Southampton hen party

It's time for a hen party in Southampton!

Classy, steeped in culture and with an incredible appetite for entertainment, the upbeat quays bring a fantastic fusion of the trendy and traditional to a hen weekend in Southampton.  The city's got history.  It's got fun-filled days.  It's got a glitzy marina, one of the best shopping scenes in the country and it even managed to bag the best spot on the south for soaking up the rays!  And with a young crowd at its core and hundreds of years of thirsty mariners passing through its sparkling waters, the vibrant nightlife is almost as famous as the city itself!  In short girls, a Southampton hen do is the bash that's got it all!

Why choose a Southampton hen party?

From classy to cheeky, modern to medieval and action-packed to utterly laid-back, Europe's favourite port brings a wonderful blend to your hen do. The balmy coastal spot, with the picturesque New Forest on one side, the English Channel on the other, and a vibrant party town at its core, really does offer something for everyone.  And with comfy 2* stays to luxury 4* indulgence and over 50 fantastic activities to fill your sunny days and nights, a hen do with GoHen could well be the pre-wedding party of the year! 

What can a Southampton hen do?

Whatever takes your fancy!  We all know variety is the spice of life - and between the muddy tracks and breathtaking scenery of the New Forest, the sparkling waters of the Solent (dip or dunk, it's up to you!) and the lively city centre fit to bursting with boutiques and bistros, Southampton can be as easy going, action packed or glitzy and glam as you like!

If last night's saucy moves and fruity cocktails have left you with more than just memories of a great night out, why not take to the waves and banish that hangover with a blast of salty sea air?!  Taking to the wheel of a world-class speed boat, or conquering the waves with a turn on the wakeboard or jet-ski is sure to blow away the cobwebs and get pulses racing!  For a gentler way to refresh and recharge, a session in the sauna or heavenly massage will have you feeling fab in no time and if its giggles and feel-good fun you're after then getting into the groove at a top dance session could be the perfect way to kick-start your weekend!

Shop till you drop in Southampton...

The city might be most famous for waving a final goodbye to that ship (and one floppy-haired Mr DiCaprio), but with a multitude of chic stores and vintage boutiques lining its bustling streets, Southampton is a dream destination for modern-day hens keen to kick off those heels and hit the shops running! 

The heart of the city plays host to the phenomenal West Quay Centre, where you'll the have the choice of more than 100 well-known stores and popular eateries, not to mention a fantastic selection of the big fashion brands we all know and love - perfect to treat yourself to a gift (or two) and plan the night's adventures over a frothy cappuccino!  Above Bar Street and The Marlands Centre are great alternatives for a mix of budget, boutique and big brands, and Bedford Place and Oxford Street have a great olde worlde vibe running through the chic boutiques and cafés that line the pavements.  Great for soaking up a bit of the city's historic atmosphere and bagging a reminder of your fab weekend in the south!

When's the best time for a Southampton hen party?

With its rich heritage, pulsating venues, enviable location, incredible shopping and packed calendar of events - phew! - there's always something going on in Southampton!  Whisk the girls to West Quay and treat yourselves at the January sales, or party in the park at May's AccessFest (it's for charidee ladies!).  Sample some fine local refreshments at the annual summer Beer Fest, and join the whole of the partying south for an open air mega-mix at June's Power in the Park!  The uber-trendy and uber-stylish boat-show sails into shore in September and Above Bar precinct has a distinctly European and 'more mulled wine please' flavour when the Christmas market works its festive magic in December.
