Updated December 2025

Liverpool is an amazing city for a hen weekend. In fact, the biggest problem you are going to run into is the sheer amount of choice available. From the cultural heritage of the Beatles to the adrenaline of white water rafting, there is something for everyone.

But with over ninety different activity options available, it can be hard to choose. To help you plan, we have combined the best Paid Activities with the top Free Things to Do to create the ultimate Liverpool itinerary that balances fun with budget.

1. Gin Cocktail Masterclass

The Vibe: Boozy & Educational.

A great variation on the ever-popular cocktail making activity, this masterclass leans into the popularity of Gin. You’ll learn from expert mixologists how to create the perfect Tom Collins or a sparkling Gin Fizz. It’s the perfect icebreaker for ladies with great taste who want to start the night with a touch of class.

2. Visit The Cavern Club

The Vibe: Music Legend & Live Bands.

You can't go to Liverpool without paying homage to the Fab Four. The Cavern Club is arguably the most famous club in the world. While the original cellar was demolished, the rebuilt venue remains true to its roots. With live music playing daily under the iconic brick arches, it’s an intimate venue where you can feel the history. It’s a must-visit for a pint and a singalong.

3. Shop & Dine at Liverpool ONE

The Vibe: Retail Therapy.

Free Activity: Liverpool ONE is the largest open-air shopping centre in the UK, housing over 40 acres of retail therapy. From designer stores like Karen Millen to high-street favourites, it has everything. Even if you’re just window shopping, it’s a great place to kill a few hours. Grab a bite at the terrace restaurants or challenge the girls to a round of adventure golf at the on-site course.

4. Old School Sports Day

The Vibe: Nostalgic Competition.

A perfect activity for combining the competitiveness of adulthood with the silliness of childhood. The Old School Sports Day splits you into "Houses" (bibs included!) to compete in classic games like the Egg and Spoon race, the Sack Race, and the Three-Legged Race. It’s a brilliant way to burn off energy and get everyone laughing before the drinking starts.

5. The Royal Albert Dock & Tate Liverpool

The Vibe: Culture & waterfront views.

Free Activity: The historic Albert Dock is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a stunning place for a walk. It is also home to the Tate Liverpool, which displays the UK's national collection of modern art. Entry is free, so you can soak up some culture (and admire the Dali masterpiece) without spending a penny. The area is packed with bars and cafes for a pitstop afterwards.

6. Recording Studio Experience

The Vibe: Pop Star Dreams.

Admit it, you’ve always wondered what it’d be like to be a chart-topping megastar. On your Liverpool hen weekend, that dream can come true. You and your party will head into a professional recording studio to record your very own version of the bride's favourite song. You get a professionally mixed copy to take home—perfect for playing at the wedding reception!

7. Visit Crosby Beach ("Another Place")

The Vibe: Fresh Air & Art.

Free Activity: About 7 miles north of the city lies Crosby Beach, home to Anthony Gormley’s art installation "Another Place." It consists of 100 cast-iron life-size statues facing out to sea. It’s a surreal, beautiful place for a walk to blow away the cobwebs on a Sunday morning. Just remember to check the tides!

8. White Water Rafting

The Vibe: Wet & Wild Adrenaline.

If you want something more physical, head to the Liverpool water sports centre. You’ll tackle spine-tingling rapids in an inflatable raft with your friends. Can you make it through without capsizing? It’s an intense thrill ride perfect for adrenaline-hungry hen parties who don't mind getting their hair wet.

9. Liverpool Cathedral

The Vibe: Gothic Grandeur.

Free Activity: This Gothic masterpiece is one of the largest cathedral buildings in the world. Standing for over 100 years, it is definitely worth a visit just to admire the sheer scale of the arches and stained glass. Inside, you’ll find 'The Welsford' bistro which offers unrivalled views across the city—a hidden gem for a coffee break.

10. Stay in a Liverpool Party Apartment

The Vibe: City Living.

While hotels are fine, the best way to experience Liverpool is by booking a private Party Apartment in the city centre. This gives you a communal space to get ready, play games, and enjoy pre-drinks together.

Check out Harrys Apartments for a central base, or the stunning Party Gaff which sleeps up to 22 guests. For true luxury, the Party Pad offers New York-style penthouse views over the city.
