Without
question, Dublin is one of the most popular destinations for hen parties and
it’s not difficult to see why. From the famously warm welcome of its people to
its fantastic nightlife, you’re almost guaranteed to have a great time as you
experience the 'craic' first hand. If you’re thinking of having your own party
there, our 6 top tips should help things go even more swimmingly!
1) Consider taking the ferry instead of
the plane
When making their travel preparations, a lot of people won’t even consider
anything other than flights. However, don’t rule the good old-fashioned ferry
immediately. It’s not even that old fashioned any more, as the fast ferry can
get you over the Irish Sea in a little over three hours. As well as being
cheaper, it’s arguably a more pleasant experience, as you can move freely
around the boat, and facilities such as cinemas and bars are available, so you
can get the party going before you’ve even reached Ireland! It’s unlikely that
you’ll be sad to miss all the airport security checks and there’s no limit on
how much luggage you can take. Finally, if you have a designated driver, it
saves the hassle and expense of renting a car.
2) Ladies Day at the races can be great
fun
In all likelihood, neither yourself nor anyone else in your party is an ardent
horseracing fan. Even so, Ladies Day at the races is fantastic fun, even if you
don’t fancy a flutter. The emphasis is on looking great and having fun, plus
there is usually a prize on offer for the best dressed lady!
3) Rent a party bus
You want your hen party to be memorable, so why not do
something unique that you’ll really remember, such as renting a party bus? A tour of the city is usually included as part of the
rental package, and after that, your driver will be happy to chauffeur you to
the nightspots of your choice. Alternatively, you can have your own private
party on the bus itself!
4) Plan your night out in advance
So, you’re all dressed up and looking great, but where are you going to go for
a drink and dance? Save yourself the hassle and disappointment of ending up in
an unsuitable or just plain rubbish venue by doing a bit of research in
advance. Dublin has a great night life scene, so with a bit of preparation, you’ll
be able to find something that’s perfect for your party.
5) Consider adding a bit of adrenaline
It might not be for everyone, but having a go at an exciting sport or activity
can really spice up your hen party. There’s no shortage of options in and
around Dublin, with everything from go karting to whitewater rafting available.
A lot of the activities can be tailored to your party’s skill level and
adrenaline threshold, so be sure to discuss your requirements with the
organiser in advance.
6) Experience a bit of Gaelic culture
You’re in Ireland, after all, so it’s a great idea (and great fun!) to take in
a bit of the unique Gaelic culture whilst you’re there. If you’re a sporty lot,
there are companies offering introductory sessions in Gaelic games such as
hurling and Gaelic football. If that’s not to your taste, then why not take an
Irish dancing lesson? You’ll take some Riverdance skills home with you as well
as some great memories!
