Planning a Hen Party in Brighton
Brighton is a fascinating and popular city, much more than just its famous beachfront. Did you know there is several free activities in Brighton? Attractions include the aquarium, Brighton pier and Brighton wheel. If you’re the adventurous voyager type then there are great country houses and parks a short journey out of the city. What’s more with its booming night life it boasts a perfect destination for a hen party or weekend. People usually follow a typical routine when visiting Brighton and it’s easy to just spend all your time between the beach front and pier, this mini guide has been designed to provide you with an alternative view of Brighton to suggest a few different things for you to do with your hens.
Accommodation
Brighton offers a unique variety of accommodation for your weekend. You could go traditional and book a standard chain hotel in the heart of the city, excellent for larger numbers in a hen group and the perfect location. If you wanted to be little alternative and have a smaller number of hens Brighton is very well known for their boutique hotels. Better yet for all group sizes there are a number of self catering options and if the idea of one big sleepover appeals to your group this is a recommended choice! Whatever you decide early booking is required, this city is hugely popular as a weekend destination and with your numbers and possible special requirements you want to be sure to avoid disappointments!
Nightlife
Brighton is well known for its live music and nurturing the talents of indie and pop stars. After a certain hour you’re sure to come across a number of venues hosting medium and intimated sized live gigs. The club scene is a little more relaxed than London but on par in terms of quality, which makes it perfect for the last minute hen in terms of club hopping. Something else Brighton is good at. Comedy! Comedy clubs are very welcoming of parties, if you’re a lover of the lime light get there early and grab one of the front seats.
Activities
Brighton has a busy timetable all year round including lots of free events. I would definitely recommend taking a look at the cities tourist page for a full run down of the listings of events during your stay. But prepare to deviate from the plan, most of brightens activities are walking distance so you could literally bump into an activity. However again I must stress your dealing with a group! For the more organised hen leader you’ll probably want to have something planned in advanced to ensure the day runs smoothly. I’d suggest the late evening is the best part of the night to leave to chance. You’ll notice a lot of art and culture all around you in Brighton, why not be a part of it! A number of private Life Drawing Classes with male models are available in venues around the city, all of which are relaxed, light hearted and open to large hen groups.
