There is nothing like a Christmas hen party. Winter might be dark and cold, but nothing beats that festive feeling. For any of you out there who are planning the most awesome send off for your bestie around the festive season, we have put together a few alternative hen party ideas for keeping the hen troops entertained over the hen weekend. Read on for 10 fun christmas hen party ideas. 

1. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland

Winter wonderland in Hyde Park is open from 19th November until 3rd January, covering the entire winter season.  From live music, fun fair rides, ice skating, christmas markets and the famous ice bar - you'll not be short of things to do that suits everyone in your hen party!  Tickets cost from £5 for general admission.

 

2. Pantomime

Revisit your youth and take a trip to the local pantomime. The Panto is always great fun and is an activity suitable for everyone from your Aunty Betty to your other halves younger sister, – win-win!! A twist on this is a trip to a panto’s naughty cousin, the adult panto. This has become increasingly popular in more recent years and is a guaranteed comic night out, but with a strictly 18+ admission rule, be sure to check that this one is suitable for all attending and maybe leave Aunty Betty at home for this one…!

3. Ice Skating

Ice skating can be a great way to get the whole gang giggling. With festive music, the smell of hot chocolate and festive food filling the air, this is a great one for getting everyone in the spirit and no doubt there will be a few less than dignified skaters who spend most of the time on their bum providing the laughs for everyone. WARNING! It’s best to check out that all involved are physically up to skating before deciding on this one.

4. Christmas Markets

As important as it is to cover the budget conscious party, there is always room for a few hen party splurge ideas too. What better way to send your bestie off into winter wonderland marital bliss than getting everyone in the spirit at a stunning Christmas Market. Among the top 10 in Europe are Munich, Vienna, Krakow, Prague and Budapest to name a few. A little closer to home there is the stunning market that takes over the city of Bath. A Christmasshopper’s paradise, each year 170 chalets packed full of gorgeous Christmas gifts line the streets surrounding the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey. Depending on which side of the pond you are one, there is also the Christmas Market in Dublin with more than 60 chalets taking up residence in St. Stephen’s Green.
