SPA BREAK
If you and your hen party are looking to
simply luxuriate in a spa, Bath would seem
like an obvious choice – being the original
spa city. Possibly the most luxurious hotel
in the city is the Royal Crescent, situated in
Bath’s famous Georgian crescent. The spa
and bathhouse includes a treatment room,
relaxation pool and garden, which is the
perfect setting to enjoy a glass of Champagne.

DINNER WITH
A DIFFERENCE
Some hens are happy with a good
meal accompanied by a decent
wine. But if you want to add a
twist (or push the boat out)
without scrimping on quality, try
the newly opened Grand Duchess
barge. It’s the second offering
from London Shell Co, which
specialises in seafood but also
British classics and fine liquor.

According to Bella Scarman at
party planners Hen Heaven, the
seventh most popular hen do
experience involves gin. The
Distillery is a four-storey pub,
restaurant and guesthouse, but
also the only working distillery in
the centre of London, it produces
Portobello Road Gin. The venue
also offers The Ginstitute, which
provides group participation,
such as gin blending.

THE GIN EXPERIENCE
The only rules when
planning music at a hen
is it must be fun, throwback
and feel good. Ticking
off the list is Clapham
Common’s South West Four.
Performing at the south
London festival this August
are Craig David, Tinie
Tempah, Plan B, Basement
Jaxx, Wiley and Example.
