3rd Place
Knicker Customisation
Over the past five years, this alternative hen do idea has long reigned as one of our most popular activities. Finding itself in a very respectable 3rd place this year shows just how much of a classic hen party workshop this is!
2nd Place
Patchwork Parties
Always a special activity, our patchwork parties get all the hens together to collaborate on a unique quilt or set of cushions, perfectly themed to the Bride's wedding colour scheme. It's so great to see how each and every patchwork quilt or set of cushions is so different, and full of personal touches. Also available for baby showers too, so Mum To Be can create a bespoke baby blanket with her closest friends and family.
