Brighton Hen Do Ideas

Brighton Hen Do Activities

If you’re looking for Brighton hen do ideas then you’ve come to the right place.  A Brighton hen party is such an amazing place for hen parties as it offers great nightlife and things to do, right by the sea.  We compiled our top hen do activities from daytime to night for Brighton hen weekend to remember:

Paddleboarding

Being by the sea in Brighton offers so many great hen party ideas including paddleboarding.  Check out Lagoon who offer fun lessons which are available for hen parties.  This makes a fab daytime activity.

Brighton Hen Party Dance Class

At Sashay Dance we specialise in fun themed hen party dance classes available in Brighton and across the UK.  We have 20 groovy classes to choose from including Spice Girls, Dirty Dancing and Disney.  Our classes are suitable for all making them one of the top ideas for a hen do in Brighton.

Fish and Chip Fridays

Why not start your hen night with fish and chips at the Palm Court on Brighton Pier.  This makes a great spot to watch the sunset.  They also offer salads, burgers, cocktails and fizz!

Brighton i360

To experience the best views take a trip on a glass pod at the Brighton i360.  You can upgrade your ticket to have a drink of Nytiember from the Skybar at the top too.

Potion Making for Brighton Hen Parties

This is one for all the Harry Potter fans out there!  Visit the Cauldron to make and of course consume potions.  Each table gets a magic wand which used correctly magically rustles up drinks.  A unique experience to the traditional cocktail making that features on a lot of hen nights.

Karaoke

Sing the nights away at Lucky Voice in one of their private karaoke rooms.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our hen do activities in Brighton and wish you all an amazing time on your Brighton hen weekends.

Friends Theme Hen Party

Friends Themed Hen Party

I just had to write a blog on this as it’s such a cool hen party theme to do with your friends!  Check out our top Friends themed hen party ideas:

Friends hen do t shirts

I just love these Friends hen night t shirts.  They can be customised to add the bride to be’s name.

Friends hen party dance class

This idea actually came to us by customer request!  The hens wanted to recreate ‘The Routine’ from Friends and we just had to give it our best shot.  The group loved it and if you ask us we’ll do this theme at no extra cost.  We specialise in fun themed hen party dance classes all across the UK.  The lessons are 2 left feet friendly, suitable for all and most importantly a lot of fun.  The bride goes free on all our classes too.  Check out ‘The Routine’ we did in the video at the end of the blog.

Glow in the dark teeth

I still laugh my head off when I think back to Ross’s glow in the dark teeth.  I believe there are glow in the dark teeth paints available but I just didn’t dare to recommend any in case!  Another option are these glow in the dark mouth guards which are probably a bit safer.

Friends turkey head game

Oh wow, another howler here.  Throw hoops at the turkey head and who ever gets the most on wins.  A small bike helmet might come in handy for this one!

Friends themed hen party decorations

These personalised banners are great for transforming hotel rooms and hen party houses.

Friends hen weekend gift

I just love these Friends hen do customised glasses.  The perfect keepsake from the hen party and the perfect item for a hen party goody bag.  There’s also plastic customised champagne flutes available here and quite reasonably priced.

I hope you’ve found the Friends hen party theme ideas helpful.  I wish you all an amazing time on your hen parties too.  To find out more about our fun themed dance classes (Friends  theme of course available) then follow this link.

We can’t wait to give you something to dance about!

York Hen Activities

York Hen Parties
Top Ideas for a York Hen Party

York is my home town and where Sashay Dance is based.  It’s very picturesque and with everything so close by to each other you can really make the most of your time on your York hen do.  I’ve compiled a list of York hen activities and things to do for hen parties in York.

River cruise

Enjoy a leisurely cruise with City Cruises York.  They can cater to hen parties with a party boat cruise or for something more civilised tuck into an afternoon tea.

Dance class

At Sashay Dance we have 20 groovy themed dance classes available for York hen parties.  We can hire somewhere centrally or come to you with our fun dance activities suitable for all.  For more information visit our hen party dance class page.

