There are lots of places in the UK where you can imagine having a great night out for your hen weekend. But when you think about the possibility of an Edinburgh Hen Do, you realise that this really could be the one. Anyone who has been to Edinburgh before will tell you that it has a charm, a beauty and an atmosphere all of its own, and these all come together to create one of the most perfect hen weekend destinations that you can possibly imagine.
There is a reason why this city is famous for being hugely popular with tourists from both the UK and abroad, and it is because it marries so many different things together in one perfect location. It is known for its beauty, its friendliness and its culture - after all, the theatre scene is one of the best in the UK, and the Edinburgh International Festival is one of the biggest arts festivals in the world.
Choosing the right base for your Edinburgh hen do depends on your group size and the "vibe" you’re after. Whether you want the grandeur of a historic home or the buzz of a trendy urban apartment, alongside the extensive selection of amazing hotels and apartments in and around Edinburgh we have two premier options that cater to every group whether there are 4 or 40 guests.
If you are looking for a classic Edinburgh hen party house with period features and plenty of space, Lux Life is the perfect choice. These flexible apartments allow you to book multiple units in the same building, making it ideal for large groups who want to stay together while maintaining some privacy. With four-poster beds and high ceilings, it’s the ultimate setting for a sophisticated celebration.
For groups who want to be in the heart of the city’s coolest suburb, our luxury Edinburgh hen apartments at Extravagance are unbeatable. Located in Leith with a tram stop right outside, you are only 10 minutes from the Royal Mile and the city’s best nightlife. These modern, split-level apartments are perfect for Edinburgh hen weekend accommodation, offering easy access to both the airport and the city centre.
With the accommodation sorted, you’ll want some entertaining activities to add extra value to your hen weekend – and that’s something always easily available in Edinburgh. We have over ninety activities available for your Edinburgh hen do, so no matter what your preference may be, you know that you’ll find some perfect options to fill your day with.
If you are looking for a “getting to know you all” activity for the first day (which is often a good idea if the hens are from different friend groups at different times of the hen’s life), then we cannot recommend the Afternoon Tea with Unlimited Prosecco enough. After all, who doesn’t like sandwiches, cakes, and as much prosecco as you are able to drink! A perfect Friday afternoon activity that lets you start as you mean to go on.
For a truly Scottish experience, why not try the Mini Highland Games? It’s hilarious fun and gets everyone competitive. This activity is a key part of our popular Scottish Experience Package.
Other good ice-breaker activities include a trip to an Escape Room, where you’ll all have to work together, or the “Insta Tour” of the city, where you’ll be taken around to the most photogenic sites in the city so you can show the world what a great time you are having.
With such a plethora of other activities at your fingertips as well, you can make the weekend as busy or relaxing as you would like. You can dance the day away, see who has the best cocktail making skills, sing your hearts out in a recording studio, go on a nice relaxing horse ride, or even drive a hovercraft if you fancy something different!
Activities are all well and good, but what an Edinburgh Hen Do absolutely has to get right are the nights out. Luckily, there is no finer city in which you could find yourself spending a night on the tiles. We do highly recommend that you ought to grab a meal from one of Edinburgh’s popular restaurants before heading out – and with options that range from Italian to Indian, Chinese to Chips, you’ll find somewhere that suits the group and your budget easily.
Then it’s on to the drinking. The biggest problem with a night out on an Edinburgh Hen Do is that there are way more bar and club options than you can possibly visit in one weekend. If you fancy some inside knowledge, however, we have a selection of very knowledgeable guides who can take you for a Guided Bar Tour to show you all of the best nightspots – we recommend this as a great first night activity, to give you a nice idea of where you plan to drink for the rest of the weekend.
Edinburgh has the variety and the quality of nightlife which will give you an absolutely perfect night out. Whether you choose to end the night drinking cocktails in a popular bar or grooving away on the dancefloor of one of the most popular clubs you’ve ever been to, your night in Edinburgh is not one to be forgotten in a hurry – unless you’ve drunk so much that you can’t remember anything at all!

You can get to Edinburgh no matter how you travel. Driving up? The journey is easy and well-maintained regardless of where you are coming from. Travelling by train? It’s served from most major cities without you needing to change whatsoever. And if you are from the opposite end of the country, we’d recommend jumping on a plane. After all, it doesn’t take long and it’s so much quicker than any other form of transport.
