Hen do planning can be a pain, especially when it comes to selecting your destination. After all, there are lots of cities that spring instantly to mind as options, but it’s the hidden gems that can really turn out to be the most memorable options, and an Ipswich hen do will definitely be memorable. This charming Suffolk town has everything you need, whether your focus is on exciting daytime activities or bustling nightlife, an Ipswich Hen Do is an option you really ought to consider.
Ipswich is a town steeped in history, with its cobbled streets and picturesque waterfront providing a beautiful backdrop that is perfect for any celebration. But beyond its historical charm lies a vibrant town brimming with activities, nightlife, and dining options ideal for a hen do. It’s small but perfectly well formed, meaning that you won’t spend hours travelling from place to place, instead being able to kick back and really enjoy the activities, the bars and more.
Finding the right place to stay is key to ensuring your Ipswich hen do runs perfectly. Luckily, there are a wide range of options to suit every group size, budget and requirement.
Obviously, hotels are a popular option – giving you comfort, reliability and being well located to ensure that it’s never more than a staggering distance to get back to your bed. But the real secret to an amazing Ipswich hen do is the Luxury Party Houses available nearby.
Choosing a private property allows you to build a home base for you and the girls to relax in. For large groups, we highly recommend Meadowbrook Farm. This massive property sleeps up to 28 guests and features a games room and hot tub, making it a destination in itself. Alternatively, for a stylish stay with a large garden and hot tub, check out River Hall, which sleeps up to 20 guests in total comfort.
Daytime activities in the picturesque town of Ipswich are both plentiful and exciting. For some ladies, it’s all about the relaxation, so a trip to a spa or wellness centre can be an ideal option. Whether it’s just to chill out and use the facilities or whether you are after full packages and the ultimate pamper, you’ll find exactly what you want.
Alternatively, if you are after something to burn a bit more energy, why not consider one of our hugely popular Dance Classes? Whatever style you fancy, you’ll learn from one of our expert teachers, so just let your feet do the work and enjoy yourselves! Other energetic options for your Ipswich Hen Do could include something sporty like the classic Old School Sports Day, or Bubble Mayhen, where you all compete in a selection of games while encased in Mini Zorb balls!
Food is an essential part of any celebration, and Ipswich has a fantastic selection of restaurants and eateries to suit all tastes. The most famous and popular option for any Ipswich Hen Do is to book a meal at one of the Waterfront Restaurants. This selection of eateries encompasses a range of cuisines and gives you a beautiful view over the water as you enjoy their food.
Another hugely popular hen do option is, of course, Afternoon Tea. This can come in many forms, with everything from the classic through to pairing with prosecco or champagne. Alternatively, if you really want to push the boat out, then the Bottomless Brunch (afternoon tea’s rowdier cousin) is always an option as well.
When the sun sets on your day of fun, you’ll find that Ipswich transforms into a lively hub of bars, pubs, and clubs, offering plenty of options to suit any hen party vibe. Cocktail Bars are, of course, a must for your Ipswich Hen Do, whether you just want to go for a drink, or whether you want a full on masterclass in making your own cocktails, we can arrange it for you.
