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 Brighton 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 county to ensure the best hen party... ever!

Brighton, a jewel on England's Southern coast is renowned for its diverse communities and large and vibrant music and arts scene. It is known far and wide as one of the most lively and bohemian cities in the UK, and scored highly for its range of nightlife venues and hen-do activities, solidifying Brighton's reputation as a leading destination for pre-wedding celebrations.

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."

Inspired by Hollywood Film and TV that have brought to life popular prison stories, Alcotraz is a theatrical immersive experience of the highest kind. From your very own orange jumpsuit upon entrance to the real metallic cells, Alcotraz venues are more than just themed cocktail bars, they combine the very best of immersive theatre with a world-class cocktail experience. Whether a birthday celebration, hen or a stag, date night or any reason to be locked behind bars, Alcotraz becomes the perfect backdrop to enjoy a quirky night out within an intimate, yet epic environment.
