The perfect hen party

There are many options to have the best girlie night before the wedding, but here are our top 10 favourite ideas.

---

Get made over

Treat yourself and your fellow hens to some top class pampering and get a lasting reminder of the day with some gorgeous photos after a professional photoshoot.

Pampering heaven

Explore some of the many luxury spas around the country or indeed world. How about the Sanctuary in London, Nirvana Spa in Berkshire or Champneys around the country.

Hit the town

Choose a place, choose your hotel, choose your restuarant and choose your hotel and of course decide who's driving if it's UK based and your sorted. Brighton, London, Manchester and Bristol are some hot spots.

Shop until you drop

For those who have too much cash to burn a girly shopping trip to New York could just be the thing. For the less adventurous how about a trip to London or to a designer outlet village such as Bicester Village or Cheshire Oaks then treat yourselves to a slap up meal so you can see what everyone else has bought.

Day at the races

The perfect opportunity to treat yourselves to a new frock and of course hat, shoes and bag. Check out Channel 4 racing for dates. Then all you have to do is get the champers of Pimms in and make it a day to remember.

Canal and pub tour

Enjoy a Spring or Summer's day touring Britain's rich industrial heritage. Take it in turns to operate the locks and get the rounds in at all the pubs.

Go clubbing mad

Hop on a plane and party the night away in Ibiza for the weekend. Grab some sun in the day and you'll feel fit and tanned for the next round of wedding planning.

Hit the beach

Not of the Mediterranean or Caribbean variety, but a good old British beach of course. And if the weather lets you down there's always plenty to do whether it's munching on candyfloss or having a go at the arcades.

Thrill factor

It's not all about bungee jumping or throwing yourself from a plane - girls loves a bit of an adrenaline rush too so don't leave the fast cars just for the boys. From Ferrari driving to a day at a top theme park, you could have a whale of a time.
