Our Top 5 Suggestions for an Unforgettable Glamping Hen Party
Organising a hen party for your friend is one of the greatest honours you can be given. Once you’ve come up with the all-important guest list and found a date that works for you all, it’s time to decide what to do and hen party glamping is the perfect option for all brides to be.
If you’re looking for something with a relaxed vibe and a chance to make amazing memories with your girl gang, then hen party glamping could be just the thing for you. You can involve fun and games or make it outdoorsy and chill, depending on what the bride-to-be would like the most.
Look at our list below for some fab ideas when planning an unforgettable glamping hen party for your bestie.
1. Create a Mini Festival
Recreate your best memories by whacking up the tunes and jamming to some of your favourite songs from back in the day. Add some glitter and wellies for effect but avoid the mud and queues! You can just enjoy dancing along to some of your favourite tunes with your best friends and make new memories that will last a lifetime.
2. Play Some Lawn Games
Split your group up into teams, set up some old-school games and encourage a bit of cheeky competition with prizes for the winners. This is great if there is a group of people who don’t know each other well at the glamping hen party. Games like egg and spoon races, Jenga and sack races are great fun and won’t cos the earth to set up either.
3. Food, Glorious Food!
With lots of mouths to feed, get everyone to help cook a huge meal such as tapas or mezze so there are lots of things to try out and everyone is catered for. Gather around a big table or set up a picnic blanket outside and eat, drink and chat until the early hours at the glamping hen party.
4. Get out and get exploring
Break up the weekend of glamping with a little trip outdoors. Get everyone in the car and go exploring in the nearby town or village to check out some local shops and treat yourself to a pub lunch. Check out the local bars and clubs for a dance and giggle then head back to your glamping hen do bell tent for a night under the stars.
Or maybe a trip to the local woods for a local nature walk is more your bride-to-be’s thing. Get your hiking boots on and spend the day exploring the great British countryside before rewarding yourselves with hot chocolate and pizza back at basecamp.
5. Chat, Chat, Chat.
Build a fire, get cosy with some blankets, open a bottle of wine and take some time to connect with friends, both old and new. Sometimes the best evenings are those that just flow with no plans, just good company. That is what hen party glamping is all about after all.
Our Hen party glamping options are endless. Have a chat with us about our hen party glamping ideas and find out how we can help you with the planning, just email us on victoria@victorialilyevents.co.uk as we would love to chat.
