A garden hen party can feel relaxed and personal, especially when everyone has a place to sit, a way to join in and a plan for the weather. Choose one hosted activity as the anchor, then keep the rest of the day flexible.
Set up the space first
Check that the host has permission for outside suppliers and that there is enough sheltered space if the weather turns. Have a clear arrival point, access to water and power if needed, and somewhere safe to lay out supplies. Let guests know about uneven ground, shade and parking before they arrive.
Choose your main event
A cocktail masterclass brings two hours of hands-on fun to your venue. We bring spirits, ice, mixers, garnishes, ingredients and glassware. The three-cocktail option is £40 per person; four cocktails cost £45. Both have a ten-person minimum charge, which smaller groups can choose to pay.
Life drawing works well as a 90-minute afternoon icebreaker if you have a suitable private space. The rate is £25 per person, or £22.50 if paid in full. The bride goes free within ten total attendees. Ask about combining it with cocktails; a deal may be possible depending on date and availability.
Make the evening your own
A buff butler can serve drinks, host games and help with photos for two hours. A male performer can offer a 15–20 minute surprise show. Both start at £180 each with travel included and are subject to availability. Make sure your garden has a private, suitable area for the experience you choose.
Have a simple wet-weather plan, food and water for the group, and a comfortable time between activities. Send Oliver your date, postcode and ideas so he can check the team and help shape the running order.
