HEN & STAG CELEBRATIONS
With international travel still in limbo and last minute changes to group events the norm , 2022 will continue to see the trend for more intimate hen and stag parties either closer to home or in a staycation home-from-home . Find a secluded bolthole cottage perfect for private dining or pampering , or opt for a city-based pad for nights out with an easy journey home .
In terms of activities , those with an outdoor focus will continue to take the edge this year . The new Hangloose Adventure at Bluewater offers Skywire , England ’ s largest zip wire ; Mega Swing , Europe ’ s largest swing and Aerodium , Britain ’ s biggest outdoor skydiving machine – perfect for thrill seekers . Whereas Wine Tours of Kent ’ s sophisticated vineyard tours offer ‘ a variety of indoor and outdoor experiences so we can always edit plans to specific requirements ’ says founder Abi Ireland , who can also offer in-house tasting experiences or virtual tastings should the need arise , adding an extra sense of reassurance in constantly changing times .
