It can be really hard to pick your Hen Do Destination. You end up considering loads of possibilities, and it’s really tricky to narrow that down. This often means that certain destinations are automatically forgotten for no real reason, and I’m here to make sure that Birmingham doesn’t suffer that same fate. As the UK’s second largest city, Birmingham has everything you could ever want for a hen do, and all at great value.
The advantages to a Birmingham Hen Do are many and varied. As a big city, it obviously has the infrastructure, the accommodation, and the desire to have as many visitors as possible. The entire place is designed around visitors, meaning that everything from public transport to the huge selection of restaurants and bars is aimed to satisfy any group, which is perfect for your weekend away.
One of the most important things for any hen weekend is to have a home base that everyone can relax in. Luckily, Birmingham has every form of accommodation you can think of available, and all within easy reach of the city centre.
If you fancy putting your feet up in a luxurious spa hotel with facilities and treatments on-site, then why not book that? Maybe you don’t fancy a hotel at all, but you’d prefer some accommodation where you get a bit of living space and can all chill out together? If that’s the case then City Centre Apartments would be perfect for your Birmingham Hen Do.
Having dealt with the accommodation part of the puzzle, the next thing to look at are the activities. There are more than ninety activities available in Birmingham, granting you the flexibility to experience a perfect hen do no matter what your taste is.
1. Cocktail Making: This is one of the most popular activities for any hen do, and Birmingham is no exception. If you enjoy drinking cocktails, you’d enjoy making them! That’s what you get to do on our cocktail making classes – after it, you’ll be a demon with daiquiris and a master of mojitos.
2. Olympic Shames: A newer activity, but proving to be hugely popular, this comic Olympics event is a great way to be competitive with the other girls. You are split into teams and try desperately to be the best at events that would never be seen in the real Olympics, such as “Twerk Off” and “Do your balls hang low”.
3. Recording Studio: This one is a must if the hen is a drama queen, diva, or just loves to perform. You’ll all get into a recording studio together and record a version of one of her favourite songs!

Nights out in Birmingham are something that is out of this world. There are so many bars that you will never make it through them all in one night! The trick with any Birmingham Hen Do is to plan a route through the many venue options (which we can help you with).
The mix of bars and clubs will keep the party going long into the early hours of the morning. Whether you head to the famous Broad Street for superclubs or the trendy Digbeth for something cooler, Birmingham has it all.
