Red’s Adrenaline-Fuelled Outdoor Hen Party Ideas

If you’re planning a hen party for an outdoor-loving, adrenaline-craving bride, you might feel added pressure to do something a little different. You’ll already know that classic hen party ideas like a spa day or afternoon tea won’t cut it on their own - it’s a real adventure that will send the bride off to married life in style.

Fortunately, active, adrenaline-fuelled hen parties are seriously on trend, and if you’re planning the ultimate bash for your bride-to-be, you’ve come to the right place. At Red, we certainly know a thing or two when it comes to ways to have fun outdoors and have thought long and hard to come up with our suggestions for the ultimate adrenaline-fuelled outdoor hen party ideas. Whether you’re planning an entire weekend of action or want to supplement a more traditional bash with an unforgettable experience, consider these action-packed hen party outdoor activities.

Multi-Person Paddleboarding

If you’re planning for a large hen party and want to include an outdoor activity that will really test the group’s sense of adventure, add multi-person paddleboarding to the hen itinerary. There’s so much you can do with a Red 17’0” Ride Multi-Person Inflatable Paddle Board, from paddling to the pub to playing a range of games or going on a guided tour! Because you, the bride, and your fellow hens will all be maneuvring one board together, this kind of paddleboarding is a great way to bond as a group without any real prior paddling experience. Plus, it’s a guaranteed opportunity to share some laughs when one (or all!) of you inevitably falls in.

SUP Yoga

Keen on outdoor hen party ideas that aren’t quite as hectic as multi-person paddleboarding? Look no further than SUP yoga. This outdoor hen party idea is exactly what you might imagine it to be: a serene yoga experience which takes place on the water on a paddleboard. It offers the perfect balance of action and calm which is especially handy if you’re looking for a slightly more relaxed adventure to enjoy after an evening of partying. Any headaches will be gone quickly when you tune into the soothing sound of the water - or lose your balance and make a splash.

High Ropes

Providing the bride isn’t terrified of heights, you could also test the nerve of the party with a high ropes course. These are pretty easy to find all across the UK and therefore a great option no matter where you are staying or based. The premise is pretty simple and certainly group-friendly, as you’ll be tackling a range of obstacles, swings and zip lines from the treetops. Great views and a bit of mud are guaranteed - the perfect way for the group to bond and the bride to swing into their marriage.

Archery

One of the biggest challenges of planning an outdoor hen party can be varying physical fitness levels or abilities across the group. However, with an activity like archery, you can be pretty certain that everybody will be happy to take part. It can be as competitive or as challenging as you want to make it but still has that skill and outdoorsy element that you know the bride will love. You could even create some homemade awards or medals to hand out for the best shots, giving everyone a memento to remember the party by!

Go Karting

But if it’s real adrenaline you are trying to create, make sure that go karting is on your list of outdoor hen party ideas. Nothing really beats the rush of racing around a track and an outgoing group will love the explicitly competitive element of driving a go kart. The helmets and overalls will guarantee some funny and unique hen party photo opportunities and you’re sure to enjoy plenty of laughs as everyone attempts to pip the bride to the finish line. 

Aqua Park

For a wet and wild outdoor hen party idea, why not seek out the nearest aqua park and let the bride squad unleash their inner child for a bit? Aqua parks are basically a giant inflatable obstacle course on the water, complete with slides, trampolines and all sorts of obstacles. Your hens will slip, slide and splash their way through the course, most certainly causing chaos as you attempt to stay afloat. This hen party outdoor activity is the perfect way to start or finish a day in the great outdoors, before you all shower and get ready for a classic evening of partying.
