What “should” happen on a Hen Do depends on one thing: the Bride to Be. So no matter what the other Hens in the party have in mind, the key to a successful celebration is to make sure that the guest of honour is comfortable. Yes you could hit the shops, or watch a game or rugby at The Rec, but if you’re looking for a daytime activity, try one of these for size:

Nightlife

It wouldn’t be a Hen Do without a night on the town. Luckily, Bath’s Night spots are worth the trip to the city on their own, let alone whatever else you have planned for your time here. Bath has truly charming ‘proper pubs’, decadent venues for Fine Dining and, of course, some amazing clubs to dance the night away!
