Unusual hen do ideas liverpool
Liverpool is one of the premier destinations for hen and stag parties in the UK but if the idea of a stereotypical hen party filled with spa days, afternoon tea, butlers in the buff and dodgy party games fills you with dread, you could be one of a new generation of hens looking for a slightly more unusual and unique way to share this milestone with your nearest and dearest girl friends and relatives.
We’ve all been in the position where the latest group email arrives announcing the dates of a friend’s hen do and seeing the words “wouldn’t it be so lovely if you could come along and support your friend by paying an extortionate fee to take part in yet another pamper day or cake making course that you’ve done 4 times already this year!”
The good news is Liverpool doesn’t disappoint when it comes to offerings for those on the hunt for fun filled hen parties that are a little different. So whether you’re a bride dropping hints to your maid of honour or have been given the unenviable task of organising a hen party celebration from start to finish for a bride that wants to sidestep the norm, we’ve got some excellent ideas to help you plan something really special, packed with oodles of fun and is just a little bit unusual – a sure fire way to ensure the celebration is one to remember for all of the right reasons!
Here are just a few activities to consider covering the energetic, competitive, creative and music making sides of your personality. All are based in the heart of Liverpool, don’t cost the earth and will induce a genuinely enthusiastic reaction when your invitation lands in your friends inboxes.
Free running
If your group of girlies is feeling energetic, fearless and fancies channeling her inner Lara Croft perhaps a parkour introductory session could tick your hen party boxes. By the end of the event you will be scaling urban obstacles to be queen of the concrete jungle, just like in the movies where they scale buildings, bounce off lampposts and land effortlessly with grace and poise (or a forward roll!) Well, you might not be that advanced but you’ll have certainly had a good time trying! This is an intensive workout so be prepared to ache the next day and isn’t for the faint hearted. You will also need to gather a minimum of 10 hens that are prepared to give this unusual activity a go!
Knicker making
If pottery painting and cupcake decorating has had it’s time but you still want to be able to take a souvenir of your activity away with you, maybe knicker making sessions could be what you’re after! Get the girls together and get your creative juices flowing to see who can come up with the prettiest, most garish or embarrassing pair of pants for the bride – and be sure to make her model them all! This fun activity comes with a ‘Chief brief’ to take you through the process and the tricky sewing stuff will be taken care of so you can concentrate on picking your materials, decorations and building your creation!
Coverstar
If you and your girls have fond memories of singing along to the top 40 in front of the mirror with your hair brush while working on your dance moves, why not take a trip down memory lane and recreate this magic with a professional touch with a hen party experience from CoverStar.
You will have exclusive access to a professional studio that includes the all important control room and the vocal booth complete with a 24 channel mixing desk and all the gear you need including headphones, lyric screen and microphones. There is plenty of opportunity to sing in groups and even do a Geri and go solo! Accompanying you will be a professional and friendly sound engineer to provide you with the guidance needed to create your very own No.1 hit!
There are plenty of hen packages to choose from including the music video and paparazzi options if you really want to go to town with your popstar experience. You will also have a party host to keep things running smoothly and provide additional games and entertainment on the side of the main recording event.
When you’re not in the studio, our gorgeous live room is complete with everything you need to unleash your inner popstar; space for perfecting dance moves, group photos and karaoke plus lots of comfy seating for a break between takes when your inner diva needs a rest! You will get two hours of studio time with access to a private bar in our Liverpool City Centre location and whatever music magic you create, will be captured and immortalized on personalise vinyl style CD for the bride and additional copies can be purchased on the day.
Gladiator games
We challenge you to keep a straight face as you and your friends don togas and complete eight gladiator inspired contests from a bygone era in the roman amphitheatre. With absolutely zero historical accuracy but tonnes of fun, this is a great option for those of you who want to bring a touch of competitiveness to the party. Based in the world famous Aintree there is excellent transport links to town which is just a 20 minute taxi ride away or the Roman’s can arrange a shuttle bus for you as part of the hen package.
