6 Hens Party Ideas Brisbane Locals Love

Planning a hens party in Brisbane? Lucky you. This city has sunshine, skyline views, riverfront venues and enough activities to fill an entire weekend with memories the bride will actually remember. Whether your hen is into classy cocktails or cheeky surprises, Brisbane has something for every mood and budget. Here's how to make it unforgettable.


Bottomless brunch with bubbles


Kick off the day with flowing drinks, tasty share plates and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments. Brisbane’s brunch scene is full of rooftop bars and cosy hideaways where the prosecco never stops pouring.

Perfect for hens who love food, fashion and catching up without screaming over loud music.

Plan your bottomless brunch with House of Hens and we’ll book your spot, sort the payment, and even throw in a few extras.

Why this idea works

  • Great for: Glam squads and chatty hens who love a long lunch

  • Works best: Midday start with sunshine and selfies

  • Vibe: Bubbly, stylish, perfect for Insta stories

  • Suits groups who: Want a relaxed kickoff before the big night

  • Bride type: The foodie who loves a luxe venue and a photo moment



Erotic pottery


If you’ve ever watched
Ghost and thought “yeah but let’s make it unhinged,” erotic pottery might be your perfect hens party idea in Brisbane. You’ll sit down with air-dry clay, a few wines, and the freedom to sculpt whatever masterpiece your group chat dares you to.

Led by an actual pottery coach (who will absolutely keep a straight face no matter what chaos you create), this activity is equal parts creative, chaotic and hilarious. You might leave with a sculpture worthy of a museum. You’ll definitely leave with sore cheeks from laughing.

Why this idea works

  • Great for: Crafty hens with a bold sense of humour

  • Works best: As a quirky afternoon session to set the tone

  • Vibe: Hilariously inappropriate, but also kind of wholesome

  • Suits groups who: Want a new spin on the typical hens format

  • Bride type: The wild card who says “let’s just see what happens”



Fireman life drawing


It’s creative. It’s cheeky. It involves a shirtless fireman and a sketchpad. If your bride is up for a few laughs (and doesn’t mind a bit of blush), this one ticks all the boxes.

This is one of the most loved hens party ideas Brisbane has on offer, and it’s mobile, so we can bring the art class to your Airbnb, venue or backyard.

Book your fireman life drawing session now with House of Hens and we’ll supply the model, materials and good vibes.

Why this idea works

  • Great for: Cheeky crews with a creative streak

  • Works best: In the late afternoon with a glass of bubbly

  • Vibe: Artsy meets saucy with just enough blushes to keep it fun

  • Suits groups who: Want laughs without leaving the venue

  • Bride type: The one who loves a story to tell later



Private boat cruise


Sail the Brisbane River in style with your own private boat. Sip cocktails, crank the playlist and soak up those skyline views while the bride soaks up the attention.

It’s the kind of luxury hens party idea Brisbane locals keep on repeat, especially in the warmer months.

Let House of Hens organise your Brisbane boat cruise, complete with drinks, entertainment and a stress-free itinerary.

Why this idea works

  • Great for: Groups who want sunshine, cocktails and water views
  • Works best: Mid to late afternoon, cruising into sunset
  • Vibe: Relaxed and luxurious, with plenty of space to spread out
  • Suits groups who: Can’t agree on a bar, but love an open-air option
  • Bride type: The water baby who always picks the beach over the city

Pop-up picnic in the park


Low-key, high impact. Settle into a luxe setup at New Farm Park or along the South Bank, complete with cushions, platters and bubbles. It’s chill, photogenic and surprisingly affordable.

This is one of those hens party ideas Brisbane locals go for when they want laid-back luxury without the nightclub hangover.

Book your Brisbane picnic with House of Hens and let us do the heavy lifting.

Why this idea works

  • Great for: Chill crews who love a boho vibe and pretty setups

  • Works best: Daytime with sunshine, florals, and a camera roll full of pics

  • Vibe: Relaxed, photo-friendly, and full of grazing board energy

  • Suits groups who: Want to actually chat and soak up the moment

  • Bride type: The aesthetic queen who’s already picked her wedding hashtag



Cocktail class with flair


Learn to mix, muddle and shake with the pros. Whether it’s hosted in a private venue or at your accommodation, this is hands-on, interactive and very tasty.

Ideal for hens who want something a little more elevated than a pub crawl but still want to keep spirits high.

Plan a Brisbane cocktail class with House of Hens and enjoy a night that tastes as good as it looks.

Why this idea works

  • Great for: Fancy hens who want to sip in style
  • Works best: Late afternoon into early evening
