Our hugely successful and almost sell out during 2021 Hen Camp is available once again at the Hook and Hatchet Pub in Huckling, near Maidstone for 2022 bookings.

The Hook and Hatchet Pub is a unique and vibrant location with its own Hillside Campsite, with an exclusive semi private area assigned just for the Hen Camps during the summer months. You have the benefit of your own newly paved patio area, festoon lights hanging in trees and your own gated entrance to the glamp camp area.

The venue is situated within the Huckling Estate just off the Pilgrims Way, which is an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Star gazing, unlimited fresh air and nature are in a constant supply.

Upon your arrival and check in at the pub, you will be greeted with the Hen Camp fully set up for you and the tribe, ready for use. Prices are based on a tent occupancy of 5 x hens per tent. All sleeping tents are 6m in diameter and are very spacious inside, plenty of room for luggage and drinks!

Each tent is equipped with the following inside – carpets, raised single camp beds with mattress toppers, sheets, duvets, pillows, cushions, throws, side table, rug, lantern, mirror and eye masks.

Outside there is pretty bunting, welcome mat for shoes and twinkling fairy lights on each tent.

You also have access to 3 x picnic benches for your sole use during your stay, along with car parking adjacent to the camp.

Festoon lights in the trees complete the look and for the oh so important pics for the ‘gram.

The on-site facilities include 2 x unisex showers and toilets which are available for use 24 hours a day. Electric hook ups next to your bell tents are also available you select the electric option when booking your camp.

The Hook and Hatchet has a large restaurant, beer garden, outside bar during the summer months and also a delicious burger shack. They are very accomdating in terms of catering so anything in particular you’d like, just ask! Previous clampers have had breakfast one of the mornings upon request and they will, where possible, give priority bookings for your stay should you wish to eat or drink in the pub.

THE RULES

The venue are very relaxed in terms of what you can and cannot do during your stay.

Previous hen camps have arranged for their own silent discos, DJs, acoustic singers, cocktail making classes and such like. The site just asks you to be aware of other campers up on the main camping area (no drum and bass at 3am!) but it is a very relaxed site with the emphasis on enjoying yourselves during your stay!

If you are bringing BBQs for cooking, please ensure these are raised off the ground to protect the ground from scolding and being damaged for future use. We ask that you dispose of all your rubbish in the numerous bins provided around your hen camp and this includes all rubbish from inside the tents too.

There is a no fire pit rule at this site.

You are free to bring your own alcohol into your hen camp.

There is a minimum requirement of 15 x hens for hen camp. You can of course have a smaller party size but the price will be for 15 should the party size be smaller than this number

    Luxury Glamping Hen Party

    So you have been given the ultimate bridesmaid duty……………to plan the Glamping Hen Party. Your job is to gather a small tribe (or village) of Hens, to get them to commit to the Hen Party which could be 9 months into the next summer whilst we are in the depths of scarves, hats and Christmas trees….so yes….you do have a task on your hands.

    Here at Victoria Lily, we have first hand experience with organising all types of events and especially a Hen Party. The logistics of agreeing venue, making sure the date suits everyone, finding the right prices, getting all the hens to commit to the price, getting everyone’s contribution to book and final numbers is such a task that it will have you reaching for the gin bottle (and a straw!) before long.

    Last summer we had the absolute privilage of bring involved with #CathFest which the fantastic Elizabeth Jayne Photography (click for the link to her fantastic work) and man, did she throw an uber chic, classy and glitter-tastic Hen Party!

    We helped to create the Hen Village for 30 lovely ladies with our large bell tents which sleep up to 6 each and each Hen Bell Tent had raised beds, bedding, carpets, bunting, tables, carpets, rugs and all the glitter themed items you could ever wish for.

    Liz and the team of girls who set up up the surprise Glamping Hen Party when to absolute town with an outside pallet bar, DJ, hay bale seating area (complete with table cloths and flowers!) and a relaxing yoga session on the Sunday morning.

    Our Hen Party Bell Tent Package has been put together to help make the planning process easier, smoother and as hassle free as possible.

    We’ve kept our Glamping Hen Package as simple as possible and prices are from £50.00 per hen for the entire weekend. We know getting final numbers in December for a Hen Party which isn’t taking place until the following July, just isn’t going to happen. We ask for an approximate number you are expecting to attend for the glamping weekend and we just ask that we have the final number attending two weeks prior to the Hen Party.

    A small deposit secures the Hen Party weekend and once we have the final number figure a few weeks beforehand, that is when we will request the final balance – how bloody easy!!
