Galway - Hen Party Yes or No

20 Dec 2019

Galway is one of Ireland’s most popular Hen and Stag party destinations and it’s very easy to see why. The west of Ireland is home to some beautiful locations and Galway is one of those locations. Home to Connemara and Salthill as well as the city itself, Galway offers a lot of beautiful views, adventure and atmosphere. With all of this as well as a large amount of activities it has to offer, this makes Galway an amazing spot for any Hen Party so let us tell you why it would be the perfect location for yours.

  • The Location

Alongside the city, Galway has Salthill and Connemara on offer so you’re getting three options in one. If adventure is your thing then a journey through Connemara where you can take in some of the amazing scenery that Ireland has to offer would be a fantastic choice. If you want a traditional Irish town situated on the seaside then Salthill is your spot. Or maybe you want the feeling of a traditional town mixed with the feeling of a big city, then Galway City is the place for you.

  • The Culture

Galway City is the perfect blend of both traditional Ireland and modern Ireland and it works really well together. Being a hen and stag party hot spot with everyone looking to have some fun, it’s always busy and full of the craic so chances are that you’ll bump into another hen party (or maybe even some stags) and add some extra fun to the party. And with bars offering both traditional music as well as modern chart music, you’ll find whatever you’re looking for in Galway.

  • The Activities

If somewhere is a hen party hotspot then it’s got to have a lot of activities for you and your gals to enjoy, right? Galway more than covers this area with a large range of activities such as:

  • Dance classes
  • Karaoke nights
  • Paint a Nude
  • Zorbing
  • Karting
  • Jewellery-making classes
  • Spa sessions
  • And many more…

And for those hens who fancy a short trip across the sea to the Aran Islands, ferries are on hand to bring you there and back. Why not take in even more of what Ireland has to offer all as part of your hen party in Galway!

While Galway may be a great location for your Hen Party, if you’re travelling from somewhere like Cork or Dublin then you’ll be in for a long journey but we feel it’s more than worth the trip because of the amount that Galway offers.

With all these activities and different locations plus all the atmosphere and life that comes along with the package that Galway offers, we think it’s a fantastic destination and it’s sure to be a place that you’ll never forget. Why not book a package with us now to see for yourself?
