Unlike the traditional centuries-old bachelor party, Hen nights are a relatively modern conception, their popularity only really augmenting during the 1980′s. However, today they are the norm, and it’s almost expected of the bride-to-be to have a wild night out with her closest friends. There are so many venues that cater for such nights, and whilst some brides may chose to go abroad, the best Hen party destinations are actually here, in the UK.
Owing to it’s size, London is an obvious choice, with a bar or club situated on almost every street. Proud Cabaret in The City offers exceptional deals to large group bookings, especially when booked in plenty of advance. The underground venue is rich in 1940′s decadence, and the burlesque dinner show surrenders to a club after 11pm on the weekends. Hen’s get two free cocktails, and plenty of other perks if they dress up in true cabaret style.
However, hotels in London are often pricey, so heading to another city, for example Bristol, is advisable. The YHA hostel is located in the city centre right in the heart of the clubbing district. Rooms range from as little as ten pounds per night, which leaves you with more money to spend on other necessities, like drink and food. Moreover, the selection of party venues here is no less promising, ranging from traditional clubs to more unusual places. Thekla is a perfect example of the latter. It’s a club, but with one marked difference- it’s situated in a boat on the River Avon!
It has long been known that Brighton is the epicentre of fun and entertainment in the UK, and this city has been host to some of the best Hen nights around. The Adonis Cabaret show is very different from the aforementioned show in London. Located in the Oceana club, this night offers seven rooms of unbeatable cabaret, including comedy, drag acts, male strippers and more!
The internet is rife with deals that combine hotels with free entry to clubs all over the country. Many clubs will often allow free entry to large groups when booked in advance, so it’s best to contact the venues directly to get more information on their group policies. With this in mind, what better excuse than to contact all of your friends and relatives and invite them on a truly unforgettable night out, taking advantage of the increase in numbers.
