What Is a ‘Hen Fest’?
Have you been handed the honour (and pressure!) of planning the ultimate hen party—but know the bride’s not a fan of plastic tiaras, city clubs, or cringey dares?
Then it’s time to ditch the clichés and embrace the magic of a hen fest—a festival-style hen weekend filled with laughter, fresh air, and flower crowns.
Let’s break it down…
A brides ‘hen’ is her tribe of women gathering to celebrate love, friendship, and the wild days before “I do.” A fest is, of course, a festival—as in ‘Glastonbury’, as in barefoot dancing, tipi glamping, cowgirl boots, botanical cocktails, and dreamy sunset vibes.
Put the two together and you’ve got the ultimate boho hen party: a laid-back, laughter-packed weekend of outdoor fun, where you swap city bars for campfires, posh suitcases for wheelbarrows, and hangovers for herbal teas and naps in a grassy field.
A hen fest is exactly what it sounds like—a festival-themed hen weekend filled with outdoor adventures, boho vibes, and unforgettable memories. Think Glastonbury meets girl gang getaway: tipi glamping, craft workshops, campfire feasts, and botanical cocktails under the stars.
