When it comes to saying goodbye to your life as a Miss, then you need to go out in style. There seems to be a lot of pressure to provide your hens with the biggest and best night out, some going as far as booking holidays abroad.

This post will give you some ideas for a Liverpool hen do – a favourite destination in the UK amongst stags and hens.
I personally think that as long as you are with your nearest and dearest that’s all that matters and a night out to your local could do your evening justice if you have the right group of girls with you. We went to Liverpool for one of my best friend’s hen dos a couple of years ago and we had a great time.
With this in mind, I have narrowed down the five best ways to do your hen do in Liverpool:
1. Do an adventure hen do
If action is your thing, then Liverpool is a city that will provide. From water sports on the cool waters of the Mersey River (I did canoeing here a few years ago!) to paintball Liverpool, or even a dance class, there’s nothing better than having a fun day with the ladies full of belly bursting laughter, to bring you all closer together.
You could even try Bubble Mayhen – an exciting experience where you can do zorbing but without a football in sight. Oh, and there’s a bottle of bubbly of course!
2. Do a posh hen do
For a classier upscale affair, don your vintage gowns and snazzy ensembles and book yourself into Sunday Swing Afternoon Tea. Here you can enjoy delightful finger sandwiches and cakes, tiny cups of tea and delicate flutes of crisp champagne. All whilst being serenaded by the soothing tones of a world class crooner.
Before or after your afternoon tea, why not take a trip down the high street? It’s full of designer shops like Harvey Nichols so if you need an outfit for later, or some accessories for the wedding, it’s perfect.
3. Do a silly hen do
If themes are more your thing and you’re in the mood for all out partying, then book yourself into a party hotel. Themed group accommodation will get your party started before you’ve even unpacked. Signature Hotel do a Burlesque themed floor big enough to accommodate 26 hens with packages including hen themed cakes, butlers in the buff, pole dancing classes and cocktail masterclasses. From the moment you check-in you’ll be ready for a great night on the town, complete with pole dancing, club nights, and adult entertainment similar to these Strippers Perth have that are local to your area. You could even do fancy dress!
I can highly recommend Signature as this is where we stayed for my friend’s hen party. The rooms are super Instagrammable, so it’s worth it for the pictures alone! It actually works out as quite reasonable as well, as the cost is split between all of you.
4. Do a cultural hen do
A seemingly random option but one that is becoming more popular is a cultured hen break. Similar to that of the relaxing hen do, this is a bride to be who wants to enjoy the finer things from her city break and share them with her friends. Liverpool has a huge offering of art galleries as well as a number of exhibitions and museums. You and the ladies could head for a private curator lead tour at the Tate before taking in some photographic art at the Open Eye Gallery. From here a spot of lunch on the river followed by some music exhibitions at the Cunard’s The Jam: Above the Young Idea and maybe even take a Beatles Fab Four Tour. Quiet yes but memorable even more so.
If you want a cultural activity you could try a drawing class.
5. Do a relaxing hen do
For those of you bride-to-bes who already have a wild social life, consider taking this break with your girls and turning it into a detoxing spa and beauty break. Liverpool is home to some fabulous spots which provide full spa services and top of the line beauty treatments. Imagine waking one morning to head off to a full day of pampering. Morgan’s Spa even does packages which include afternoon tea, drinks and even access to a pool. There are also some cutting edge body contouring treatments available, perfect for getting you ready for your figure hugging wedding dress.
6. Do a party hen do
Of course, Liverpool has an amazing party scene and plenty of nightlife which is perfect for hen parties that want to dance until dawn. The city centre is full of cocktail bars and try the Albert Docks and Concert Square for dancing, whatever music you’re into. Head to a bar and restaurant first for dinner (I love Bacaro) before hitting the town.
There’s more than one way to do your hen do in Liverpool, so bring your girls together in style.

Ok, so definitely not a hen do but here’s my video from when we spent a couple of days in the city.
