Hen Weekends in Cardiff

Castles, cocktails and clubbing

For a great balance of bouncy, exhuberant partying and undisputed cultural excellence; when you’re in need of a big friendly city stuffed to the gills with students, pop stars, sporting celebs and drag acts; if the choice of your hen weekend destination has to meet the demands of those friends who like a serious tipple and a not-so-serious boogy, whilst also satisfying those who appreciate polished restaurants, choice music and snazzy bars… Cardiff, the giddy Welsh HQ of entertainment, awaits your call.

Cardiff hen weekends are now recognised as a major magnet for any group who likes to cram castles, cocktails, clothes and clubbing into a weekend away, Cardiff’s dragon breathes the kind of confident fire only fuelled when a city receives so much unfaltering praise and attention. And yet it’s all thoroughly deserved. You may squeeze in a café pannini around the huge shopping choices in and around the arcades through the day, or alternatively pick out a beauty treatment, massage or organised event to tick that often-requested "something different" box, but it’s when the party people come out to play that Cardiff really earns its reputation.

Cardiff Information

A hen weekend in Cardiff gives you a city where students, backpackers, rock stars and actors congregate to let their hair down at the weekend. The reasons for Cardiff’s magnificent and total renaissance in the last few years are a mixture of national spotlight – through major sporting occasions, for example, as well as several local bands, actors and artists becoming household names – and gradual word of mouth snowballing to create an indelible label for giving all who beach themselves here one hell of a good time.

Part of the charm of this great city is the lack of pretention flowing through its people, parks and squares. Whether you’re sat embroiled in pre-wedding gossip in a bar on St Mary’s Street, grabbing a quick bite in a Castle Arcade café or dancing your loins off in Moloko – one of several excellent clubs here – rest assured that scowling snobbery is unlikely to be found in those nearest to you. Folk come to Cardiff’s nightspots to mingle as they get mangled; to be funky but friendly; to eat, drink and, without any luck, be excessively merry before the night is over. Come check out the quintessential magic dragon before its fire goes out.
