All bookable in the UK and ordered by how well they go down with hen groups. The options get wilder abroad, see below.
-
Pimp That Penis
The one the bride-to-be will not see coming. The hens decorate ceramic willies with glitter, paint and feathers while an art tutor keeps it daft. Our fastest-growing hen activity, and everyone takes their masterpiece home.
-
Bubble Mayhen
Giant bubble suits, relay races and a half-time Mr & Mrs quiz. The hens bounce, bump and roll around, and it is impossible to take a serious photo.
-
Olympic Shames
A grown-up sports day full of silly innuendo games, with tutus in team colours. Made for hen parties who want to be competitive and a bit silly.
-
Silent Disco Tour
Headphones on, the girls dance through the streets on a guided tour. Totally unique, a great daytime warm-up, and everyone picks their own channel.
-
Prosecco Bike
A group bike with fizz on board. The hens pedal, sip prosecco and see the city, around £46pp across a group of 12. Daytime fun that doubles as the photos.
-
Combat Archery Tag
Dodgeball but with bows and foam-tipped arrows, with bunkers and barriers. The latest archery craze, indoor and weatherproof so it runs whatever the weather.
-
Body Painting
A semi-naked model, all the materials and an art tutor on hand. A cheekier spin on life drawing for hens who fancy something a bit more daring.
-
Goofy Games
Wacky It's-a-Knockout-style inflatable games and challenges, with fancy dress for the hen. Big, messy and made for larger hen parties.
-
Lip Sync Battle
Two teams, props and a choreographed routine to your chosen songs. The hens battle it out, and the dramatic walk-ins alone make the day.
-
Art of Seduction
Learn flirty techniques with whips, paddles and blindfolds in a private city-centre room, male model included. One for hen parties who want to push the boat out.

How to Plan an Unusual Hen Party
The hen dos that get talked about long after the wedding are the ones with a surprise in them, not another round of the usual. Our hen party planners book these every week, so here is how to get it right.
Pick the one that suits the hen
Start with the bride-to-be, not the shock factor. A group who love a giggle will be made up with Pimp That Penis, while a laid-back hen might prefer a prosecco bike and the photos that come with it. The unusual activity that lands is the one that feels like her.
One standout beats a packed schedule
One memorable activity beats a day packed with gimmicks. Make one activity the clear centrepiece, then leave plenty of room for food, drinks and catching up around it. That balance is the bit everyone talks about afterwards.
Balance the daytime and the night out
Most hen parties pair one unusual daytime activity with a more traditional evening. That mix keeps everyone happy, she gets her unique experience and the group still gets the classic night out.
“The best hen dos have one moment nobody saw coming. Booking something a little different, like Pimp That Penis or a prosecco bike, is what turns a good weekend into the story everyone retells.”
Emily
Group Booking Team Leader
