To think this would be a fun hen do?

[ObiJuanKenobi]

I'm getting married later in the year and starting to think about hen/stag dos.
I'm really not the party type and the thought of inflatable willies and a male stripper fill me with dread. I also don't want to travel abroad or anywhere for a big night out - it's just not me.
Most of my friends have a city break and a weekend out of the country for their hen dos and people always fall out / moan about the cost of it all and I really want my friends to have a good time and not dread the invite.

Anyway, I looked online at our 'local' Center Parcs which is an hours drive away and for a weekend (fri-mon) for 8 of us works out at £850 late sept/early Oct.
I appreciate there will be food and drink on top but DP and I have decided to pay £500 towards it so it works out at £350 split between the remaining 7 guests for 3 nights.

I thought we could fill up the cars with booze and food and hit the rapids and the spa and just have a getaway.

Would you be happy with this? We are all mid-late 20s.

I would love that as a hen party

Yup sounds spot on! Id say yes for sure.

God yes. Much much better than a weekend in Blackpool trawling the pubs and clubs. Not that I would go to that.

I’ve been to a hen do at Center Parcs, it was brilliant.

That'd be amazing!

I’d go 👍🏻

Double check that they allow same sex groups as lots dont anymore unfortunately, but it sounds like a lovely weekend

It would be my idea of a perfect hen do nowadays!

Sounds perfect. I'd definitely be looking forward to it.

Sounds fab

We're having a weekend in the country for mine, walks and a quiet pub trip, can't wait.

Yours sounds perfect! But don't tell CP it's a hen do - they ban them due to the inflatable willy brigade. As long as you're not wearing L plates and screeching you'll be fine though

I’ve been on a hen weekend in certer parks as well - was fun! Go for it!,

Great idea OP and a lovely gesture to help with the cost.

Have a fab time xx

lovewine I think a single sex group is fine but you can't mention hen or stag afaik.

I'd love it! If anyone drops out let me know!

I think its really nice you are contributing to the cost. Id sugest you also keep your eyes peeled for some bargains of fizzy you could co tribute to too.

Sounds great and affordable. Hope it all goes well.

Sounds amazing

I personally don't like a hen do that lasts more than a day, but it does sound like fun. I assume your intended guests are likely to be able to do a weekend getaway without too much hassle?

Can I come please?

Sounds perfect to me!

Merryoldgoat ahem im already first reserve!

Yup, sounds fab. Have a great time!!

I didn't want a giant hen do so went out for all you can eat Chinese food and lots of wine with half a dozen friends. Was more of a "hen don't" but it was lovely.

Omg that would be perfect.
