Carlow is fast becoming the henparty location of choice and yet is big and varied enough to take all the henparties that are going there.
      

      

Carlow is in a great location for the east of the country. If you have a mix of people coming from Kilkenny, Dublin or Waterford it's a good meeting point for all these areas.

Like Waterford our research also shows that people also like Carlow because it is anonymous and chances of bumping into someone you know is slim. Perfect for a henparty.

In terms of activities there are plenty of offer in Carlow. Set against the backdrop of the Blackstairs Mountains, if walking is your gig you will be in walking heaven. If you have loads of energy, why not hike up Leinster's highest mountain - Mount Leinster and be rewarded with outstanding views for miles. Visit Bunclody at the foot of Mount Leinster with it's pretty main street with the river running right through it. 

Quad biking, clay pigeon shooting, watersports, horseriding are all available in Carlow as well as pole dancing lessons, burlesque and much more.
      
The River Barrow is a spot to take a boat trip for your henparty.
      
Carlow is extremely hen friendly. They love henparties! So there are plenty of hen friendly hotels and self catering houses to chose from. Whatever your budget there is an option for you in Carlow.

Likewise there are plenty of hen friendly restaurants to chose from around town and with all budgets catered for.
      
The party reputation of the town outdoes itself with plenty of choice in terms of nightlife. This is helped by the student population that attend the IT. There are many nightclubs, pubs and bars to dance in and the craic is always mighty no matter what time of the year.

Some nightclubs and hotels run offers especially for henparties so it is worth checking this out before you go.
      
We also like Carlow because it's big enough to find lots of places to have fun, but not too big that you get lost.
