Skuna Hot Tub Boat

At first, we were sceptical about this. We'd heard about one man who'd gone in a hot tub boat on a date and wound up having rocks hurled at him in his trunks. But the reality of the experience was much less dramatic and a lot more fun. We floated down the Thames in the sunshine and disembarked with our blood levels at 90% rosé. Boats from £175.

Barry's Bootcamp

OK, so, we know that Barry's Bootcamp might not immediately scream hen do. But we're very conscious that not every bride wants to get battered to celebrate her upcoming nuptials. At Barry's Bootcamp, groups of hens can hire the studio for themselves for the PT session of a lifetime and work out with whatever music they want, followed by energising protein shakes at the Fuel Bar after class. Book a private event here.

Blame Gloria Drag Brunch

Blame Gloria's Divas Bottomless Brunch has to be the booziest boozy brunch we've ever been to.

Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular

Often the word 'spectacular' is misused, but in the case of 'Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular' at the Empress Museum in West Brompton, it's the only word to describe it. The circus show, inspired by the 2017 film The Greatest Showman starring Zendaya and Hugh Jackman, is the perfect evening entertainment for you and your hens. It features an ensemble of incomprehensibly talented performers, feel-good musical moments and a lot of toned physiques.
