Brighton Hen Party Ideas
Planning a fab hen weekend? Brighton is the perfect place to party. Only an hour from London, Brighton is a trendy, vibrant city which ticks so many hen party boxes – a buzzing nightlife scene, trendy bars and restaurants, shopping, plenty of activities, tranquil green spaces, and beachfront sports and events. Voted one of the Top 10 city beach break destinations in the world, you know you and your ladies will have a great time here!
Take a wander along the bustling promenade, and pop into one of the cafes or bars that line the pavement. Dating from Victorian times, the famous Brighton Pier boasts an arcade and fairground attractions and, of course, traditional fish and chips. The beach offers activities such as sailing, kite-surfing, boules and volleyball. Take a spin on the new Brighton Wheel which provides panoramic views of the surrounding area, and marvel at the beauty of the Royal Pavilion, the spectacular seaside palace of the Prince Regent (George IV); one of the most dazzling buildings in the British Isles, or take a wander down the Brighton Walk of Fame and pretend you’re in Hollywood!
For those hen parties that like to shop ‘til they drop, Brighton Lanes is a dream of independent shops and boutiques, and perfect for a chilled out wander as you explore their delights. This historic quarter is a maze of twisting passages and alleyways, offering everything from designer fashion to antique jewellery nestling alongside specialist contemporary and designer boutique fashion. If the bride is looking for something special to wear on her wedding night, direct her towards She Said, the only dedicated bridal lingerie shop in the UK – a must-visit for hen parties in Brighton! A great place to grab a coffee or a cocktail, you may find street musicians and entertainers livening up the Lanes. For retro fans, a visit to the North Laine shopping area is a must-do – with over 300 shops in an area smaller than half a square mile, the quirky area of criss-cross streets will give you a unique and vibrant retail experience.
When the sun sets, you’ll discover some great watering holes in Brighton. From the vibrant and funky to the cosy and traditional, to the seafront bars and clubs which nestle under the Victorian beachfront arches, there’s a bar to suit everyone. Komedia, in the centre of town, offers an exciting programme of theatre, cabaret, comedy and music, and Britain’s oldest cinema, the Duke of York’s Picturehouse acts as a music venue and comedy club as well as an arthouse cinema.
