The Best 12 Newcastle Hen Party Ideas
So, you’ve picked Newcastle for your hen party—great choice!
This lively city in the north-east is famous for its buzzing nightlife and the whole “Geordie Shore” vibe. Every year, we send loads of hens here for a weekend full of fun and excitement. And while the nightlife is top-notch, Newcastle also has plenty of fantastic hen party ideas to make your weekend even more special!
1. Tour the Tyne on a Party Boat Cruise
Just as it says on the tin, this wild experience is for those who want to go above and beyond the usual clubbing experience.
Taking off from the Quayside, this fantastic party boat runs twice a week from 7:30pm to 11pm on Saturdays and 7pm-10:30pm on Sundays, giving you more than enough time to drink, dance and party!
2. Go for a Boozy Bottomless Brunch!
This one doesn’t really need an explanation, but it should go without saying that having a boozy bottomless brunch in Newcastle with the girls is a fantastic idea.
Not only is it a great way to kick-start a day of celebrating, but it’s also ideal for curing that gruelling hangover from the night before with plenty of good food and plenty of prosecco to go with it!
When it comes to the location, you girls are spoilt for choice as there are tonnes of restaurants and bars that host this kind of experience, including Turtle Bay, Revolucion de Cuba and Slug & Lettuce, to name but a few.
3. Dance Classes
If you’re looking to do something a bit different, why not go for a hen party dance class in Newcastle? With loads of themes to choose from, these classes are suitable for everyone, regardless of experience or skill level.
Taking place at a city centre venue such as a private function room or dance studio, these workshops are led by friendly and experienced instructors who will walk you through all the moves and steps you’ll need to know to bring together to form a full routine.
Throughout the class, you’ll get to practice the moves and steps as you learn before you all come together to perform the final routine at the end of the class from start to finish!
4. Have a Flutter at the Casino
If you’re looking for a different kind of night out, then perhaps it might be a good idea to think about. After all, what could be better than indulging in all the glitz and glamour of the casino whilst trying your luck at a few games like roulette or blackjack!
With three brilliant places to try out, including Genting, Aspers and Grosvenor, these places are only closed for a few hours per day (However, Grosvenor is open 24/7) and also make for a great place to enjoy a few drinks or a bite to eat.
So, if you're struggling to find some Newcastle hen party ideas that everyone can get stuck into, this is a fool-proof option.
5. Dreamboys Show
Infamous across the country and a staple for any wild Geordie wannabe, opting for a Dreamboys in Newcastle is something that all the girls will appreciate!
When you arrive, you’ll be shown to your seats before picking up your welcome drink before the show starts. With a hilarious drag queen performance to kick things off, you and the girls will get to feast your eyes on the hunks on stage before having the opportunity to take some photos with the lads themselves!
In a nutshell, this 2-3 hour experience isn’t one that you’ll forget any time soon, that’s for sure.
6. Embark on a Silent Disco Adventure
If you’re looking for some high-energy fun, then why not get your headphones on and put some pep in that step with a Silent Disco Tour of the city centre?!
You may have seen some of these groups in your own town or city centre, and to be fair, they’re not hard to miss! The only thing you need for this experience is lots of energy, but of course, you could also bring some props along with you like inflatable microphones and guitars! - Check it out
