All UK-bookable and chosen because they work brilliantly for a group of 6 to 10.

  1. DIY Pimp That Penis

    Delivered to your hen house with all the paints and decorations. No venue and no host to sort, so it works just as well for a small group as a big one, and the hen takes home her masterpiece.

  2. Smartphone Hen Party Treasure Hunt

    Designed for hens and self-run on your phones, with pub stops and daft challenges. Your group pays the same low rate and starts whenever the girls are ready.

  3. Hire a Cocktail Bartender

    A professional bartender comes to your accommodation and you supply the spirits. You pay for his time, not per head, so it works out excellent value when there are only a few of you.

  4. DIY Flower Crown Kits

    Faux flower crowns delivered to your door with everything included. Self-run and lovely for a relaxed afternoon with the girls.

  5. Dreamboys

    You simply buy your tickets, so the cost is the same whether there are six of you or sixteen. Turn up, get seated together and enjoy the show.

  6. Line Dancing

    A routine with an instructor who has time to help everyone in a small class, plus bubbly for the hen.

  7. Escape Rooms

    Themed rooms built for small teams of puzzle-solvers. Six to ten is the perfect number to crack the clues together without anyone left standing around.

  8. DIY Ceramic Painting

    Three ceramics each and all the paints, delivered to the house. Crafty, calm and run at your own pace.

  9. ABBA Dance

    Learn an ABBA routine in a private class where the instructor has time for everyone. Spectators are free, and a small class keeps it relaxed.

  10. Cosy Club Brunch & Drink

    Brunch and a drink each on a reserved table in a central venue. Easy to book for a few in a central venue.

Why 6 to 10 Is the Ideal Hen Party Size

A group of six to ten is the sweet spot for a hen do. Most of our activities run from around six people, so you can book almost anything on the list, and with a smaller group everyone actually gets involved.

Big enough to book almost anything

Most of our activities run from around six, so a group of 6 to 10 comfortably meets the numbers for dance classes, treasure hunts, cocktail making and the rest. A few have a higher minimum group size, but we can usually still arrange them for a smaller group, you would just cover the minimum, which is rarely much.

Small enough to stay personal

Everyone gets a proper go, the instructor has time for the whole group, and you are not herding twenty people around a city.

Easy to organise and pay

Fewer people means simpler planning, and with our individual payment system everyone sorts their own place online, so no one is chasing the money. There is also more time to chat and spend the day with the bride-to-be.

Eleanor - Group Booking Specialist

“Small hen groups are great to organise. Everyone gets stuck in, the activities are the right size for the group, and a group of six has just as good a time as a group of twenty.”

Where to Have Your Small Hen Do

A small hen party works just as well anywhere, so pick whichever destination suits the group, whether that is a compact city for easy walking or somewhere with a big night out. Browse all our hen do destinations across the UK and Europe to find the right fit.

Small Hen Party FAQs

DIY craft kits, dance classes, smartphone treasure hunts, Dreamboys tickets and a cocktail bartender at your accommodation all work well for 6 to 10. If there are fewer of you, the DIY kits, tickets and mobile options are the easiest to book.
Most of our activities run from around six people, so a group of 6 to 10 can book almost everything. Some have a higher minimum group size; if your group is smaller we can usually still run them, you would just cover the minimum charge. DIY kits, Dreamboys tickets and a mobile bartender are the easiest options for a very small group.
Usually 6 to 10, which is the sweet spot for our activities since most run from around six. It is the ideal size for the bride-to-be and her closest friends.
Plenty. A cocktail bartender, DIY craft kits and a mobile pamper party all come to your cottage, apartment or hotel, so there are no taxis, no venue to book and you keep full control of the day. See the full range on our mobile hen party activities page.
Six to eight weeks is often enough for a small group, as you are not chasing big-group availability. For peak summer weekends or a specific venue, three months ahead is safer.
