Hen Do Ideas Edinburgh

Fun hen do ideas in Edinburgh

The hen party, like most traditions, comes with its own set of expectations — party games, drinking and laughs with the girls are all part of the fun. But everybody’s different, and these traditions don’t always align with the bride’s lifestyle or interests, which is  why our selection of craft workshops in Edinburgh make the perfect solution for non-traditional hen party ideas. Not only are they just as fun as a night on the town, but they offer the opportunity to really personalise the party for the lucky lady herself, and show her just how much she means to the people who know her best.

Remember how she was always doodling as a kid? Enrol in a life drawing class and really encourage those artistic inclinations! Is she an avid DIYer who’s always working with her hands? A pottery class is not only relaxing, but gives her some handmade ceramics to decorate her space with pride. The possibilities really are endless, and the memories you make together will last a lifetime — any of these hen do activities will bring all of you closer together, and let the future bride know that, no matter what married life may bring, she’ll always have her best friends by her side.

How to throw an incredible Edinburgh hen do

Of course, you don’t have to keep things entirely civilised! You can always think outside the box and combine creative and crafty hen party activities with more traditional style celebrations. A cooking class in Edinburgh would make a brilliant way to ease everyone into proceedings before moving on to some more rambunctious fun in the evening. With so many customisable classes and flexible teachers available, you’ll be able to create a unique hen party to suit everyone’s tastes.

It’s not just the bride herself you have to think about; every hen in the party is different! If you’re a mindful menagerie looking for some soothing sensations to help everyone relax before the big day, a tea-tasting experience would make an ideal antidote to the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding. Alternatively, if you’re after something a bit more lively for the pleasure-seekers among you, a cocktail making workshop would be a brilliant way of making sure everyone gets the VIP treatment while still picking up some nifty skills you can use to treat each other (and yourselves!) with later.

From bus-loads of friends and family to more intimate affairs, you’ll find Edinburgh hen party ideas to suit groups of all sizes. If the bride is keeping things low key with just a handful of her nearest and dearest, gin or whisky tasting sessions would make fantastic hen party ideas for small groups. For larger groups, why not take a look at a private paint party? Whether you’re focusing on the art or sipping while you paint, these ever-popular classes scale easily to groups of any size — after all, the more the merrier! No matter what your group’s size, tastes or skills, you’ll find a little something for everyone with our curated range of workshops in Edinburgh.
