Getting around
One of the things we love most about a Birmingham hen weekend? How easy it is to reach, wherever you’re coming from. Being slap bang in the middle of the country, it’s a breeze for groups travelling from different places, thanks to great train links and simple journeys all round.
If you’re arriving by train, head to Birmingham New Street Station, where you’ll land straight in the heart of the action. You’ll be a stone’s throw from the Bullring Centre, and will easily be able to walk or hop in a cab to any city centre hotel or accommodation. Plus, once you’re here, the city is a total doddle to navigate. It’s compact, and everything including the main nightlife, restaurants and activities are usually just a short stroll from one another.
If you do need to go a bit further or just can’t deal with walking, taxis and ride shares like Uber are readily available and are pretty affordable. The city also boasts a decent choice of public transport, and you’ll have plenty of buses and trams at your disposal! Just remember to check timetables in advance to ensure you reach your destination on time.
Tips and ideas
Where do we even start with tips and ideas for a hen do in Birmingham? This city is absolutely bursting with things to see and do. We’ve rounded up our top suggestions below, along with some handy planning tips to help you organise a weekend the group will love for all the right reasons. Remember, you can easily mix lively activities with more relaxed moments, which keeps the weekend balanced, fun, and most importantly, avoids burnout!
Shop ‘til You Drop
Birmingham is a shopper’s dream, and a hen weekend is the perfect excuse to indulge in some retail therapy. The Bullring is packed with all the usual high-street favourites, as well as some boutique gems for those looking for something a bit different. Prefer somewhere a little more picturesque? Take a stroll along the canals for a coffee, cocktail, or even a cheeky prosecco while enjoying the waterside views. Or head to the Jewellery Quarter, where stylish shops, bars and restaurants make browsing, sipping and snack breaks equally fun.
Brunch, Bubbles & Cocktails
Start the day right with bottomless brunch, because what’s a hen weekend without a bit of fizz? Birmingham has plenty of spots to enjoy brunch favourites, cocktails, and plenty of girl talk. Cocktail-making classes are another winner, where you’ll learn all the best kept secrets to whipping up your very own concoctions!
Active & Silly Fun
If your group wants to kick things up a notch, activities like bubble mayhen are a total laugh. Bounce, giggle, and get a little competitive – it’s hysterically silly, and works brilliantly for a hen weekend. Add in games or quirky challenges and you’ve got a morning or afternoon packed with all kinds of hilarious comedy moments that no one will be forgetting in a hurry!.
Spa & Chill Options
Not everyone wants to be bouncing off the walls all day, and we totally get that. So why not arrange for the hen group to indulge in a spa session, massage, or afternoon tea? These activities are the perfect way to slow down the pace, and are a fabulous way for everyone to relax and catch up.
Helpful planning tips:
- Don’t be afraid to mix things up with a combination of high-energy activities with chilled ones to keep everyone happy
- Share a clear itinerary in advance so everyone knows what’s happening and what to expect
- Be sure to build in breaks between plans so that the gang can enjoy some downtime
- Book popular activities and restaurants early, especially if you’re planning for a large hen group
- Keep things flexible if you can, so that the hens can join in as much or as little as they like
Nightlife
Birmingham has a brilliant nightlife scene for a hen party, with something for every type of group. If you want to ease into the evening, start with cocktails or tapas in the city centre, where buzzing lounges and stylish bars sit side by side. It’s a great way to get the group chatting, laughing, and ready for the night ahead.
For groups that want a lively night out, look no further than Broad Street. This is Birmingham’s hottest nightlife area, and packed with bars, clubs, and venues that welcome hen groups with open arms. Whether you’re a group that wants a vibrant, insta-worthy bar for drinks with pumping tunes or you want to throw shapes on the dancefloor with a like-minded crowd, everything is here. Get ready to dance the night away with top-notch DJs and even bottle service for a VIP touch.
If a full-on club crawl isn’t your style, Birmingham has plenty of more relaxed options too. The Arcadian is a seriously social entertainment hub that features comedy nights, live performances and lively bars where you can enjoy a few laughs before heading elsewhere. There’s also the city’s canalside bars and cosy cocktail lounges for quieter drinks with a view, giving hens a chance to catch up and soak up the evening without the chaos of a nightclub.
Restaurants
Feeling peckish? This city boasts an endless choice of restaurants, cafes and coffee shops that are perfect for groups of hungry hens! Why not start with a vibrant brunch spot that offers bottomless drinks and hearty dishes or sharing plates? If that’s not for you, you’ll find all your favourite fast-food chains for quick bites or head to one of the many pubs for classic grub, like burgers and fish and chips.
When it’s time for dinner, you’ll find everything from casual eateries to more refined restaurants, including those with Michelin Stars! When it comes to a hen do, affordable places are ideal, especially where you can book ahead and choose from set menus or sharers. Oh, and don’t forget about the city’s Chinese Quarter, which is packed with amazing spots for delicious oriental dining. Whether you’re looking for Italian, Asian-fusion, Indian, Greek, American or something else, you’re guaranteed to find it in Birmingham!
One bit of advice worth sharing is to check menus in advance to ensure that everyone has plenty of choice – especially if anyone in the group has dietary preferences or allergies. Also, booking early means you’ll have peace of mind, and solid plans in place for your meals. If you’re a large group of hens, it’s not worth winging it and praying you’ll find somewhere to accommodate you all. Get your meal plans sorted early, so you can relax and know you’ve got a tasty meal to look forward to!
