and you set off whenever the group is ready.

  8. Lip Sync Battle

    Pick your anthems, split into two teams and battle it out with props and a routine. It turns even the shyest of the group into a performer.

  9. Life Drawing

    A relaxed, creative session that works beautifully for lesbian hen parties. Book a male or female model depending on the bride-to-be’s preference, with an art tutor guiding the group.

  10. Spice Girls Dance

    Channel your inner Scary, Sporty or Posh and learn a full Spice Girls routine together. Easy to pick up, very silly and the whole group throws itself in.

Why Our Activities Work for LGBTQ+ Hen Parties

We have organised hen dos for LGBTQ+ couples since 2007, and the thing that matters most is simple: suppliers who do not make assumptions. Every instructor, host and venue we use is comfortable with any group, from two partners celebrating together to a mixed circle of friends.

That means no games that assume there is a groom, no assumptions about partners, and inclusive language that comes naturally rather than feeling forced. The result is a day where the whole group can relax and celebrate the bride-to-be properly, which is exactly how it should be.

Emily - Group Booking Team Leader

“The best lesbian hen dos are simply brilliant hen dos, planned around what the bride-to-be loves. We only work with suppliers who welcome every group as a matter of course, so nobody thinks twice and you just enjoy the day.”

Best Cities for a Lesbian Hen Do

A few cities are especially easy for an LGBTQ+ hen do, with an established scene and venues that are used to looking after all kinds of groups.

Brighton

The UK’s unofficial LGBTQ+ capital. Kemptown is packed with bars, the seafront is made for a daytime wander, and the whole city takes a hen do in its stride.

Manchester

The Gay Village along Canal Street sits in the heart of town, so the bars, the activities and your hotel are all within a short walk.

London

From Soho to Shoreditch there are more bars, shows and bottomless brunches than you could fit into one weekend, plus any activity you can think of.

Liverpool

Scouse warmth, the bars around Stanley Street and a city that folds every group straight into the night out.

Edinburgh

The Pink Triangle scene sits inside one of the prettiest city centres in the UK, ideal for a hen weekend with culture by day and a proper night out.

Abroad, Amsterdam and Barcelona are firm favourites for a livelier weekend away. Browse all our hen do destinations across the UK and Europe to find the right fit.

★★★★★

"We recently did a 90s dance class and a life drawing class which was hilarious. Our faces were hurting after laughing all day! It was a fantastic hen do, and booking was so straigh­tforward."

— Natalie Scott, via Trustpilot

Lesbian Hen Do FAQs

Line dancing, a bottomless brunch, glow sports, cocktail making and life drawing are among the most popular. They are fun, welcoming and designed so everyone can get involved without any awkward assumptions.
Not really. Plan it around the bride-to-be like any hen do: the activities she would love, a group that gets on, and a city with a good atmosphere. The one thing worth a moment’s thought is choosing welcoming suppliers, and ours already are.
Brighton leads the way, with Manchester, London, Liverpool and Edinburgh all offering a relaxed scene and great nightlife. Abroad, Amsterdam and Barcelona are firm favourites.
Absolutely. If you share the same friendship circle, a joint celebration works brilliantly and keeps costs down. If you have different friends or want your own day, separate hen dos are completely normal too.
Eight to twelve weeks for a weekend is a good guide, and earlier for Brighton or Manchester in peak summer. Weekday celebrations give you more flexibility and often better prices.
Yes. Every activity and supplier we work with welcomes all groups, and we only use licensed, insured suppliers we have vetted ourselves. We are ABTA bonded (Y6501) and have organised 55,000+ hen parties since 2007.
