Hen Parties in Edinburgh

If you want to get away for your hen party or birthday party then why not head over to Edinburgh’s bustling city centre for a city filled with history, culture and great nightlife?

The city’s nightlife is vibrant with many stylish bars to choose from all located within walking distance to one another so there’s plenty of options for you all. Perfect for Hen party weekends or birthday party weekends, Edinburgh’s city centre can guarantee the hen or birthday girl will have an exciting fun packed weekend.

Surrounded by history, Edinburgh offers hen parties and birthday parties a touch of class as they hit the town to celebrate with their friends and family in the city that is the capital city of Scotland and the seat of the Scottish Parliament. It’s also the second largest city in Scotland and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom.

Edinburgh is one of the historical major centres of the Enlightenment, led by the University of Edinburgh, helping to earn it the nickname Athens of the North. The Old Town and New Town districts of Edinburgh were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 in recognition of the unique character of the Medieval Old Town and the planned Georgian New Town. It covers both the Old and New Towns together with the Dean Village and the Calton Hill areas. There are over 4,500 listed buildings within the city. In May 2010, it had a total of 40 conservation areas covering 23% of the building stock and 23% of the population, the highest such ratios of any major city in the UK. In the 2010 mid-year population estimates, Edinburgh had a total resident population of 486,120.

The city hosts the annual Edinburgh Festival, a group of official and independent festivals held annually over about four weeks beginning in early August. The number of visitors attracted to Edinburgh for the Festival is roughly equal to the settled population of the city. The best-known of these events are the Edinburgh Fringe, the largest performing-arts festival in the world. Edinburgh attracts over 1 million overseas visitors a year, making it the second most visited tourist destination in the United Kingdom.

Edinburgh has a large number of pubs, clubs and restaurants that are perfect for you and the girls to take advantage of. In recent years George Street in the New Town has grown in prominence, with a large number of new, upmarket public houses and nightclubs opening, along with a number on the parallel Queen Street. Stockbridge and the waterfront at Leith are also increasingly fashionable areas, with a number of pubs, clubs and restaurants. On a side note on the nightlife, Edinburgh is the Top UK city for male single travelers, according to a recent Excite EU study. So many of your single family members and friends that are coming along with you may be very excited by this news!

Princes Street is the main shopping area in the city centre, with a wide range of stores from souvenir shops, from chains such as Boots and H&M and institutions like Jenners. George Street, north of Princes Street, is home to a number of upmarket chains and independent stores. The St. James Centre, at the eastern end of George Street and Princes Street, hosts a substantial number of national chains including a large John Lewis. Multrees Walk, adjacent to the St. James Centre, is a recent addition to the city centre, hosting brands such as Louis Vuitton, Emporio Armani, Mulberry and Calvin Klein, with Harvey Nichols anchoring the development.

You could also try something a bit different for your party and visit the new Scotch Whisky for a whisky tasting experience and also see how it is made! Take a swirling, bubbling barrel ride through a replica distillery as you become part of the whisky making process. Along the way you’ll hear the stories behind this magical craft, with expert tour guides and whisky advisors with you every sip of the way. Discover the aromas and flavours that appeal to your palate and lead you to your perfect Single Malt Whisky. Visit The Scotch Whisky Experience – a truly breath-taking experience for everyone.
