Liverpool: The gem of UK hen-do destinations
Planning the perfect hen-do can feel almost as big as planning the wedding itself. There’s so much to think about from setting a budget, choosing an accessible destination for everyone, curating activities, managing group logistics… and so much more.
While many bridal parties jet away to distinct locations and soak up sun, or revel in new culture, we for one, are all for a staycation to celebrate the bride’s last night of freedom. But out of more than 25 UK cities to choose from, which one guarantees the ultimate stylish send-off?
New research from immersive cocktail bar Alcotraz has done all of the hard work for you, compiling the finest hen-do locations across the UK. And the gem that is Liverpool has made it into the top 10.
The city was judged on key party planning criteria such as safety, affordability, and hen-activity and nightlife options. So, you don't even need to leave the region to ensure the best hen party... ever!
Liverpool, also known as the pop capital, has produced more chart-topping individuals than anywhere else in the world. The city came fourth thanks to its number of late-night venues, and third out of 25 for low travel costs, making it a perfect destination for hen parties looking to see and experience its colourful history and diverse attractions.
Sam Shearman, founder of Inventive Productions and immersive prison cocktail experience Alcotraz says, "We know how much effort goes into planning a hen-do, and we wanted to provide some real data to help people make informed choices. This shows that a memorable pre-wedding celebration doesn't have to mean going abroad or spending a fortune. You can have just as unforgettable an experience closer to home."
