HEN/Stag NigHtS
Have some fun in the run-up to your celebrations...
Take to the woods
‘Forget L plates and embarrassing nightclub shenanigans, a
wooded wonderland weekend is where it’s at for hen dos!’
say Devon-based company
‘Babes in the Woods’
. ‘Think
champagne glamping with a touch of the wild!’ The
company offers a weekend experience in 300 acres of
beautiful woodland in South Devon. You’ll stay in stylishly
furnished bell tents on comfy camp beds (who said you had
to rough it?) although the more adventurous among you
can sleep out in the wild under a hand-crafted shelter, if
you must!
You’ll have the chance to learn bushcraft skills such as fire
and shelter building and have all the camaraderie of
sitting round a roaring fire. But here comes the best bit –
you can combine all that outdoor stuff with lounging
under a tree-top canopy and enjoying pampering
treatments including saunas and massages. That sounds
like our kind of survival exercise! Early birds wanting to
make the most of every minute can join in yoga or
meditation sessions before breakfast.
Choose from various packages for your party, that can
include evening entertainment, plenty of food and wine – in
fact everything you’ll need, from champagne to a cream tea.
Why settle for a drunken night no one can remember, when
you can have a magical weekend no one will forget?
