VENUE Hen Den

Head to the country for a winter hen weekend in Devon.

Set in idyllic countryside, Hembury Court is the perfect place to hold a luxury hen party. Available all year round, the venue holds up to 17 people with fabulous self-catering cottages and party barns.

Winter hens will find some great deals. In late autumn and winter Hembury treats hens to four quality bottles of champagne in the fridge to help get the weekend off to a bubbly start! The large Canadian hot tub, surrounded by decking is at its best when it is cold outside. And Hembury Court’s luxury 5 star cottages and party barns all have full central heating so that you can celebrate in comfort whatever the weather.

Call in caterers for a meal of your choice, eat at a local farmhouse, visit one of the many excellent nearby restaurants or cook for yourselves - there’s plenty of indoor space to decorate and have fun. Many hen parties enjoy pampering sessions from visiting therapists or a visiting tarot reader; others prefer something more active such as quad biking, raft building, paint balling or clay pigeon shooting. Or why not book a 'butler in the buff'.

To find out more about Hembury Court, call 01404 841 444 or go to henpartylocation.co.uk.
