Big laughs on your hen do in Cardiff?

With nearly 70 different daytime activities to choose from and over 30 options for a big night out, you really are spoilt for choice! When it comes to giving the nearly-wed a big send off, Cardiff is a fantastic choice, with a massive combination of things to try and do. A dance class in the morning is a great way to get everyone moving and talking, and you can always grab some lunch whilst doing some shopping after for a bit of down time to recover. An afternoon session to get you pumped for the night ahead is a great idea - ideally something that doesn’t get you too messy, like a recording studio session or massage. Top the day off with cocktail mixing or vodka tasting to get you in the party mood, before you hit the clubs! Your big hen night in Cardiff has the potential to be truly unforgettable - the city centre has a fantastic range of bars, pubs and clubs which on weekends are full of lively, vibrant partygoers. We can sort you out with guest list clubbing at one of Cardiff’s best nightclubs, or find you some pre club entertainment with a saucy male strip show or a pumping boogie bus!

When to visit Cardiff?

As Wales’ capital, Cardiff is home to fantastic events all year round, whether that’s music festivals, sporting events, or summer celebrations. Your hen do has a good chance of coinciding with a big event, to add a little extra to the party! Through February and March there’s the Six Nations Rugby (which means, ladies, more men out and about on the town in the evening!) and then through May to August Cardiff Bay sees music, shows, and events throughout the whole harbour side area, including plays, performances, and gigs. In June and August, there’s both the Cardiff Summer Festival and Summer Concerts in the Millennium Stadium, and in July there are the Welsh Proms in St David’s Hall. Head over in August for the Cardiff Big Weekend or the Harbour Festival, and then through November to January there’s a magical Winter Wonderland!
