Top 15 Things to Do on a

From the iconic Cathedral Quarter to thrilling horror-themed escape rooms, our hen do experts have rounded up to the top 15 best things to do on a Belfast on your hen.

Belfast Pedi Tour

One of the most popular hen do activities in Belfast is hands down the Belfast Pedi Tour. It’s basically a massive bike your group can pedal around Belfast’s city centre whilst drinking your own drinks that you have brought onboard. Don’t worry, there will be a sober driver to steer. Even better, you can plug in your own music and blast it out as you go. This activity will have eyes all on you so expect a couple of waves off strangers and people hooting their car horns at you (in a fun way!).

Cathedral Quarter

You can’t visit Belfast without heading to the Cathedral Quarter. This historic area has more bars than a particularly secure prison. This includes nightlife hotspots The Dirty Onion and Yardbird (which has a great courtyard area), the sleek Northern Whig and the traditional Irish pub The John Hewitt. This is also where you will find the incredibly instagrammable street with the colourful umbrellas and the neon lights.

Escape Room

Belfast has some seriously cool Escape Rooms. The ones that we would recommend (that we have tried out for ourselves) have a fab range of themes. These include Zombie Outbreak, Dream House (based on Annabelle) and Time to Float (based on IT… find the kids before the clown finds you ! ). What sets these guys apart is that all of their games have multiple rooms to navigate through and most rooms have live actors. If your group are horror fans, we couldn’t recommend this enough.

Karaoke

If you like to sing in the shower, take it to the next level with Shower Karaoke at the River Rooms. This really fun karaoke will see you getting into the ‘shower’ to belt out some bangers (note this is in front of the bar but with people drunkenly singing along its not as nerve wracking as it sounds). This is one our staff have tested out and believe us there are loads of songs. One of us sang the Peaches song from the Super Mario movie to give you an idea of the kind of obscure things you can sing, as well as all your beloved karaoke classics. River Rooms itself is a lush bar with fun, glitzy décor and impressive cocktails.

Guided Belfast Pub Crawl

There are so many pubs in Belfast, it can be hard to know where to start! That’s why getting on a Guided Belfast Pub Crawl is an ideal way to get the most out of your night. A friendly and knowledgeable local guide will take you to some of the best bars in Belfast (including a couple of hidden gems). These will range from quaint Irish pubs with live music to big bouncing boozers packed with party goers. And as it’s a public bar crawl, there’s a high chance you will make new pals for the night too.

Revolución de Cuba

Revolución de Cuba is a Cuban themed bar known for tropical cocktails, live music and holiday vibes. The one in Belfast is particularly impressive because it is housed in a breathtaking Art Nouveau building that has a high ceiling and ornate pillars. Here you can enjoy a selection of tasty tapas and cocktails in teapots. There are three different bars within the building including a rum bar. It’s the perfect place if you wanna be ‘Havanna’ good time!

Paint and Sip

Unleash your creative side with a relaxed session that will see you having a go at painting your own piece of artwork. This is beginner-friendly so don’t worry if you’re not Da Vinci, in fact that can really add to the fun if you’re just having a go. You will also get welcome cocktail towers and lite bites included so you’re fed and watered whilst you’re in the zone. A bonus of this, is you end up with a special memento of your Belfast hen to take away with you.

Ollie’s

Ollie’s isn’t just a club, it’s a Belfast institution. This glitzy club is a magnet for party goers with its world class DJs, sleek décor, plush booths and impressive lights. It’s popular with a younger crowd and students who pack the place out on a weekend. You can expect the music to be a mix of disco, house, hip hop and RnB. If you’re looking for somewhere opulent and popular, get Ollie’s on the itinerary.

Belfast has a fabulous range of dance classes for hens to get stuck into. These include the (where you can learn Queen B’s signature moves), (where you can learn dance moves to some of the bangers from Grease) and a Pole Dancing Class (an empowering dance class that will see you getting to grips with the pole).

Drag Bingo Cruise

Hop onboard the Drag Bingo Cruise for a truly fab-u-lous jaunt. A funny drag queen host will lead a game of ‘boogie bingo’ which is like bingo but with short bursts of cheesy bangers e.g. “number 17…dancing queen!”. You can win prizes for a line and for a house. There are sharing cocktail towers onboard so you can enjoy stunning views of the Lagan with a drink in hand. Eyes down!

Titanic Belfast

The Titanic Belfast is an incredible museum, and whilst it’s not the first thing you may think of when it comes to Belfast hen party activities, hens do tend to visit here. This self-guided tour boasts over ten interactive galleries that really bring the history of it to life. You will learn about how it was built, the maiden voyage, the sinking and more. There are photo opportunities where you can re-create the classic ‘Jack and Rose pose’.

St George's Market

St George's Market is a bustling market set within a charming Victorian building with around 248 market stalls. This place sells all sorts from artwork by local artists to freshly baked bread. It’s a great place to have a wander around. You could grab some lunch here or buy some souvenirs.

Prison Island

Prison Island is a unique attraction that’s like an escape room meets The Crystal Maze (but jail themed). In teams of between 2 and 4, you will work together to do challenges that are found within prison cells. Some challenges are more physical, and some are mental. Unlike an escape room it’s very flexible because you can play the games in any order you want. What a great way to ‘cell-ebrate your hen?

Nude Life Drawing

Now this is what we call ‘fine’ art. Nude Life Drawing is a cheeky hen do activity that will see you drawing a lovely chappy in his birthday suit. This hilarious life drawing sesh is sure to have you in fits of laughter as you put pencil to paper. Just remember to capture all the little details and the erm….. bigger ones 👀.

Afternoon Tea

Having an afternoon tea planned is a lovely way to enjoy some more relaxed time between the madness. Our top recommendations include which will see you enjoying your classic afternoon tea but with the twist that the teapot is filled with prosecco. We also highly rate because it offers a contemporary slant on it with food that may include things like B & G burger slider, buffalo chicken thighs, fresh crab taco, mini banoffee pie mousse, scones and more.
