8 Hens Party Activities for an Unforgettable Night

Some brides want a wild weekend. Others want laughter, connection, and something a bit more special than dinner and drinks. No matter what kind of vibe you’re chasing, picking the right hens party activities can set the whole night up for success.

From cheeky games to classy experiences, here are eight of the best ways to make your hens night one to remember.

1. Private cocktail-making class

A hens party and cocktails go together like espresso and martini. A private mixology class gives you a fun activity that also doubles as drinks service. You’ll learn how to shake, stir, and sip your way through signature cocktails, and the bride might even get to create one of her own.

• Great for groups of 8 to 20

• Ideal icebreaker if everyone doesn’t know each other

• Options for mobile setups or hosted venues

Book a cocktail masterclass with House of Hens and let the good times pour

2. Life drawing session

If you're after hens party activities that mix cheeky and classy, this one's a winner. Life drawing sessions feature a professional nude model, a fun host to guide you through, and all the laughs you'd expect. Whether you're a talented artist or a complete beginner, it’s about the experience, not the art.

• BYO drinks welcome at many venues

• Great balance of fun and relaxed

• No prior skills needed (and often funnier without them)

Grab your sketch pads and let House of Hens organise a life drawing experience to remember

3. Flower crown workshop

Not every hens night needs to be wild. A flower crown workshop offers a calm, creative way to spend time together, especially if you’re planning a daytime event or pairing it with a picnic. You’ll use fresh blooms and guided instructions to make a wearable keepsake.

• Suits indoors or outdoors

• Ideal pre-wedding bonding activity

• Everyone leaves with something beautiful

4. Scavenger hunt through the city

If you want energy, movement, and loads of group photos, a city scavenger hunt delivers. This hens party activity has you chasing clues, doing funny challenges, and documenting everything as you go. Split into teams or stick together — the silliness builds with every stop.

• Fully customisable to suit any location

• Easy to theme around the bride’s interests

• Great way to explore the city

House of Hens offers custom scavenger hunt packages that do the planning for you

5. Wine tasting with a twist

Whether you’re in wine country or sipping at home, this one’s a crowd-pleaser. Wine tasting becomes a proper hens party activity when you add a host, a game component, or a blindfold challenge. Think flavour guessing, palate cleansers, and plenty of laughs as people try to sound fancy.

• Can be classy, chaotic or both

• Works well indoors for winter events

• Food pairings optional but recommended

Sip, swirl, and celebrate with a tailored wine tasting from House of Hens

6. Themed dance class

From Beyoncé to burlesque, a dance class is an all-in hens night crowd-mover. You’ll learn a choreographed routine with a professional instructor, then perform it together (sometimes in full costume). It’s a fun way to get people out of their shells, and a killer warm-up before heading out.

• Heaps of theme options to match your bride

• Perfect pre-party energy boost

• Can be run at a studio or booked for your space

Shake it off with a private dance class by House of Hens. The playlist’s all yours

7. Mobile pamper session

Planning a hens party at home or in an Airbnb? Bring the spa to you. A mobile pamper session can include everything from facials and massages to mani-pedis and bubbly. Perfect for winding down after a big day, or for brides who want something luxurious without leaving the house.

• Ideal for all ages

• Suits mixed generations or low-key groups

• Can double as pre-night glam

8. DIY gin-blending experience

Perfect for lovers of botanical spirits, this activity lets you create your own gin blend under the guidance of a pro. You’ll get to taste, mix, and pour your own creation, often with the option to label and take it home. It’s educational, boozy, and perfect for smaller groups who want something different.

• Suits intimate groups

• Memorable keepsake (bottle of your own gin!)

• Feels premium without the premium price tag

How does a hen's party work?

Most of the time, guests pay their own way, and often chip in to cover the bride’s share. The organiser usually collects money beforehand and confirms what’s included, activities, food, drink, accommodation if needed.

What normally happens at a hen party?
There might be games, dress-ups, gifts, food, and drinks, but the best hens parties are planned around the bride. Some are super tame, others are wild. It’s about celebrating her, with her favourite people.
