The Details
Edinburgh is a world famous city, and is somewhere that hosts many amazing hen dos at all times of the year – and it has done since we started planning hen dos! The capital of Scotland is one of the most famous party cities that the UK has to offer, and while it may be particularly famous for its festivals, the fact that it is home to one of the largest universities in the country gives you some idea just how good it’s entertainment and nightlife is all year round.
Our “Scottish Experience” package starts off by making sure that you have two nights accommodation – and don’t worry, it’s not going to be in some seedy hostel several miles into the middle of nowhere – we promise our accommodation will be in a great location, and at least Silver quality. This means that it won’t break the bank from a budgetary perspective, but it’ll be of a quality and style that you will appreciate.
The main aspect of the “Scottish Experience” is the daytime activity that could not be more Scottish if it tried – the Mini Highland Games. This is one of those activities that you’ll never get to try anywhere else, so you should just absolutely embrace it on your Edinburgh Hen Do. You’ll be competing in a set of classic Scottish activities – some famous, some ridiculous, all a huge amount of fun. Depending on your group size, you’ll either be competing against each other in teams, or competing against other groups – so you’ll get to embrace your competitive side either way.
Activities include (but are not limited to):
The traditional Caber Toss - where you’ll take a ridiculously large piece of wood, and then toss it as far as humanly possible
Haggis rolling - which is exactly what it sounds like – a competition to see how far and fast you can roll a haggis
Hurling the Wellies – Grab that welly and fling it as far as you can, it sounds easy, but have you ever tried it? It is a skill that must be mastered!
Tug Of War – The ultimate test of strength, one rope, two teams, only one can be the victor..
As well as including the Mini Highland Games, our “Scottish Experience” also embraces that other well known activity that links both Hen Dos in general and Scotland in particular – drinking! The package includes VIP access and entries to a large selection of bars, clubs and other nightspots that you may be interested in. Just have a chat when you book the package with us, and we can make sure we are sending you to the types of places you will love – as the old saying goes, if you don’t ask, you don’t get!
And that’s the “Scottish Experience” hen do package in a nutshell. I am sure you can see why it’s one of our more popular options, coupling an amazing activity with all the other basics you need for an Edinburgh Hen Do – a perfect way to celebrate the bride’s new life!
