Alternative Hen Party Questions Answered
What makes alternative hen parties different?
If your bride's tired of the usual spa days and cocktail classes, alternative hen do ideas give you something genuinely different. Think painting ceramic penises, bouncing around in bubble suits, line dancing in cowboy hats, or dancing through city streets with headphones on. These are the activities that create brilliant photos and stories you'll still be laughing about years later.
We've organised thousands of hen parties since 2007, and alternative activities have become hugely popular. Most groups mix one unusual daytime experience with traditional evening celebrations, perfect balance for keeping everyone happy.
How much do alternative hen activities cost?
Alternative hen party activities typically cost £20 to £40pp. Popular choices include Pimp That Penis (£34pp, one of our fastest growing activities), Line Dancing (£26pp, massively popular as a different dance class theme), Life Drawing (£28pp), and Bubble Mayhen (£27pp).
Everything's included: equipment, instructors, private venues, and usually bubbly for the bride. Individual payments are made easy, and all bookings include ABTA protection.
Which alternative activities work for mixed age groups?
When you've got mums and nans joining, Line Dancing, Ceramic Painting, and themed cocktail experiences work brilliantly. Liverpool's prison themed cocktail bar and Chester's race day packages also go down well with mixed ages.
Surprisingly, Life Drawing and Pimp That Penis work better with older guests than you'd expect. After 18 years running these activities, we've learned that the experiences you think might be "too much" often become the biggest hits with the whole group.
How far in advance should you book?
Book alternative hen activities around three to four months before your weekend. Popular unusual experiences like Bubble Mayhen, Silent Disco tours, and Prosecco Bike rides fill up quickly for Friday and Saturday slots, especially in peak season from May to September.
What are the most popular alternative hen activities?
Right now, Pimp That Penis is one of our fastest growing activities. Groups love the hilarious painting session and taking home their ceramic creations. Line Dancing has become massively popular as a different twist on dance classes, while Bubble Mayhen continues to be a top seller for active groups.
City specific favourites include Liverpool's Prosecco Bike tours and Alcotraz prison cocktail bar, Cardiff's Silent Disco experiences, and Chester's race day packages.

Most groups book one alternative activity for the daytime and something more traditional for the evening. That mix works really well, everyone gets what they want.

Planning Your Alternative Hen Weekend
