What makes a unique and fun-filled hen party?

What are YOU looking for??

Hen parties have been happening for many generations and have evolved and refined over the years. There is no right or wrong answer to what works. It’s all down to the bride-to-be and group of friends. The heart of a hen party is celebration and fun, although everyone’s idea of that may be slightly different.

Rather than google searching unique hen party ideas or what is trending in hen party activities for 2023, why don’t you start with speaking to the key decision makers, the bride-to-be, maid of honour and bridesmaids?

You can start by discussing what you want the weekend to feel like, action-packed or chilled and relaxed. Share experiences of previous hen parties, so you know what you want and what you definitely want to avoid repeating!

Does the bride-to-be love the water or often feel the need for speed? This info is excellent for starting to create your special weekend, which by all accounts, will be unique to you and your friends. If your girl loves a festival vibe, then go with it. Creating this type of atmosphere works brilliantly for hen dos and isn’t that hard to recreate on any budget.

Once you have the essence and theme of the weekend, everything else will slot in place. Location and budgets can be challenging, and you may want to keep that in mind. But you can stay true to the theme of the weekend or night and adjust elements to make it right for you and your group.

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
