21. Life Drawing – Art, Tunes, Champagne and… Nudes

Let the music, champagne and laughter flow as you discover your inner artist in a life drawing class. This unique experience is designed exclusively for your Hens Party, with a personal nude male model who promises not to be offended by any less than flattering artwork, or fits of giggles.
Your group will receive expert guidance from professional art teachers on recreating the male form, while sipping champagne and enjoying all your favourite songs. You can enjoy this experience in the surrounds of a dedicated art studio, or bring the art-party to you. Oh, and bring your cameras for a fun photo session with the model at the end of the class!

20. Male Revue Show – Gentlemen of the Night

Forget those memories of The Full Monty, you won’t want these guys to leave their hat on! This male cabaret performance is an immersive and interactive adults-only experience, set to impress with a spectacular music and light production, thrilling choreography and of course, audience participation. Your Hen will be treated like the Queen she is with a cocktail on arrival, and a special on-stage lapdance (but let’s keep that a surprise!). The winning combination of Australia’s hottest male strippers, stunning performances and a lavish venue, truly make this a night to remember.

19. Hens Scavenger Hunt – A Hens Party Classic

Who's ready to kick off a hens party with a bang? Our Ultimate Hens Party Scavenger Hunt is your ticket to an unforgettable hens night! With riddles and challenges that'll have you all in stitches, you and your squad will navigate through the city (or a location of your choice), hitting up to 3 bars along the way. The best part? The first team to finish gets bragging rights for the night (and possibly forever!).

18. Burlesque – Burlesque Baby

Be the starlettes of your very own Burlesque performance with this sexy and sassy Hens Party.
You’ll travel back in time for a fully immersive theme night, with your choice of traditional busty Burlesque, 1920’s Charleston flappers, groovy 1960s Go Go dancers or glamorous Vintage Cabaret.
Your hostess will meet you at your chosen venue and kick off the night with themed hair and make-up for the Hen, followed by games and prizes to get the party started. Then let the real fun begin with a guided dance class, before staging your very own burlesque show. Rehearsal for a wedding day flashmob perhaps?

17. Gin Tasting – Botanicals and Bridesmaids

Let the good times beGIN! With a gin and tonic in hand, your Hens Party will be guided on a personal distillery tour and private gin tasting. Don’t know your juniper berries from your citrus peels? Don’t worry. You’ll be treated to an insightful and entertaining masterclass explaining the distillation process, introducing the flavours and botanicals of each gin (with plenty of samples along the way for research purposes), and delving into the cheeky history of the prohibition era. And if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, the cocktails certainly will. This is a classy and fun Hens Day experience and it’s available day or night - because it’s always Gin O Clock!

16. Puppetry of the Penis – A Different Kind of Puppet Show

Show your appreciation for the performing arts (and male physique) with a private viewing of Puppetry of the Penis. That’s right! We’re bringing the famous stage show direct to you, performed live in your home, hotel room or another private venue.

You will be treated to front-row seats of this unique display of anatomical acrobatics and junk gymnastics, performed by the talented all-male puppeteers. Adding to the experience is audience participation, a Q&A session, group photos and a food and drinks package. 
We don’t want to reveal too much, other than to say the “Loch Ness Monster” does exist, you won’t want to eat the “Hamburger”, and don’t say we didn’t warn you about the “Wedding Ring”.

19. Archery Attack – Badass Babes with Bows

From Robin Hoods’ Maid Marian and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, to the red-haired Meridan in Disney Pixar’s Brave, Hollywood has embraced fearless females with bows and arrows. Now it’s your turn to bring the archer goddess dream to life, with your very own coloured bow, foam tipped arrow and… face guard.
True to its name, Archery Attack is a battle and you are the target. Your group will be thrown into the battlefield with only the inflatable obstacle course and your safety gear to protect you. And we make sure the Hen can’t hide with a target strapped to her back!

14. High Tea – Let Them Eat Cake

We could tell you all about the history and etiquette of high tea, which originated among England’s wealthiest classes in the 1840s. But why bore you with the details when there’s cake, cucumber sandwiches and French champagne waiting? This afternoon experience exudes elegance, from the fresh scones with cream and jam, to the classy reserved area just for your Hens Party inside the exquisite venue. This is the perfect experience for the Hen who loves the finer things in life, and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser for all of her guests. Who doesn’t love cake!

13. Silent Disco – Blow Wave and Bubbly

Are you someone who when you’re walking down the street with your headphones likes to bop along to the beat? What if you got all your besties together and were all doing that? Well, that’s the concept behind Silent Disco! It’s a private party just for you and your bride tribe! You all wear headphones and listen to some upbeat dance music ranging from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and hit the streets with the tour guide! The guide is there to provide fun commentary and take you on a walking tour like no other!

12. Paintball – Swap Pedicures for Paintballs

Don’t let the guys have all the fun! If a ladies day at the Day Spa sounds as entertaining as watching paint dry, the fast-paced action of the paintball battlefield might be more your style.
What better way to show your love for the Hen, than strapping a target to her back and arming everyone in your tribe with 300 paintballs - each!
Combining heart-pumping fun and a killer workout, the carbs won’t count when your pizza lunch is served. Best of all, you’ll leave energised and ready for a night of luxury after this unique day-time event.

