Exeter Hen Party Ideas

Planning a truly fabulous hen weekend? Exeter is the perfect spot. Stunning Devon in South West England is a beautiful hen party location, and to experience the best of the county, head into the capital for a hen party to remember.

Set in a county of outstanding natural beauty, Exeter is only a short drive from Devon’s breathtaking rolling hills, narrow hedged roads and lush green fields – perfect for a hen party looking for that perfect country/city mix. For nature loving hen weekends, Exeter is the ideal base for exploring the famous Dartmoor National Park and making the most of the beaches of not one but two coastlines.

Exeter has a great mix of history and culture to keep you entertained on your hen party. Sightseeing in Exeter is easy, as the city is a gem to navigate. A must-do is Exeter Cathedral, St Peters, built in 1133. For thrill seeking history buffs, a walk round the fourteenth century Underground Passages under the city streets will give you a great feel for medieval Exeter.

Other attractions that are worth a visit are The House That Moved, Stepcote Hill, St Nicholas Priory, Matthew The Miller Clock and St Mary Steps Church. If you are partial to a historic house or beautifully landscaped gardens then Northernhay Gardens or Rougemont Gardens and Castle are a great addition to your Exeter hen party itinerary. On a rainy day you can marvel at the exhibits in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. The historical Quayside area is a great way to finish your day’s activities as you can treat yourself to a post-sightseeing drink in one of the local bars.

A great way to make the most of a short trip to Exeter is to take a guided walk. Exeter Red Coat Guided Tours offer a selection of guided tours and walks around this beautiful city. If you fancy taking to the outdoors and enjoying the local countryside and beaches then you might want to consider putting Seaton Tramway on your to-do list and make the most of the natural beauty of the region.

Foodies will have all sorts of gastronomic fun in Exeter. Being near the coast, you can guarantee that you will find some of the freshest fish on the menu in the city. For those who like traditional fare, Michael Caines at ABode and Carriages Restaurant should hit the spot. Alternatively head down to the Quay where you can find a range of eateries including Venezia for some Mediterranean inspired dishes.

Hen weekends in Exeter will also find the perfect selection of nightlife. The city centre and the Quay are nightlife hotspots where hen parties are spoilt for choice. You can dance the night away at Club Rococo, The Arena, Mambo or Riva, clubs which are a hit with locals and tourists alike. If you’re planning to pull some serious moves on the dance floor during your hen weekend, Exeter is also host to Charm School dance classes where you can really let your hair down and learn some great moves for later!
