You’ll find an abundance of water sports and outdoor activities on offer to Hen parties in Bournemouth. Take a look at our activities section for some specially selected activity packages, including surf lessons.

You certainly don’t have to be a beach bum to have an amazing Hen weekend in Bournemouth. You can ice skate, try your luck in the arcades or have a laugh on the fairground rides along the pier. If you fancy seeing some scary sharks, visit the aquarium called Oceanarium. Our favourite attraction is Monkey World – you’ll want to take a baby chimp home with you after visiting this amazing ape rescue centre.

In the town centre, there are fashion boutiques, jewellery stores, modern shopping malls and Victorian arcades. Castle Point Retail Park is just a few miles out of town and a heavenly shopping experience, where every Hen party will is sure to find something they love at a bargain price in high street giants such as TK Max.

Men don’t care where they crash for the night, but ladies do and Henparties.com has gone to every effort to find the best quality accommodation in town for each price range.

We offer a selection of 2, 3 and 4 star hotels. 4 star is for ladies who want a bit of a treat, a hotel bar, a hairdryer, free soaps and shower hats and excellent service. 3 star is good, all-round, clean and comfortable accommodation. 2 star is basic and fine if you are on a tight budget, but don’t expect Buckingham Palace!

All rooms have en suite bathrooms and every hotel is centrally located with good security, so you can easily find your way back there to shower and change into your party clothes and, importantly, to sleep safely at the end of the night. A tasty breakfast is included in all packages – essential fuel for the morning after!

If you want to have a chat about a suitable hotel for your group, just pick up the phone and we will be happy to advise.

Every Hen party considers a stripper. From our experience, it’s pot luck as to whether the stripper or strip show you book is great or a complete waste of money. Having spoken to lots of Hen parties about exactly what they want from a strip show (apart from GORGEOUS men), they revealed that ladies want:

• Toned, tall, well-endowed masculine men – either model-like or “rough and ready”.

• Men who want to please/tease and don’t take themselves too seriously - no slimy, vain men.

• A show that reveals all but without being seedy and in your face - something a bit more classy.

• Top entertainment and value for money - a proper show and not just a quick strip.

• Very sexy, rather naughty, but professionally done.

• Exciting and unforgettable.

Well, your wishes have come true, ladies! Henparties.com has found a top show with the perfect combination of all of the above: Adonis Cabaret...

World famous for their professional performances and highly recommended by several celebrities, Adonis Cabaret gives you 2 hours of unadulterated pleasure with the hottest male strippers of your dreams. It’s much more than just a strip show – the main focus is of course the strippers, but there are also genuinely hilarious comedy acts from drag queens, lots of cheeky games and surprises and a fab choice of music from the dj’s.

The show’s big venue is Lava Ignite, Bournemouth’s top night club for Hen parties, where you will be given free, exclusive club entry all night. When you arrive at 7pm, be prepared to go weak at the knees when greeted by the most gorgeous doorman you have ever seen. Then we treat you to a cocktail reception, mouth-watering buffet supper and lots of free party gifts before the show...After the show (if you haven’t already fainted with overwhelming desire), the hunky strippers are eager to meet you and they’re even better close up! You’ll already be in the best club in town, so make your way onto the dance floor and let your hair down in style. Heaven!! Adonis Cabaret is definitely the naughtiest, most entertaining way to spend 2 hours on your Hen night in Bournemouth before the real partying begins.
