A Day at the Races

Fancy a day at the races? Get dressed up and head to one of London's fantastic racecourses for a great day out. Book lunch in a private box at Sandown Park, choose a party package at Royal Ascot, or head to Kempton Park, where you can enjoy a whole evening's entertainment after the races.

Jewellery-Making Hen Party

For a hen party with a difference, learn the art of jewellery making with one of London's hottest designers, Claire Aristides. At a special workshop for hens, you'll learn how to design and make jewellery, with champagne on hand to inspire your masterpieces. Create a bespoke necklace for the bride, jewellery to match the bridesmaids' dresses, or a beautiful piece to wear out that evening.

London Party Bus

Board the double-decker London Party Bus for a fun tour of London bars and clubs. The bus comes complete with music, balloons and streamers. You can pick from themed tours such as School Party Bus, Burlesque Baby, Comedy Tour and Salsa Tour.

Chocolate Ecstasy Tour

Chocolate-loving hens will be in heaven on the Chocolate Ecstasy Tour. The indulgent tour takes you around London's chocolate hotspots, sampling all the best chocolate along the way. You'll try treats like violet and rose creams, truffles made to 100-year-old recipes, delicate ganache chocolates, fiery chilli chocolate and delicious hot chocolates. 

Take a Cruise on the River Thames

Celebrate in style with a dinner cruise along the River Thames, where your meal is accompanied by ever-changing views of London's riverscape. Or, for something a bit different, opt for an adrenalin-fuelled speedboat tour or a fun London Duck Tour.

Luxury Afternoon Teas

Cakes, sandwiches, tea and a glass of champagne… Sound like your cup of tea? If so, why not treat your hens to afternoon tea at one of London's most luxurious hotels, like The Ritz or The Dorchester. For something a bit different, try The Berkeley's fashionable Prêt-à-Portea.
