Cambridge is a beautiful choice for a hen party, the city is compact, walkable and full of stunning architecture that makes for a genuinely memorable weekend backdrop. Mill Road and central Cambridge are the most popular areas for group accommodation. Our mixologists cover Cambridge and the surrounding area.
Cambridge is one of the world's great university cities, and for a hen party, the combination of breathtaking college architecture, the River Cam, punting along the Backs and a brilliant independent food and bar scene on Mill Road makes it a genuinely exceptional destination. King's College Chapel, the Mathematical Bridge and the Wren Library at Trinity are architectural highlights unmatched anywhere in England. The city is compact enough to cover on foot, and everything is within easy walking distance.
What to do in Cambridge for a hen weekend

Punting along the Backs, the stretch of the Cam behind the historic colleges, is the quintessential Cambridge experience. Book a chauffeur punt for the full hen party treatment.
King's College Chapel
One of England's greatest buildings, the fan-vaulted ceiling of King's College Chapel has to be seen in person. Free to visit the exterior; paid entry for the interior.
Mill Road & Independent Scene
Cambridge's most characterful street, an eclectic mix of independent delis, restaurants from around the world, vintage shops and brilliant coffee. A world away from the tourist centre.

Cocktail class Cambridge, questions answered
Punting is a traditional flat-bottomed boat activity on the River Cam, you push off the riverbed with a long pole to navigate through Cambridge's stunning college architecture. You can hire chauffeur-punted boats (recommended for hen parties who want to relax with drinks) or self-hire punts. It's one of the most memorable Cambridge experiences and absolutely brilliant for a group.
Both Oxford and Cambridge are extraordinarily beautiful, but they have different characters. Cambridge is slightly more compact and flat (great for walking), has the famous Backs for punting and tends to have a quieter, more intimate atmosphere. Oxford has a more vibrant independent bar scene. Both are excellent, the choice often comes down to which is more convenient for your group.
The class runs for 2 hours. Your mixologist arrives 15 minutes early to set up. Each guest makes three cocktails, a Sex on the Beach, a Mojito and a Cosmopolitan, with games and competitions woven throughout. It's the perfect way to start a Cambridge hen night before you head out.
