Put down the penis crowns and step away from the strippers
We love a game of Mr & Mrs – or Mrs & Mrs – but even the most inspired of hens parties tend to follow the same tired routine. Shake up the agenda and do something unexpected. The bride-to-be will thank you.
Sydneysiders are spoilt for choice when it comes to escape rooms, and many of them will accept group bookings. Our pick is Paniq Room in the Rocks – they have a max capacity of 14 people across two rooms (equally challenging) and the venue is close to bars like the Doss House for a post-panic whisky.
Founded by a former NSW firefighter, Men on Fire is an events company designed for somewhat classic hen's parties, without the strippers. Their party offerings include Fireman life-drawing classes and cocktail classes, with the option of setting up with a dinner at Barangaroo’s Bottega Coco or having the fireman and his equipment (read: drawing pads and pencils) come to you.
The team of men have graced more than 20,000 parties with their presence since launching almost a decade ago, and have honed a niche that bridal parties didn’t know they needed.
If you’re looking for a food-centric affair, QT Sydney’s high tea is a gloriously quirky take on the traditional tea and scone set-up. The QT kitchen have partnered with master pâtissier Adriano Zumbo to create an experimental selection of sweet and savoury treats – served with QT’s signature theatrics. Settle into the low-lit lobby and choose a bottle of Champagne from the 60 strong list – it’s high tea, but not as you know it.
