When it comes to planning an unforgettable hen do, the Peak District offers a unique combination of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. Nestled in the heart of England, this stunning national park is an ideal location for brides-to-be and their closest friends to celebrate in style. A Peak District hen do provides a range of experiences, from adrenaline-pumping outdoor activities to indulgent spa days and charming countryside escapes. Whether you’re an adventurous group looking for outdoor challenges, a laid-back crew seeking luxury and relaxation, or a mix of both, this region has something for everyone.
There are many reasons to choose a Peak District Hen Do, including the gorgeous scenery (which provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable celebration), the fact that it’s centrally located which makes it easy to reach regardless of where in the UK you are travelling from, the variety of activities available, and the fact that it is full of charming villages, the likes of which you won’t see anywhere else in the country.
One of the most important factors of a successful Peak District hen do is choosing the right accommodation. Luckily, the Peak District has a huge range of options available that cover all requirements, desires and budgets.
For many, the ideal choice is a gorgeous Party House or Cottage. This gives you a private base for the weekend. For massive groups, we have the incredible Silver Screen Villa, which sleeps up to 40 guests with a hot tub and cinema room! If you want luxury with a private swimming pool, check out The Swallow.
For a classic countryside feel with stunning views, Idyllic Cottages is a charming option near Matlock. Or, if you want to be near the amenities of Buxton, Peak Star is a fantastic self-catering house sleeping 18.
Another popular alternative can be a luxury hotel with spa facilities on site, or even Glamping. Luxury yurts, bell tents, and shepherd’s huts provide a unique and memorable experience while still offering creature comforts – the best of both worlds.
Daytime activities for a Peak District Hen Do are many and varied. Whatever kind of weekend you are after, you’ll find some perfect options here. If you want to explore the outdoors, then why not try hiking, rock climbing, abseiling or caving? All of these give you the chance to explore the gorgeous scenery in new and interesting ways.
Maybe you don’t want to spend the weekend outside, and you’d like some of that famous relaxation that you’ve heard so much about? If that’s the case, why not head for a Spa Day at one of the many popular spas in the Peak District. Facials, Massages, thermal baths and many more treatments can be booked.
Workshops are another popular option for a Peak District Hen Do – whether that is something exclusive to the area such as a Bakewell Pudding Workshop (where you’ll get to make the tastiest dessert you have ever eaten), or whether it’s a more traditional hen do activity like a dance workshop – either way it’ll be one hell of a memorable experience!
Food and drink are essential to any hen celebration. Obviously there are normal pubs and restaurants, offering you a wide range of food and drink options. Afternoon Tea is always a hen classic, and whether you choose a traditional afternoon tea, or one with prosecco or cocktails, you know you’ll have a good time. There’s also the option of Bottomless Brunch (the boozier cousin of Afternoon Tea).
The Peak District may seem like a calm place, but there are a huge range of options available to you for nights out. There are many classic traditional pubs in the Peak District, some of which have live music. Obviously the more traditional bars and clubs can be found in the towns in the area. The other thing is that if you choose a Holiday Home, you’ll find that there are many nightlife activities that you can book to come to you – cocktail making, portable disco, private chef, stripper, whatever you fancy!
