Devon offers everything you need for a memorable hen weekend, beautiful countryside, stunning coastline and a wide selection of large houses and cottages for group hire. Our mixologists travel across Devon to bring the cocktail masterclass to you, whether you're based in Dartmouth, Salcombe or Exeter.
Devon is England's third-largest county and one of its most beautiful, the dramatic Dartmoor moorland in the centre, the Red Cliffs of the Jurassic Coast to the east and the surf beaches of the Atlantic coast to the north. Salcombe is the jewel of the South Hams, a brilliantly exclusive harbour town with superb restaurants and gorgeous estuary views. Dartmouth is the most characterful of Devon's harbour towns. Croyde on the North Devon coast is the county's answer to Newquay. Devon cream tea, jam first, then clotted cream, is a non-negotiable hen party activity.
What to do in Devon for a hen weekend
Salcombe & South Hams Beaches
Salcombe's estuary and the surrounding South Hams beaches | Slapton, Bantham, East Portlemouth, are among the most beautiful in England. Brilliant for a hen morning on the water.
Dartmouth & River Dart
One of England's most beautiful coastal towns | Bayard's Cove, the castle, the river ferry and some superb restaurants make Dartmouth a brilliant group destination.
Dartmoor National Park
Wild moorland, ancient stone circles and dramatic tors just an hour from the coast. A Dartmoor walk or horse trek makes a brilliant active contrast to the beach and evening class.
Devon Cream Tea Trail
Devon's cream tea tradition, scone, clotted cream (first!), strawberry jam, is one of England's great food rituals. Find it at farm shops, village tearooms and coastal cafés across the county.

Cocktail class Devon, questions answered
Devon and Cornwall are neighbouring counties with different characters. Devon tends to be slightly more relaxed and family-oriented, with a mix of dramatic Dartmoor moorland, the famous South Hams coast and the surf beaches of North Devon. Cornwall is wilder, more Celtic and perhaps more fashionable. Both offer outstanding coastal scenery and large group accommodation.
Salcombe is one of the more expensive destinations in Devon, often called 'the Chelsea of the South West'. However, for a special, high-quality hen party with outstanding scenery, brilliant restaurants and a glamorous harbour atmosphere, it's genuinely exceptional. Budget for higher accommodation and dining costs than elsewhere in Devon.
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 Devon hen night before you head out.
Your professional mixologist, all premium spirits, fresh fruit, mixers, ice, glassware, shakers and jiggers are all included. Three cocktails per person are included in the price. There are no hidden extras, everything you need for an unforgettable evening is covered from £35pp.
The minimum group size is 10 guests. There's no maximum, just let us know your numbers when you get a quote. We regularly run classes for groups of 20, 30 and beyond.
Yes, we come directly to your Airbnb, holiday cottage or rented house anywhere in Devon and the surrounding area including Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Barnstaple. There's no need to travel, we set up and bring everything.
Absolutely. You can add a Butlers in the Buff butler to your cocktail class in Devon from £150. He'll serve drinks, help run the games and add a brilliant bit of theatre to the evening. Just request this when getting your quote.
We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date, especially for weekends in the summer and around bank holidays. That said, we do take last-minute bookings where availability allows, check our availability when you get a quote.
