Hen weekends in Cheltenham

The home of steeplechase horse racing, natural springs and Regency period surroundings 

Famed for its discovery of mineral springs, Cheltenham Spa town is the place to go for an indulgent hen weekend soaking up the swanky Regency atmosphere and perhaps enjoying a flutter at the Cheltenham horse racing Festival.

Regarded as some of the finest examples of Regency architecture, the pretty Montpelier area offers numerous bars, restaurants and cafes houses in elegant buildings overlooking green gardens.  The very best of everything can be enjoyed during your hen weekend in Cheltenham as Michelin star dining; exotic spa rituals and gorgeous Cotswold countryside are all on your doorstep making it the ideal destination for organising the perfect hen weekend package.

Great Hen party ideas include heading to Cheltenham festival, a high point in the calendar, with racing weekend hen nights. These nights are incredibly popular during this time so a top hen party tip is to book early to avoid disappointment.

Head out of town and before long you’ll land at the rolling hills of the Cotswolds where fun hen weekend activities can be tried. City-based activities are also available if you’d rather keep your Cheltenham hen weekend based entirely in this beautiful historic city.
