2026 Trends – A Subtle Shift to the Sun
2026 is showing a gentle swing towards European hen party celebrations, with a small but noticeable rise in hens heading abroad for a bit of sun.
The classic UK spa and city hen do still leads the way, but more groups are swapping bathrobes for beach clubs – stretching their weekends into longer, sun-soaked escapes.

The Cost of a Dream Hen Do
You can’t put a price on memories, but you can get a lot for £207. Here’s what our hen party statistics said about cost:
- UK Hen Do – £203pp
- Europe Hen Do – £232pp
“We keep seeing over-sensationalised articles on the internet about hen weekends costing thousands… now, we don’t know where they’re booking, but that is far far far from the truth.
“When you break it down, most UK hens are for two nights with multiple activities included – £207 per person is amazing value for what’s essentially a mini-holiday.
“For groups heading abroad, the celebrations stretch to three or four nights of sun, sea, and celebration. Booking through GoHen keeps everything affordable, stress-free, and totally transparent – no awkward money chats, no hidden extras.”
