4 adrenaline-filled activities for a memorable hen do

Being a bridesmaid is always an honour and a great opportunity to help the bride-to-be have the perfect wedding. However, it comes with its set of responsibilities, the most important one being the hen do – aka the big party put together especially for the bride!

Planning a thrilling hen do may seem like a daunting task, especially if you’ve never been to one. But worry not, whether you’re looking for a hen do in Leicester or wherever else you stay, there are many incredible, adrenaline-filled activities that are guaranteed to ensure an unforgettable time for the bride and her hens.

I’ve put together a list of different-to-the-norm and thrilling activities for a memorable hen do that you can consider trying out.

1. A recreational shooting experience

For something gripping and intense, a recreational shooting experience is a great activity! Whether it is an air rifle or the challenging clay pigeon shooting, there are many options available depending on your budget and what is easiest to get to. Just make sure that all the hens are prepared with the necessary safety tips and instructions to make the most of the experience.

This activity provides the entire squad with the perfect opportunity to get competitive and go all out to score the highest. Paired with her favourite people around, the bride is sure to have a memorable hen do experience.

2. Challenging treasure or scavenger hunts

Since there’s a chance that all the hens might not know each other well, a treasure or scavenger hunt might be the perfect way for everyone to bond and get to know one another better.

All the hens can gather up and put together a list of clues and fun riddles designed to lead to amazing gifts or the ultimate treasure. With a camera in hand, you can capture all the fun moments from the hunt as the bride tries to solve all the clues.

Additionally, you can hide clues or riddles all over the town and have a nice time exploring and making the most of the activity. Another idea you can consider is to make each clue personalised and based on the bride. It’ll definitely be something she’ll always remember…

3. A murder mystery event

If the bride loves mystery and the thriller genre, this activity is perfect. To take it up a notch, go all out and get costumes and props to make the experience even more enjoyable. With one of the squad members falling victim to a horrendous crime, it is up to the bride and her squad to solve the mystery and find the murderer – the task won’t be as easy as it seems.

Make sure to decorate the place to fit the murder mystery theme and perhaps have similar themed food and drinks to emerge yourselves in the experience.

4. Have a fun and relaxed beach day!

If the bride loves the sun-and-sand experience, a beach day might be the perfect idea. It can be as relaxing or as energetic as you wish it to be! From fun volleyball competitions, races and water activities to a picnic and drinks on the hammock – there’s a whole list of incredible things to do on the beach.

A hen do is an amazing opportunity for the bride’s friends to organise an amazing party for her before she begins her new journey in life. While I’ve only listed out a few adrenaline-filled activities, there are many more ideas that you can consider for your celebration.
