Hen Parties

Bath is the perfect hen party destination with lots of fun activities in a beautiful setting. We have a host of activities tailored to hen parties, to ensure you have a brilliant time and leave with something gorgeous as a memento of your day. We can provide afternoon tea, or you’re welcome to bring along something to eat and drink. We’re happy to cater for any sized group, and each activity lasts around 2 hours.

Life-Drawing: Our tutor takes you through a range of drawing techniques and games designed to improve your drawing skills whilst having a right old giggle! All in the presence of a male model, of course!  You each leave with a selection of portraits in different styles. 

Lingerie-Making: A great laugh, with the bonus that you get to make something beautiful to wear! We’ll make garters and/or nipple tassels using our vast selection of lace, ribbon, beads, diamantes and buttons.  We’ll guide you through various techniques and give you inspiration along the way, to create your own lovely lingerie!

Jewellery-Making: You’ll each create a couple of items of jewellery including a necklace, earrings or bracelet. Choose from our array of beads (glass, ceramic, semi-precious etc), before being taken through the beading process, touching on a few techniques depending on the type of jewellery you’d like to make.

Fascinator-Making: Learn how to make a beautiful fascinator, that could even be worn to the wedding! We have a wide range of feathers, veiling, beads and embellishments, so that you can each make something that matches your outfit perfectly.

Bathtime Treat-Making: You’ll learn how to make your own bath bombs & bath cookies. Pick from our delicious array of fragrances and colours, and decorate your treats with our delectable decorations. They’ll look (and you’ll smell) good enough to eat!

Please call or email us for more information, availability and cost. We can also advise on places to stay, eat or party in Bath after your workshop.
