Why have a Glamping Hen Do?
Like we’ve mentioned, glamping has become a massively popular way to get away from the hustle and bustle for a couple of nights. Many get put off by the idea of camping – Trying to wedge guide poles into the ground in 90 mile-an-hour winds? No thank you. As a result, a lot of people look at booking holiday homes and lodges, but that can leave a massive hole in your bank account. That’s why a glamping hen party is the perfect in-between; you get all the comfort and facilities you’d normally find at a hotel but in a more solid structure, such as a tipi or a yurt. Many are rigged up with electricity, lighting and comfy beds too, so what’s not to love?
