10 Essential Leicester Hen Do Ideas & Activities

Updated December 2025

As one of the oldest cities in England, Leicester has occupied its position on the River Soar for over two millennia. For your Hen do it has it all: fantastic shopping, a vibrant nightlife, and a wide variety of activities to give you and your hens a weekend to remember.

Here are our 10 essential ideas for a legendary Leicester hen do.

1. Cocktail Making Masterclass

The Vibe: Shaking & Sipping.

A classic hen party staple! Head to a popular bar like *Revolution* or *Las Iguanas* for a private masterclass. You’ll be shown how to create some absolutely amazing drinks by a trained mixologist. It’s interactive, fun, and the perfect way to start your evening.

2. Lip Sync Battle

The Vibe: Diva Moment.

If the bride loves to perform, a **Lip Sync Battle** is a must. You’ll learn choreography to your favourite anthems (think Beyoncé or Spice Girls) and battle it out to see who is the ultimate pop star. It’s high energy and guaranteed to get everyone laughing.

3. Bubble Mayhen

The Vibe: Bouncing Fun.

For a daytime activity that gets everyone moving, try **Bubble Mayhen**. You’ll play hilarious games while encased in a giant inflatable bubble. It’s less about skill and more about bouncing into your friends! It’s a great icebreaker.

4. Private Chef & Cheeky Butler

The Vibe: Luxury Night In.

If you have booked a large house or apartment, why not have one of our talented **Private Chefs** prepare a fantastic Italian, French, or Asian meal for you in the comfort of your own space? To spice things up, we’ll also provide a **Cheeky Butler** to serve you the meal and keep your glasses topped up!

5. Perfume Making

The Vibe: Creative & Classy.

For those who want something a little more unique, why not try your hand at **Perfume Making**? You’ll create your signature fragrance under the guidance of an expert. It’s a lovely, relaxed activity that gives you a keepsake to take home.

6. Inflatable Games

The Vibe: It's a Knockout.

If it’s summertime, this could mean **Inflatable Games**, taking the activities from the 80s TV show "It’s a Knockout". It’s all about inflatable obstacle courses, foam, and fun! It’s perfect for active groups who don’t mind getting a bit messy.

7. Murder Mystery Evening

The Vibe: Whodunnit Drama.

One of our most popular options is the **Murder Mystery Evening**, where professional actors present you with a whodunit which you have to solve over a three-course meal. It’s interactive, engaging, and a great way to bond as a group.

8. Spa Day

The Vibe: Relax & Recharge.

After your exertions, why not visit one of the many **Spas** around Leicester for some pampering? Take a swim, visit the sauna or the steam room, and treat yourself to a massage or facial. It’s the perfect way to recover from the night before.

9. Guest List Nightclub Entry

The Vibe: VIP Treatment.

Saturday night is the big night! Leicester has a vibrant nightlife scene. We can organise **Guest List Admission** at top local nightspots so you can skip the queues and walk straight in like VIPs. Whether you want cheesy pop or chart hits, we have you covered.

10. Stay in City Centre Apartments

The Vibe: Home From Home.

Instead of splitting up into hotel rooms, consider booking **Self-Catering Apartments**. Staying together means you can have pre-drinks in your own lounge and get ready together without being separated. It’s often more cost-effective and fun!
