GoHen were very efficient and took all the stress away when booking a hen do. The ABBA dance and cocktail-making classes were fantastic and all staff were very friendly. Stephanie was amazing! Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for her. Really appreciated how quickly I heard back from her. The bride-to-be and the hens had a super weekend in Chester and I would certainly recommend GoHen to anyone!

GoHen has been fantastic in helping me book my cousin's hen do. They helped when we were unsure of numbers and got us a good deal on our activities. One of the activities we did was Clay Pigeon Shooting, which was on my cousin's bucket list. Everyone had an amazing time! All the activities were timed brilliantly with some downtime in between.

Whether you want energetic, relaxed, sophisticated or glamorous, Chester's got you covered when it comes to finding a beverage.
If you're a fan of the good old British local then there are plenty of pubs dotted along North Street. Pub crawl, anyone?!
The Ye Olde style of the town means you're in Instagram heaven, and on summer weekends the wide streets are packed as the stylish range of watering holes throw open the French doors and the outdoor seating fills up.
In the city centre, you're never far from somewhere to grab a cocktail or two, and down by the canal, you can sit in the sun whilst enjoying a sweet glass of summin-summin delish.
Sights - Chester has a wealth of options to choose from, from the fantastic shops, world renowned zoo, roman amphitheatre to the Blue Planet Aquarium. If you're looking for some fresh air, the morning after the night before then Grosvenor Park is a nice clean area to take a stroll and rest your hangovers. Alternatively head along to Ness Gardens which is a truly spectacular spot to stretch your legs and get some great photos.
Sounds - Fans of live music should definitely make a pilgrimage to Telford's Warehouse. Not only do they have a canny knack of finding the best up and coming artists but with a rather fine food, extensive drinks menu, beer garden overlooking the river and great atmosphere this has to be one of the city's best venues.
Lily Vintage - Fantastic vintage and retro clothes from this quirky and fun independent store. We're big fans of Lily and think you will be too.
Altered Chic - A superb gift, design shop where you'll find all manor of great gifts and ideas for the bride-to-be's big day.
The Grosvenor Centre - If you do find a need to go fantastic with the plastic then you can give your credit card a workout at the Grosvenor where you'll find the big high street chains.
Chester has superb rail links getting into the city. The most effective way of getting about is by trusty bus. You can buy Zone travel cards and day passes giving you unlimited travel over a set period.
However for nights out the city centre is neatly compact enough to navigate by foot.
If the bride wants somewhere pretty but still fun, a Chester hen do balances both nicely. It's compact, stylish, and easy to navigate in heels. If your group wants a much bigger night out, a Liverpool hen weekend or Manchester hen do is the obvious move. For another beautiful setting, a York hen weekend works brilliantly, while a Harrogate hen do leans more elegant. Want to go grander? An Edinburgh hen weekend is always tempting.
There is no end to the Chester hen party shenanigans available, from elegant vintage Afternoon Tea, a sizzling Burlesque Dance Class to shaking it up with Cocktail Mixing the world really is your lobster. Thrill seeking hens will particularly love the Trampoline Cave Adventure or you can just relax with a Pampering Day.
