Edinburgh Hen Party Ideas
If you’re planning the hen weekend to end all hen weekends, Edinburgh is the place to do it. The Scottish capital is one of the UK’s top hen and stag party destinations – a city that has it all!
Whether you are a culture buff, a shopaholic or a party animal, Edinburgh ticks every box. Steeped in history, Edinburgh, like many of the great European capitals that remain largely unscathed by the Second World War, is beautiful. Boasting the world’s first ever ‘skyscrapers’, the medieval Old Town is the heart of Edinburgh, with the Royal Mile stretching from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace (the Queen’s residence when in the city) where every nook, cranny and close tells a different and fascinating story about this magical city.
History aside, Edinburgh is home to the National Gallery of Scotland, as well as the National Portrait Gallery and a multitude of smaller but equally as impressive galleries. With a wealth of theatres and live music venues from the Playhouse (home to West End touring productions) to the Cowgate’s legendary Bannermans pub, you are spoilt for choice in Edinburgh. Every year the city plays host to the world’s largest arts festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, when the population of the city doubles and you have a show on every corner. From big name comedians like Al Murray to local theatre troupes, you are surrounded by culture 24/7 during the month of August.
The capital’s nightlife scene has something for everyone, from sleek cocktail bars like Tigerlily to rock bars (Opium being amongst the city’s finest). To make sure you really shake it in style, whatever your favourite venue, Charm School will give you and your hens the moves you need. From go-go to can-can, burlesque to Flashdance, Charm School have a whole sexy syllabus of brilliant hen party ideas – Edinburgh won’t know what’s hit it.
The nightlife areas of Edinburgh are centred around the Cowgate and Grassmarket in the Old Town, and the cocktail crowd tend to head to George Street in the New Town. From the sophisticated bar to the old fashioned boozer, Edinburgh caters to all tastes.
Be taught a lesson!
