Cambridge Hen Party Ideas
Boat races, stunning vistas and university dons – that’s not all this city has to offer your hen party. Cambridge is an increasingly popular hen party destination, a beautiful, vibrant university town that will wow you and your girls!
When most people think of Cambridge, the first things that spring to mind are elite universities, rowing and sipping Pimm’s by the river… but this town has much more to offer. As you’re in a famous university town, those hen parties who want to bask in its academic glory can head to the University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum, which holds world-class art and antiquities (and is free to enter). Following it up with a gander round Kettle’s Yard, a major centre for contemporary and 20th century art will definitely give you your culture fix.
A beautiful town, Cambridge offer a plethora of outdoor pursuits that are ideal for a hen weekend with a bit of al fresco action. With bike tours and walking tours, you can enjoy the medieval architecture of the city in a number of ways. To enjoy Cambridge at its best, have a punt down the River Cam and follow that up with a picnic on the banks of the river (and treat yourself to that Pimm’s). During the summer, the town hosts ‘Summer in the City’, which provides a programme of outdoor concerts and theatre that can be enjoyed in the open air. There are no shortage of speciality festivals in Cambridge including the Folk Festival, Beer Festival, the Big Weekend and the Secret Garden Party – so be sure to check out whether your hen party falls on these dates.
Foodies will have a field day in Cambridge which houses the Michelin starred Midsummer House, and a host of modern British cuisine inspired options like Alimentum. Vegans should make a beeline for the Rainbow Cafe. Post dinner, let you hair down by heading to the Fountain or Baroosh Bar.
Be taught a lesson!

Natalie K, for burlesque hen party LondonI just wanted to say that we had an absolutely fabulous time at our burlesque hen party in London, you made us all feel at ease, especially as some of the girls were nervous about the lesson. Your bubbly and enthusiastic nature was infectious and you made sure that we were all having fun throughout, from choosing our own burlesque names to showing off our moves to music. The fact that you are a burlesque performer gave a more personalised and authentic touch to the lesson. Prehaps the most important thing was that the hen had a fantastic time. Massive thanks and if we are ever again in London needing a burlesque lesson we will definitely get in touch! (written to Viva Misadventure, company director and burlesque performer/teacher)
