Looking for the perfect city escape for your friend’s hen do? Here is our pick of the best hen party destinations in the UK.

The best hen dos are exciting and filled with fun activities, and what could be more thrilling than visiting somewhere new? There are plenty of UK cities that you may not have explored before. And here is our pick of the best hen party destinations in Britain:

Glasgow

For you northern gals, Glasgow is the city to be seen in. Glasgow is known for its great clubbing, and party atmosphere, making it the perfect place for a girl’s night out on the town. And with more than 1,000 bars, clubs and restaurants you can guarantee to get some cheap cocktails.

Make sure to spend a day shopping, and relax with a spa trip, or if you’re looking for something more active you can always make your way out of the city to the nearby countryside for some white water rafting or quad biking.

Bristol

Bristol is one of the UK’s biggest cities, but is often over-looked when it comes to hen and stag parties due to its short distance to the capital, London. But Bristol is a great central location for those who live in Wales or the south of England, and has great transport links, so is well worth a visit.

Sail down the Avon river, head to Bristol Zoo or visit Cabot Circus centre before making a pub crawl through the city centre. There is never a dull moment in Brizzle!

Brighton

For a seaside escape with the tranquillity of the sand, sea and maybe some sun, plus the nightlife of a bustling city, head to the south of England and Brighton.

Brighton is known as the gay capital of the UK, so make sure to catch one of the amazing drag shows or shop for some unique items at the many boutique stores that line the streets here. Brighton is ‘the London by the sea’ so there are hundreds of hen party activities to choose from.

London

From one capital to another, London is the largest and most diverse city in the UK and therefore is an obvious choice for a hen weekend away.

Whether you take in the hip, indie culture of Camden, the classy waterfront of the Chelsea Embankment or the colour of the West End, there is no place quite like it.

Liverpool

Liverpool is known for its musical culture, and therefore is the perfect place to enjoy a live show. After all, it is the home of the Beatles!

Take a walk around Albert Dock to clear your mind or get a little culture with a tour around St. George’s Hall. Or there’s always our favourite – the view from Radio City Tower.

Swansea

Swansea is known as one of the best nights out in Wales, it is even often preferred to Cardiff, thanks to its affordable prices and the famous Wind street, which is lined with all the best bars and clubs.

Stay in the city centre and make a point of adventuring out to the beautiful Gower coast or the Mumbles during the day. And at night hit the water front down at the marina, for a meal with a view.

Whether you live up north or down in the south, there is a nearby city waiting for you hens to arrive. Make the most of your hen weekend and pick one of these great destinations.

Are you planning a hen weekend in Swansea? Then book affordable accommodation at the Dragon Hotel. With a city centre location and great amenities it is the perfect place to rest your head after a long hard day of sipping cocktails and hen party games.
