Middlesbrough Hen Party Ideas
If you’re planning a great hen weekend, Middlesbrough, situated in the North East of England, is an underutilised gem of a hen party destination – easy to navigate and perfect for those on a budget. So, why not visit the city to see off your singledom in style?
Culture buffs would do well to visit Mima (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art); situated centrally, it houses an impressive collection of modern art from sculpture to print work – and better still it has free admission! For Downton Abbey fans, you might want to recreate your own drama in Ormesby Hall, a gorgeous 18th century manor house on the outskirts of Middlesbrough and marvel at the ornate plasterwork and decoration. To get a feel for Middlesbrough and the surrounding area take a trip to the famous Tees Transporter Bridge and Visitor Centre.
For those who prefer an activity-based hen party, at Saltholme Wildlife Reserve, you’ll find lots of amazing wildlife walks. For a real challenge Rock Antics will certainly deliver by teaching you rock climbing basics, while the Transporter Bridge offers bungee jumps.
After an exhausting day, your hen party will certainly deserve a relaxing drink… so, if you are after an indulgent tea and scone make your way to the vintage inspired Olde Young Tea House. If a good old fashioned boozer is more to your taste then the Southfield is worth a visit, after that why not sample of the finest in Middlesbrough’s hospitality with a trip to the Central (winner of 2012 Middlesbrough Best Bar None award). After that you can dance the night away at the Keys. For a truly unique experience, head to Mink, a tattoo coffee bar, where you can sip a coffee or an alcoholic beverage on a repurposed fairground waltzer.
Be taught a lesson!

Natalie K, for burlesque hen party LondonI just wanted to say that we had an absolutely fabulous time at our burlesque hen party in London, you made us all feel at ease, especially as some of the girls were nervous about the lesson. Your bubbly and enthusiastic nature was infectious and you made sure that we were all having fun throughout, from choosing our own burlesque names to showing off our moves to music. The fact that you are a burlesque performer gave a more personalised and authentic touch to the lesson. Prehaps the most important thing was that the hen had a fantastic time. Massive thanks and if we are ever again in London needing a burlesque lesson we will definitely get in touch! (written to Viva Misadventure, company director and burlesque performer/teacher)
