    It depends what sort of thing you want...

    As a starting point, I've never been myself but have heard Copacabana in Manchester is meant to be fun for a hen night:
    http://www.visitcopacabana.co.uk/hen_package.html
    They do a package for £23.95 including a cocktail, salsa class, tapas meal & a disco.

    Not sure if you've ever been, but The Birdcage is always fun if you like a bit of cheese:
    http://www.birdcagelive.com/
    They only open at 9pm though and don't do any kind of 'package' so you'd have to do something else first.

    Revolution do cocktail making classes and you can also reserve an area there to have food and drinks:
    http://www.revolution-bars.co.uk/lovetoparty/book-your-cocktail-masterclass/

    Can't think of anything else at the moment but if you point me in the right direction of what you want I'll have a think.

    Hope that helps!

    Ooh, just thought of a totally different option - what about a comedy club? We went to the Frog & Bucket in Manchester for a (male) friend's 30th not a hen do, but I'm pretty sure there were hen & stag parties there as I remember people being in fancy dress! You can book a table, get food there if you want it and as well as the comedy at weekends your ticket (£15-£16) includes a disco:

    Vikki all of those options sound good, ideally a meal, entertainment/disco because there's a broad age range and thought if the older ones don't want to stay out then they can sod off after the meal :rotfl:

    What about the locks? You could eat in one of the pubs/bars near there first then go to the comedy club for entertainment - it's a bit more central than frog and bucket then you have quite a few bars/pubs/clubs near by for the younger ones.
    Or you could get a party bus, I think that includes a meal and then a tour of some of the pubs and bars with a drink - I had a friend that was doing them in Manchester centre

    I was considering Bouzuki By Nights because it's for eveyone but it now looks like a dump and the menu has changed.
