Bristol is one of those places that we tend to find does exist on people’s “possible hen do destination” lists, but it’s not normally near the top, and that is a crying shame as a Bristol Hen Do can be one of the best hen dos you’ve ever been on. While Bristol may not (on the surface) be as well-known as a hen do destination as its next door neighbour Bath, we are here to tell you that a Bristol Hen Do will absolutely smash any expectations you may have.
It is an absolutely phenomenal location for your hen do – a fact that is reflected by just how many groups we send there every year. In fact, it’s been one of our top destinations for several years now. It is one of the friendliest and most welcoming cities we’ve ever visited, so a Bristol Hen Do will be a hen do filled with warmth and welcome, as well as pure excitement.
Where to stay? Where to start. A Bristol Hen Do can be of any shape or size, and that sort of variety is replicated in the accommodation options. If you are the sort of person who wants to stay in a chain hotel in the dead centre of the city, that can be arranged. If you prefer a cosy B&B, that’s also perfectly doable.
But by far our most popular place for a Bristol Hen Do is a private Hen Party House. This gives you the entire run of the place for the duration of your weekend. For large groups, we recommend the vibrant The Hampton, located in the bohemian heart of the city. If you need space for a massive celebration, check out The Retreats, a huge complex sleeping up to 32 guests with double hot tubs!
For those who want a mix of party and luxury, BB Party Pad is a standout choice, featuring a pool table, fire pits, and a large decking area. Staying in a house means that pre-drinks can be drunk, and food served, all from the comfort of your very own sofa!
We offer a huge range of over 80 activities in Bristol – almost anything you can think of, we can arrange! So whether you want to get the drinks flowing with a session of Cocktail Making, shake your thing with a Dance Class or take your artistic side out for a spin with our Nude Life Drawing, Bristol's got you covered.
If you are staying somewhere like the cottages, then a large number of activities can come to you, meaning that you don’t even have to leave the house to experience the perfect Bristol hen Do. Or, if you want to explore the city, why not try our Dancing All Day Package which combines a workshop with nightlife entry, or perhaps a little cocktail action is wanted which our Henhouse Masterclass package covers nicely.
Sometimes just the idea of going to a city can put people off, as they may worry about the practicalities of being somewhere so big. Luckily that’s not an issue with a Bristol Hen Do. The centre where you will be spending the vast majority of your time is perfectly crafted for you to get across it on foot. In short, this means you’ll be able to get from place to place without spending hours in traffic jams or on public transport.
When it comes to the Nightlife, a Bristol Hen Do really has it all. If you are the kind of group who enjoy a quiet drink to start the night off in a local pub, then that’s what you will start with. If you fancy kicking it up a notch and enjoying a few cocktails in a high-class bar, you’ll have trouble picking one from the numerous options available to you.
Fancy a quick flutter in a casino? No problem. Want to see some beautiful men dancing just for you? Easy. And then the highlight - dancing the night away in a busy club. No Bristol Hen Do would be complete without this, and thanks to the numerous options, it’s not an issue in the slightest.
