Arrival

You turn up Tyneside for the bride's big send-off! You've got 48 hours to give the bride a send-off worthy of the hen do history books, ditch the bags and head on out, the party isn't going to start itself!

This isn't any old weekend so you can't just partake in any old activity. You decide to crank up the chaos by throwing some inflatable bubble suits into the mix. You and the girls go toe-to-toe across a load of hilarious games as you try and bounce your way to victory!

Well, that was certainly as chaotic as it sounded! All that bouncing is thirsty work, time to get your glam on for your first night out in the Toon. You and the girls decide to throw in a delicious Cuban Meal to energise you for your big night out!

You wanted to give the bride a send-off she wouldn't forget and there's absolutely no way in hell she will be forgetting this one in a hurry!

After Party

This awesome package not only included loads of gorgeous hunks of muscle stripping down to next to nothing, but you also got free entry into the after-show party/nightclub where it's all going off! What a way to end your first night in Newcastle!

How they laughed when you said you were taking sunglasses with you to Newcastle. But who's laughing now, ey?! The sun isn't even out but due to everyone's sore heads, everything appears ten-times brighter than it normally would!

Yes, while some hens would prefer to sit around relaxing with cucumbers resting on their eyelids and fluffy slippers on their feet, that's not really your style! You and the girls decide to battle it out over an awesome Archery And Tomahawk Throwing session - may the best hen win!

Well, although the bride is the kindest, gentlest person you know, she's frighteningly good with a tomahawk. That really was some Lara Croft levels of epic! Wouldn't want to ever get on the wrong side of her! Time for a quick bit of lunch before your afternoon activities.

Activity No.3 - Escape Room

After putting your brawn to the test, it's time to push your brains to the max as you attempt to conquer an awesome escape room! Can you escape King Tut's Tomb in one hour? Or will you be trapped... forever (which would mean missing the wedding which could cause a bit of trouble!). Better get out in time then, ladies!

You managed to get out with seconds to spare! Time to celebrate your great escape in style with some Bubbles and Hunks. Cocktails, prosecco and a hunky topless waiter delivering your drinks as you party like the A-Lister you are!

After visiting a couple of the city's brilliant bars, it's club time once more. You skip the long lines to Newcastle's hottest nightclub and bounce on in for another night of partying. Get the drinks in and hit the dance floor!
