Hen party trends for 2025

If you’re planning a hen party in 2025, you’re in for a treat. The trends for next year are shaping up to be fresh, fun and full of personality, offering something for every type of bride and her tribe. Hen party experts Fizzbox give us a sneak peek of their predictions on what’s hot for hens in 2025. 

Drag Parties
Drag shows have been a hen party staple for a while but, in 2025, they’re stepping firmly into the spotlight. With drag culture thriving thanks to shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race and its ever-expanding global franchises, hens are falling in love with the glitz, glamour and unapologetic fun that comes with a drag-themed celebration. Expect everything from live performances at local drag bars to private workshops where the group can learn how to strut in heels, master a smoky eye or perform their own lip-sync battle. The bottomless brunch industry will continue to boom with drag brunches taking centre stage. This is a standout trend for 2025.

Cocktail Making
Cocktail making will keep holding its crown as the most popular hen party activity in 2025, and it’s easy to see why. Combining hands-on fun, tasty drinks and lots of laughs, it’s the ultimate way to get the party started. Whether you’re shaking up classics like mojitos or experimenting with quirky new recipes, everyone leaves with new skills and a few cheeky memories. Many workshops offer games, challenges and trendy twists including alcohol-free cocktails for sober hens and Instagram-worthy creations featuring edible flowers and glitter.

Boat Parties
Boat parties are set to make waves in 2025 as a top choice for hens looking to combine stunning views with a party atmosphere. Whether it’s cruising along a river, sailing the open seas or enjoying a relaxed canal trip, hens will be flocking to water-based adventures for something a little different. Party boats with onboard DJs, drinks and dancing will be a hit for those craving a high-energy celebration. Destinations like London, Bournemouth and Cambridge are ideal for hen boat parties, while international options like Marbella, Benidorm or the canals of Amsterdam offer unforgettable backdrops. Being on the water adds a touch of novelty and glamour that’ll keep this trend afloat well into 2025.

Crafty Celebrations
After the rise of homemade gifts and hands-on activities in 2024, craft-focused hen parties are set to soar. Whether it’s pottery painting, jewellery making or candle crafting, hens will be loving the chance to make keepsakes. These workshops give the bride and her hens something tangible to treasure long after the party’s over. Sustainable crafts are also trending where you can create eco-friendly items. It’s all about combining creativity with feel-good vibes.

Cheeky Crafts
If you want to combine hen party cheekiness with arts and crafts, you’re in luck. Fizzbox tells us that sales of activities such as Felt a Fanny and Dickorate have increased by 200% this year. Felt a Fanny sees you use a special barbed wired needle and colourful felt to make your own lady garden, led by a friendly felt maker. You can even turn your creation into a brooch or keyring! Dickorate is available in all major UK cities and gets you to paint your own ceramic penis. Everything is provided so you can relax and have a giggle with the hens as you paint your peckers!

Prosecco Bikes
Prosecco bikes will continue their pedal to popularity in 2025, becoming a firm hen favourite. Combining bubbly on tap with a unique way to explore the city, they’re a hit for groups wanting something fun, social and a little bit different. These pedal-powered bars are perfect for hens looking to sip prosecco while taking in the sights. Part of the appeal is the novelty factor. How often do you get to enjoy a drink while pedalling around with your best mates? It’s also a great icebreaker with music, laughter and plenty of photo opportunities along the way. Cities like London, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Brighton and Edinburgh are already seeing a surge in bookings with Fizzbox and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Wellness Weekends
The wellness trend will continue into 2025. With more hens seeking feel-good activities, options like yoga classes, spa days and mocktail-making workshops are becoming go-to choices for brides-to-be who want laid-back vibes and healthy choices. Yoga classes are a fantastic way to kick off the day, combining mindfulness with movement. Whether it’s a serene session in a countryside retreat or a playful group flow, it’s an activity that leaves everyone feeling refreshed. Spa days are another favourite, giving hens the chance to relax, and indulge in some pampering. Mocktail-making classes add a fun and creative twist to the wellness trend. Perfect for sober hens or those wanting a health-conscious option, they let everyone shake and sip delicious alcohol-free drinks in style. 

Movie Magic
Pop culture is always a key influencer, and 2025 will be no exception. With a fresh wave of fantasy and nostalgic TV shows in the spotlight, expect hen parties to embrace these worlds wholeheartedly. Harry Potter-inspired hen dos will continue to charm fans with potion making classes and wand-making workshops. Bridgerton-style soirees will still be on the rise. Think Regency dresses, garden games and afternoon teas with a twist. Meanwhile, upcoming films like Disney’s live action Snow White and TV shows like Emily in Paris will spark plenty of ideas. Fizzbox has also recently seen a big surge in ABBA themed hen parties with groups booking activities such as ABBA themed brunches, dance classes and karaoke night. 

Adventure Awaits
Hens are becoming more adventurous. While spa weekends and city escapes will remain popular, 2025 will see a rise in outdoor experiences. Think glamping in luxury yurts, paddleboarding on scenic lakes or forest treks combined with cosy log cabin stays. Activities like axe throwing, escape room, quad biking and survival skills sessions are growing in appeal for their mix of novelty and group bonding. For those staying closer to home, bubble mayhen (zorb games with a cheeky twist) and inflatable obstacle courses will continue to deliver giggles and competitive fun.
