Vintage Makeover
With many weddings having a vintage/retro feel you can now add a trendy touch of yesteryear to the hen party. The hair and make-up experts will create the look from any era, 40’s victory rolls to 80’s power dressing. Once the transformation is complete a professional photographer will take group and individual photos of the whole party. A wonderful keepsake for the nearly-wed and her guests.

Glamping
Glamping is rapidly becoming one of the biggest hen party trends. Yurts, tipis, cabins, lodges all with luxurious interiors and mod cons such as wood burning stoves and fully equipped kitchens. Creative hens can even build their own mini-festival (HenFest) dedicated to the bride-to-be for extra laughs with hog roasts, live bands and games. With a sprinkle of creative thinking and help from the hens it’s surprisingly easy to set-up your own mini festival on a simple budget.

Orient Express
The ultimate in hen party luxury, hens will travel overnight on the world’s most famous train London-Paris-Venice. At Venice, the party will be met by their own private launch which will transport them across the Venetian Lagoon to a top hotel for an overnight stay including spa treatments and a shopping trip, again in their own private launch. This really is the trip of a lifetime and something the bride and her hens will remember for years to come.
