1) Afternoon Tea Bus

If you’re looking for a relaxing activity, an afternoon tea gives you an ideal opportunity to unwind and catch up over some good food and drink. What’s offered varies from venue to venue, but you can expect a range of sweet treats and savoury goodies as well as tea, coffee and even some bubbles to toast your last weekend of freedom. Why not make afternoon tea even more special by having it on a vintage routemaster bus? The afternoon tea bus will take you around the city’s most famous and gorgeous sights as you tuck into a delicious range of food and drink.

2) Cocktail Making

It’s cocktail ‘o clock, ladies! Our cocktail masterclasses are led by experienced and friendly mixologists who’ll teach you how to shake and stir up a storm! They'll perform cocktail making demonstrations before you give it a go yourself, whipping up several cocktails from scratch from old classics to modern favourites. Don’t be intimidated. It's super easy, we promise! All you have to do is show up, grab your hens, show up and let the mixologist show you how it’s done. With their expert tuition, you’ll be sipping on the tastiest drinks in town in no time!

3) Nude Life Drawing

One of our most popular activities is Glasgow hen party life drawing and it’s easy to see why; it teaches you a new skill, gets everyone giggling and involves a bit of naked guy naughtiness without being as in your face (ahem!) as strippers! A professional art instructor guides your tongue-in-cheek session, sharing drawing tips and techniques for you to capture the nude male model in front of you in all his glory! Ask the model to pick his favourite cheeky drawing at the end if you feel brave enough. Expect red faces and lots of giggles with this one!

4) Bar Crawls

A bar crawl is a great way to get a taste of what the city has to offer without having to plan it yourself. You can just sit back, relax and let someone else do all the hard work for you. The best part is that we have so many different bars and pubs to choose from that no matter what type of night out you're after, there will be something for everyone on our crawl. We've got everything from quiet wine bars where you can chat with friends over a glass or two, to hipster cocktail bars that are perfect for dancing till dawn.

5) Bubble Mayhen

We’re sure you’ll be drinking lots of bubbles during your hen weekend but how about turning into bubbles instead? This brilliantly bonkers activity sees each of you climb into a giant, inflatable, one-woman zorb that’ll encase your whole upper body, leaving just your legs free at the bottom to run around and kick. You won’t just look hilarious, you’ll also take part in a range of fun games such as Bump the Bride, British Bulldog, football and more where’ll bounce around the pitch and barge into each other. An event coordinator will explain the rules, keep score and make sure that everyone has an amazing time.

6) Male Strippers

Fancy some hen party eye candy? Then get yourselves to a cheeky male strip show! For many women, male strippers provide a safe space to explore their sexuality and indulge in their fantasies in the company of their besties. These hunky performers are professionals who know how to put on a show that is both sexy and funny. They often have backgrounds in dance, acrobatics, and theatre, which allows them to create a showstopping performance that’ll have your whole group cheering, giggling and blushing in equal measure! You can go out to watch a male stripper or hire a male stripper to come to your home or hired venue. Which tickles your fancy?

7) Buff Butler

If you’re in the mood for something cheeky but not quite as in your face as strippers, why not hire a butler in the buff? He'll turn up wearing a naughty little uniform made up of a bottom-flashing apron, collar, cuffs and bowtie. He’s more than just eye candy though; he's also professional, friendly and will keep everyone happy while they enjoy their evening! He’ll greet your guests and work the room, serving your drinks and nibbles. He knows what he's doing, so he won't spill anything on anyone or drop anything on the floor. To add extra laughs to your night in, he’ll host and join in with hilarious party games that for a night everyone will love.

8) Boozy Brunch

Without a shadow of a doubt, brunch is the best way to kick off your weekend. Whether you're looking for a low-key brunch or something lively with themed entertainment, we've got you covered with a sumptuous boozy brunch. This activity is perfect for a hen do.

Whether you’ve seen movies like Burlesque and Moulin or just fancy being sassy, it’s time to unleash your inner sex kitten with a bit of burlesque dancing! We know she’s in there! A dance instructor will teach you some seriously sassy moves that are bound to tease and please any lucky audience. These sultry moves will then be incorporated into a fun choreographed routine that you’ll perform at the end as a group, feather fans in hand!