11 Pole Dancing – Fit, Fun and Flirty

Ditch the gym for a day and give pole dancing a spin. In this fun and flirty private class, you’ll learn the basics of pole and perfect a cheeky routine, hand-picked from your selection of pole dancing, lap dancing or strip tease essentials.
You’re sure to nail your very own Showgirls moment, with secrets to achieving the sexiest moves revealed by your personal instructor.
Sip champagne on arrival for a confidence boost, before the special gift is revealed for the guest of honour (including a new bag of tricks for the honeymoon). Whether you’re new to the art of pole dancing, or an old hand, you’ll feel relaxed and ready for anything. And being a fully mobile experience, you can take the party to the pole studio, or it can come to you!

10. Fireman Life Drawing – The Glamorous Life

Get ready to unleash your inner artist and have a blast at your Hens Party with our unique mobile fireman life drawing class! Our personal nude male model promises not to take offence to any less-than-flattering artwork or giggles.

We'll bring the art party to you, so you can enjoy the experience in the comfort of your preferred location. Feel free to bring your own drinks and champagne to sip on while we make sure the music and laughter are flowing.

9. Axe Throwing – I’m a Lumber-lass and I’m Okay

There’s something about throwing axes that just gets the blood pumping, the girls laughing, and unleash the warrior woman in your bride. Trust us, at House of Hens we love it! Axe throwing is not just for burly men with bushy beards, Viking women have wielded axes since before it became a fun weekend activity.
A professional instructor will talk you through different throwing styles, how to hit that bullseye, and even run your group through some competitions and games. This unique experience is like no other.

8. Bottomless Brunch – Champagne Breakfast

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we couldn’t agree more.
Enjoy your beauty sleep before rolling out of bed for a bottomless brunch with your besties. Discuss the day’s game plan over all the smashed avo and eggs benny your heart (and appetite) desires. Of course, no bottomless brunch is complete without an endless drinks package and delicious cocktails. And you’ll receive the VIP treatment with an area reserved just for your party, with a DJ on-site ready to take your special requests and Hens Day dedications.

7. Spa Treatment – Blissful Beauty

A luxury day spa sets the scene for this Hens Day soirée, with a pamper package to satisfy even the most discerning damsel.
Treating your tribe to a blissful beauty treatment is one of the most luxurious ways to celebrate and spoil your Hen, leaving her feeling refreshed and ready for the big day. Select from a menu of luxury treatments including revitalising facials, therapeutic massage, sumptuous skin polishing, and deluxe manicures and pedicures. Best of all, you can customise the experience to suit your schedule, from a quick morning manicure, to a long, lavish day at the spa 

6. Winery tour – A Toast to Us

A day of wining and dining against a backdrop of rolling hills and grapevines carries an air of sophistication even the mother of the bride will love. But what happens next is up to you!
Keep it classy and brush up on your wine speak, or pop another cork and let the good times roll. There’s plenty of room to gather all the girls together, or spread out and hide the new in-laws from the novelty straws and X-rated games (There’s always one!) Our Hens Party Winery Tour allows you to soak up the sights, and drinks, from the comfort of a privately-chauffeured vehicle. So, slip on your rosé-coloured glasses, sit back and relax. We’re going to make this a day to remember! (Albeit a little hazy the next morning)

5. Horse Racing – Fasten Your Fascinator

Pull your favourite dress out of your closet, find yourself a fascinating fascinator, and head down to the track. With packages including, your own VIP area, a great view of the track, free-flowing bubbly and tasty canapes (or even a buffet lunch) this is the perfect way to celebrate with your hen. You can place some bets, cheer on the horses, and spend your winnings on a big night out with the hen. Although, at House of Hens, we know the day is more about dressing up, enjoying some sunshine, and laughing with your girls.

4. Cocktail Making – Shake, Stir, Sip

Cocktails with the girls have never looked (or tasted) this good! Take a seat in your very own private area of a renowned cocktail bar, and prepare to master the art of Mixology!
Enjoy cocktails and canapés as your professional bartender guides your group through every step of crafting the perfect classic cocktail. A great ice-breaker, the cocktail making class is a fun and relaxed way to start your girls night out. We recommended taking notes so you can use your new-found skill set on the bride’s big day. Your Hen will thank you for it!

3. Flower Crown Workshop – Flower Queen

Every Queen needs a crown, and flower crown workshops are a beautiful way to celebrate the bride-to-be. With gorgeous seasonal florals, greenery and vintage ribbons, a dedicated instructor will demonstrate designs and techniques to help you craft your very own flower crown. All flowers and materials are supplied - you just bring the bubbles and your creative flair. This glamorous and girly day makes for a gorgeous photo opportunity with the Hen, and can even be used as inspiration for the bridal party’s hairpieces. Available at a venue of your choice, this is a great option for including participants of all ages from flowergirls to Great Grandmas, while celebrating all things feminine and floral.

2. Bar Package - Where Everybody Knows Your Name
