FAQs - Your Questions Answered

Can we customise our hen party?

Absolutely! We’re here to help you build a tailor-made package that suits your group's interests and preferences. Just let us know what you're looking for, and we’ll make it happen.

What is the typical budget for a hen party?

While prices can vary depending on the accommodation, activities, location and dates, most hen party packages fall between €150 - €300 per person. We offer options to suit a range of budgets, so there's something for everyone!

When should I book the hen?

We recommend booking at least 6 months in advance to secure your preferred activities but most importantly, the accommodation. If you’re planning your hen do during peak times or bank holiday weekends, it’s best to book even earlier.

What if my group size changes closer to the hen?

It’s common for group sizes to drop by around 10% from the initial booking to the final count. The majority of packages won’t be affected by a small change in numbers. There are, however, some exceptions to this such as self-catering accommodation and certain activities that require a minimum group size. Once we have the final group size, we will update our suppliers and if there are any changes to the package price, we will update you then and discuss options.

What happens if someone cancels?

We understand that plans can change. If someone needs to drop out close to the event date, we’ll do our best to adjust the booking. Depending on the package, some cancellation fees may apply, but we aim to be as flexible as possible.
