Hen Night's

Hen nights used to be a visit to a club with hunky stripper, or a pub crawl wearing fancy dress in which the Hen party blatantly ignored any of the men in the pubs and clubs. The evening then ended with a male stripogram dressed in an army themed fancy dress outfit or an officer attatching handcuffs to the bride and showing her his truncheon. With the hen party girls jumping up onto the tables and singing along to Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’ providing proof that a group of women on a hen night are out for more fun than the men!

However nowadays a whole industry is devoted to giving the bride-to-be a spectacular hen night and final singles night out before quiet, married life! Hen nights have now turned into Hen weekends, with visits to exotic locations abroad with a wide variety of activities on offer. Just a glance on the internet or in a holiday brochure gives people numerous ideas for a fun weekend break. So what sort of weekend activities do Hen parties choose these days? Well, we have a great selection of weekend activities to choose from! Just use the links below and choose between off road racing, white water rafting, paint ball wars, karting, quad biking, pole dancing lessons or clay pigeon shooting. Another popular choice for women who want a break from their hectic lifestyles is to spend a weekend at a health and beauty spa, where they can indulge in two days of pampered bliss with face massages, manicures and pedicures. Of course there is also the option of a theatre break in London with a stay at a top hotel, possibly too much choice for the chief Bridesmaid? Now more than ever Hen parties do take the adventurous route of traveling abroad to destinations accross Europe, such as Ibiza or Tenerife. Unlike their Stag counterparts, who seem to choose cities based purely on night life, many Hen parties like to go to the capitals of Europe such as Paris, Amsterdam, Prague and Madrid because of the outstanding shopping and high quality hotels. The advent of low cost airlines has boosted the party industry, and a quick search of the internet will bring up lots of companies who will arrange foreign weekend breaks perfect for hen weekends away.

Stag Night's

There was a time when the traditional Stag night (the last night of freedom of an ensnared groom) was celebrated in the local pub or night club. The idea was to get the groom drunk, arrange for a busty kissogram in a fancy dress costume to shake her knockers in his face and take photos. Then the lads on the stag do would remove his trousers or Borat Mankini on the way home, only for the stag to find himself locked up by the local police and probably miss the wedding! In the hours before the wedding he would then have to plead with the police to let him go, so the wedding could go ahead. But after his wife-to-be had seen photos of him with another woman and heard he had been walking along the High Street in just his Borat Mankini or some other bizarre army theme fancy dress costume, the wedding would probably be cancelled anyway.

Thankfully though, things have become a little more sophisticated In the last few years. Stag nights and Stag weekends have become a multi-million pound industry, with licensed fancy dress products available for purchase such as Michael Jackson costumes as well as Super Hero' s including Batman, Superman, Bananaman and more, to make your night or weekend at Minehead Butlins or even Barry Island one to remember forever! There are many shops and internet sites that sell fancy dress costumes and accessories, but we feel our choice is second to none! Towns and Cities across Europe now encourage stag nights as a means of earning extra revenue in what would otherwise be quiet times. As the phenomenon grows so does the sense of adventure of British people when it comes to the locations they decide to visit. A recent survey listed the following cities abroad as big favorites of the Brit's on Stag weekends: Czech Republic (Prague), Budapest (Hungary), Dublin (Ireland), Vilnius (Lithuania ), Barcelona and Tossa de Mar (Spain), Warsaw (Poland), Prague (The Czech Republic), Riga (Latvia), the Algarve (Portugal), Amsterdam (Holland), an eclectic choice you must agree. If you are too scared to travel because of the Swine Flu Virus and want to spend a weekend in the U.K. there are a growing host of outdoor activities on offer which are popular such as karting, off-road driving, paint ball wars, target shooting and water skiing. The market has become so sophisticated that we can provide a pick and mix choice of location and activities depending on the sort of weekend or day activities a Stag group wants. We have teamed up with 'Freedom Ltd', the UK's leading Stag and Hen party organisers, Just use the link below to view a huge selection of hen and stag activity weekend ideas.