Sashay Dance

York restaurants

Having lived in York for over 25 years I have tried a fair few restaurants (probably too many!).  It would be rude not to share my restaurant knowledge with you, so here’s my top ones for hen parties:

1. Cosy Club York – they have an amazing Red Carpet room upstairs which is just such a classy place to hire for hen parties.  I booked this space for my sister’s hen do and it really was wonderful
2. Sora Sky Bar – in York there’s not many venues with a good view, as there’s a limit on height of buildings so that people can still see the Minster.  The Sora Sky Bar at Malmaison offers an amazing view of this and I’d highly recommend going for 1 or 2 cocktails.  Make sure you book though as it isn’t easy to get a table on here on the weekends.
3. Sotano Tapas is a lovely tapas in York and it’s one of my favourite restaurants.  They also have a roof terrace (can’t be booked but sometimes space on it) which is a hidden gem in York for outdoor space.  The tapas really is delicious and unlike many other restaurants in York their wines are really good.
4. Another very popular place for girls nights and hen parties is Impossible York.  They have a great cocktail menu and it’s in a wonderful building.  I’ve not been yet for food but I’m going soon in a few weeks to try ‘The Pink Room’ for my friend’s birthday party – so I’ll update then.

York Cosy Club – The Red Room

Cocktail making

Forage York have an expertly crafted cocktail list and also do their own cocktail masterclasses.

Afternoon tea

York has some really lovely venues for an afternoon tea.  I would recommend Cedar Court Grand for a luxury afternoon tea overlooking the bar walls.

Other important notes for a hen party in York

• Although things are extremely close by to each other they certainly don’t feel it in 4 inch heels.  Many of the streets in York are cobbled which are highly uncomfortable in heels.  If you struggle in heels I’d definitely recommend putting a pair of flats in your bag.
• York Races are great to visit and if you’re going to these you’ll have a fab time.  What’s not great is if you’re not going to York Races and you go into town after this.  A lot of York residents avoid going out on a race night like the plague.  The restaurants and bars are all full and everyone is hammered.  The only time this is fun is you’ve been at the races all day as well.  Also pack enough Ibuprofen for everyone for this option.
• There’s been a bit of bad recent press for York hen parties as the local MP wants to create a party guide for hen parties.  My advice would be just to avoid penis costumes, as they don’t go down well here and being sick in the street.
• Booking a taxi in York on a weekend is difficult if left last minute.  There are Ubers but not many, on a weekend if you do manage to get one they’ve probably ranked up the prices due to demand.  I would recommend booking taxis in advance with local taxi company 659 taxis 01904659659 and do this as early as you can.  659 are always on time and sometimes a bit too early so make sure everyone is ready to go.
• As York is such an historic city, the bars and restaurants aren’t as big as what you’d find in other cities.  I’d recommend booking as much as you can in advance and coming up with an itinerary.  In the daytime this isn’t so much for a problem but it still can be.

I wish you all a wonderful York hen party and hope you’ve found the hen party ideas in York blog helpful.

I am not a professional blogger by any stretch of the imagination as you will know now you’ve read this post. We can’t wait to give you something to dance about!

Disney Hen Party Ideas

Disney Themed Hen Party Ideas

If you’re looking for Disney themed hen party ideas then you’ve come to the right place.  We’ve compiled our top ideas for the perfect Disney hen weekend to start the ‘happily ever after’ story:

Disney dance class

At Sashay Dance we do a fun themed Disney hen do dance class available throughout the UK.  We have a fun Disney mash up including some Disney classics, or we can even customise your own songs.  Hakuna Matata – our classes are suitable for all and 2 left feet friendly.  We do 20 themes for hen parties nationwide.

Disney fancy dress

Why not dress up as your favourite Disney princesses and characters.  Try Amazon for these Rubie’s Official Disney outfits.  With everything from Snow White to Cinderella but don’t worry we won’t expect you all home at midnight!

Disney accessories

I just love these Disney headbands you can get which are perfect for wearing day to night on the hen do.  They would look great paired with the Disney hen party t shirt which also would work well at our dance class.

Complete your look and make dreams come true with a Disney princess wand.

Disney princess castle pinata

Fairy tales really do come true with this Disney princess castle pinata which you can stuff with the hen’s favourites sweets.

Disney movie time

If you’re away for the weekend why not put a Disney movie night in the itinerary.  Or if you’re planning a Disney hen party in London for the ultimate experience book Lion King on the West End.

Disney decor

Balloons are a great quick way of decorating a hen party house or hotel room.  Check out Party Delights who have a wide range of Disney balloons.

Disney playlist

Sometimes it’s the little ideas that make the big difference.  Message the hens for all their favourite Disney tunes and create a playlist.  This will be perfect to have on during the weekend or for pre-drinks.

Have your cake and eat it

Lastly Pinterest is fab for getting hen party ideas and I just love this board of Disney inspired cupcakes.  If you’re staying at a hen party house why not have a cupcake making activity or bring some along to the hen weekend.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading our Disney hen party ideas and wishing you all an amazing time on the hen do.
