Well firstly, we start with a Congratulations to the bride-to-be and to the friend/sister/family member given the responsibility of arranging a hen do that everyone is going to enjoy! 🥂 The excitement of lots of ideas and deciding what the bride will enjoy most is when you start to delve into a world of trying to please multiple people with varying degrees of budget and ideas! No longer so much fun and lots of organising begins….
At Farm Adventure we have 14 years of experience helping and guiding lots of lovely groups to enjoy a successful hen do weekend that is sure to keep the group entertained and provide lots of laughs and happy memories for years to come! 🙌
Step 1: Gather the Troops
Be sure to get the brides 👰♀️ input so everyone is invited that she would like there! Get the invite out in plenty of time and set a clear RSVP deadline – this will help save you having to send extra reminder messages chasing responses! Remember – quantity isn’t always quality – our minimum group number at Farm Adventure is 8 people for activities. Smaller group doesn’t mean fewer laughs!😄
Step 2: Choose a Date
Select a few dates that work with the bride and key guests – don’t give too many options as this only causes more chaos! A hen do can be enjoyed all year round – come sunshine or rain – you can get them wellies on ready to embrace the beautiful outdoors!🌦️
📍Step 3: Pick your Location
Logistics of gathering a group for a 1 day or 3 days can be tricky.🚗 Deciding on how long you want to travel can help narrow down how far you go, and the style of hen do should guide you to an area, city, beach or beautiful countryside!
Farm Adventure offers two locations:
🌄Yorkshire – settled on top of a hill, as the farm name suggests Hilltop Farm, with gorgeous views overlooking the beautiful countryside. Masham, nearest town (3 miles away) with 5 pubs, 2 breweries and a gin distillery!🍸
