Where is good to go for a hen do?

Think about what your friend enjoys most before choosing a destination. Some brides want relaxation with massages and pools, while others prefer dancing, shopping or outdoor adventures. A short train or coach ride keeps costs down and makes it easier for older relatives or friends with young children to attend.

For a city break, choose a place with a good base for group meals and evening plans. A countryside house or barn works well if you want privacy and a relaxed pace. Many venues offer packages that include accommodation, food and activities, which can take the stress out of planning.

Remember that the hen do is about celebrating your friend, not about the most expensive trip. Consider a staycation or a local overnight stay if budget is a concern. Ask everyone early about dates and travel needs so you can find a time and place that works for the whole group.
