Bournemouth Hen Reviews
We had a fantastic weekend and Stephanie was so helpful.
😍 Amy Cole
The whole booking process and management of the event were amazing even though it was booked at short notice. Any questions were answered straight away. Special thanks to Stephanie for going the extra mile for us.
😍 Toni Bradley
Great experience! All the hard work is done for you through GoHen, hassle-free planning and paying. Definitely worth every minute and every penny!
😍 lucy james
Great service and communication throughout! Fab weekend - I highly recommend them.
😍 Linzi Jones
Amazing hen weekend, the bride cried because she loved it so much! Butler in the buff was so much fun. We want to do the silent disco all over again! Stephanie at Groupia was super helpful with all my questions! Thank you!
😍 Lauren Langford
We had the absolute best weekend! Being the bride and a complete control freak, I booked everything myself and it was seamless. The band pulled out at the last minute due to one of them being unwell but another band were arranged before I knew anything and Stephanie called to let me know and wish me a great weekend. Everyone got stuck in traffic and were running late but after speaking with Stephanie, she arranged for the Butler in the buff to start later so no-one missed anything. Would definitely recommend.
😍 Charley Morton
Overall our experience with Groupia was brilliant! It made sorting a large group of hens so easy and the activities and accommodation were both fantastic!
😍 Natasha Barfield
Booked a hen do for 15 of us and booking through Groupia made the process so easy! Being able to have the guests pay individually and keep track of who had paid was really useful and the cocktail making was really fun! The accommodation was also of very high quality and it provided plenty of spaces for everyone to hang out.
😍 Laura Crawford
Would highly recommend Groupia to anyone that asks! The website was so easy to use and create your own package. Stephanie, our Event Manager, was so helpful and replied really quickly to all of my many questions!
😍 Beth Taylor
I booked an event through GoHen with everything we wanted: glamping, BBQ, bands, butler and silent disco. From the get-go it was easy to book and any questions I had were answered within 24 hours. We had the best weekend with memories we will never forget. Every member has said they would book this again for other events, as it was perfect and everything you could want.
😍 Amy Everett
A great hen weekend, with clear and quick communication! I used GoHen to arrange a Hen Fest weekend in Bournemouth and couldn't recommend them enough! The payment systems was really easy and meant guests paid directly, rather than to me. Stephanie was fantastic, she was really quick at responding to my many and random questions, as well as keeping me updated with the info for the additional activities we had booked. Our accommodation was brilliant, as were the extras we booked through GoHen. Thank you!

A Guide To Your Bournemouth Hen Weekend
Where to Drink in Bournemouth
Walking distance from most city-centre hotels are pubs, bars, nightclubs, luxury cocktail lounges, sports bars and live music joints. We could go on, but you get the point. Short story is, you'll never go thirsty in Bournemouth.
The Triangle is the go-to area for hens, with an easy-to-navigate set up so bars are always in Nan-friendly reach. It's also always great for any LGBT+ celebrators with drinking venues dotted about when you're in need of a beverage. Old Christchurch Road is also a good stop off for some household cocktail bar names if you fancy sticking to what you know.
Sights & Sounds
Sights - Of course Bournemouth's biggest draw is the miles of perfect golden beaches. Not only can you pass a few pleasant hours topping up your tans in the summer months but they are also the perfect place to rest and refresh tender heads in the morning.
The pier! Bournemouth Pier gives a great view along the coast and no trip beside the seaside is complete without a stroll along the "prom-prom-prom" (where the brass bands play tiddly-om-pom-pom).
Sounds - Some of the brightest bands on the music scene head through O'Neill's which is a fantastic place for the best new bands. Indie, Irish folk, rock, acoustic, O'Niell's is a massive advocate of supporting local talent from a wide range of genres and every night really is great craic.
Best Shopping Spots
Vintage Market - Located next to the Royal Arcade on selected Saturdays, this is a great place to pick up some unique items ranging from clothing to crafts and pretty textiles.
Clobber - If you're tired of the same old shops and are a vintage girl at heart then Clobber is definitely worth a visit.
Southbourne - This area, which lies a little further away from Bournemouth's main drag, is packed full of pretty independent bistros, cafes, shops and is within a short walk of the beach and everything you'll want to visit.
Getting Around Bournemouth
Everything in Bournemouth is easily accessible by foot as the town centre is quite compact. If you're looking to head further afield to places like Sandbanks then the buses cut through some incredibly picturesque countryside. Overall though the seaside and beaches really are best explored by foot.
Hen Days
For any South Coast hen party it would be rude not to really enjoy the stunning beaches: Paddleboarding, Surfing, Coasteering and Horse Riding all allow you to take advantage of this outstandingly beautiful stretch of coast.
If being near the water doesn't float your boat you can always line up a dance class for the girls with everything from Thriller to Burlesque to choose from.
Hen Nights
If you're after something a little cheeky then a Male Strip Show or hunky Butlers in the Buff will put a smile on everyone's faces.
Alternatively you could have a few laughs at a Cabaret Show or Comedy Club.
But for any big night out you should expect a little VIP treatment so let us know and we'll arrange guestlist nightclub entry to avoid you having to worry about queuing or struggling to get in to any of your chosen party venues.
