Hen Do Alternatives in Blackpool for Brides Who Dislike Clubbing

Not every bride dreams of 3am kebabs and shouting over cheesy pop in a sticky nightclub. And guess what? That’s absolutely fine! 

If your bride-to-be prefers a more relaxed, creative or low-key celebration, Blackpool is still the perfect place to throw a memorable hen do without stepping foot on a dancefloor.

At Hen & Stag Events, we specialise in building bespoke party packages that fit your passions and group of friends. Whether your ideal weekend involves prosecco and painting, scenic sea views or cheeky life drawing, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s how to plan the ultimate clubbing-free hen do in Blackpool, with help from our top-rated organisers. 

1. Candle Painting with Chill Vibes

If your bride loves getting creative, candle painting is the perfect way to ease into the weekend. It’s relaxing, fun, and everyone gets to take home their own personalised keepsake. 

We bring everything to your venue, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Throw in a grazing board and some fizz, and you’ve got a cosy and classy hen party starter.

2. Afternoon Tea Life Drawing

Afternoon tea life drawing is a wildly popular pick for hens who want something a little cheeky, but still classy.

Here’s how it works: you’re served a spread of cakes, sandwiches, and bottomless prosecco while a professional nude model poses for a guided sketch session. No clubbing, no drama: just laughter, sketch pads, and a healthy appreciation for the male form!

3. Chocolate Making

Taking place in a cosy venue, our chocolate making classes are a real delight. We provide the venue or we’re happy to come to you. All materials are provided, and you have the option for vegan ingredients if preferred. Starting from £50 per person, it’s a highly affordable option. 

4. Paint and Sips

Want to channel your creative side? This hen activity is relaxed and a little bit boozy. You enjoy 1.5 hours of painting, sipping wine, and grooving to music with the girls as you create your own canvas masterpiece.

Whether you’re an art lover or you simply adore wine, this session has something for everyone. Afterwards, you can treasure your painting as a unique memento of the celebration. 

5. Lip Sync Battle

OK, technically this involves singing, but it’s not clubbing. Booking a private karaoke booth means no drunk strangers, no packed bars, just you and the bride squad belting out girl group classics in your own space.

Add in cocktails, snacks and a themed playlist and you’ve got a hen night that’s hilarious and heartfelt.

6. Paint a Penis Party (Yes, It’s a Thing)

For brides who aren’t clubbers but still want some cheeky fun, the Paint a Penis party is iconic. You’ll be guided through a painting session with anatomical inspiration, giggles guaranteed.

It’s light-hearted, inclusive, and suitable for mixed-age groups too. Bring wine, bring snacks and let creativity run wild. We’ll handle the setup and clean-up.

7. Seaside Games & Photo Walk

There’s plenty to do after one of our organised events. After all, Blackpool is one of the most iconic seaside resorts for a reason! Whether you fancy something relaxing or buzzy, our team is happy to make recommendations. 

If you're staying central, take the hens on a custom photo walk. Pose under the iconic tower, ride the tram in vintage style, or grab ice cream on the pier. Add in a few classic hen do challenges (we provide printables!) and you’ve got an easy-going, memory-making afternoon.

This is a great way to explore Blackpool’s charm without any hassle.

Why Blackpool Is Perfect for a Low-Key Hen Weekend

Blackpool has more to offer than its party reputation suggests. Yes, the nightlife is famous, but so is the coastline and its many charming venues. It’s therefore easy to tailor every detail to your bride’s vibe. 

With Hen and Stag Events, you can easily enjoy an event with creative flair and a splash of naughty humour, all without the chaos of clubland.

Our team ensures you’re not stuck with one-size-fits-all packages. We work with the best venues in Blackpool to create hen dos that actually reflect who you are.
