Kirkcaldy Hen Party Ideas
For a Scots hen weekend, Kirkcaldy is a charming location full of life and Scottish charm! As the Kingdom of Fife’s largest town, Kirkcaldy is just across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh (via the magnificent rail or road bridge), perfect for those hen parties that enjoy a mix of town and country life. Situated near Balado, the famous site of Scotland’s largest music festival ‘T in the Park’, the town is ideal for exploring a beautiful part of Scotland on your hen weekend.
Kirkcaldy lays claim to notable residents; it’s the birthplace of the father of economist Adam Smith, and former Prime Minister Gordon Brown was brought up here.
Start your hen party in Kirkcaldy with an exploration of the town by taking a stroll down the High Street, which is one of the oldest and longest in Scotland. The town provides a free heritage trail map that details points of historical interest, so you can stroll and take in some history at the same time. Head to Ravenscraig Castle, built by James II in the 1450s, to get some great views of Fife from the ramparts.
For a spot of culture browse the collections held by the Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery, built in 1925 and situated next to the train station. The art gallery inspired Scottish artist Jack Vettriano, who grew up in the area – and the sometimes saucy subjects of his paintings make ideal subject matter to inspire a sultry burlesque Charm School hen party dance class!
Kirkcaldy is an ideal place from which to explore the local countryside and coastline, and Fife Tourist board offer free downloadable walk guides for you to follow. You can take a walk south from the city past the ruins of the 16th century Seafield Tower, maybe spotting some seals on the way, or take a stroll through Dunnikier Woods – pack a picnic to make the most of the glorious Fife outdoors.
After a day’s sightseeing your hen party deserve to relax, kick back and enjoy Fife’s warm hospitality. Kirkcaldy has a buzzing local nightlife. Centred around the High Street, there are a string of eateries and bars to suit every taste. The cocktail crowd should head to Society for a perfectly mixed glass (or 3) of your favourite tipple, or party the night away at Styx. If you’re planning a truly fabulous hen weekend, Kirkcaldy also place host to feel-good Charm School dance classes, so you can tear up the dance floors all across town!
