Active Hen Party Ideas in Edinburgh

abatha

So with a week to go....I've been told I need to book some activity for my friend's hen party.
At the moment Go Karting is sold out, and everything else is a mini bus away which is no surprise.

Has anyone done anything in Edinburgh or have any ideas of whats about in the city?

I think we might have to resort to dancing lessons of some sort, trying to avoid pole dancing at all costs, I have no muscle in my arms or stomach haha

Define activity?! A1 paintball will pick you up from city centre and drop you back. A ghost walk? That would be good! I done the cocktail class at revelution for mine and it was fab, would really recommend.

I've sent you a p.m., didn't want to post what we're doing for my daughters hen night just in case she reads this :rotfl:.

There is a place just on the outskirts that does quad biking or here is a link for salsa dancing (although you would be cheaper finding the place yourself rather than going through them)

She was pretty loose with the term active, I was hoping for white water rafting...but that got an instant no haha.
Thanks for tips, much appreciated. We've left this all very last minute which isn't helping matters!

You won't get 'that' drunk but it will certainly set you up for a night out. Off the top of my head you get a welcome drink, a full cocktail each, a taste of everything thats made and 1-2 vodke shots each. The one at Revolution also comes with pizza and wedges afterwarsd which are generous portions.
After the cocktails we went to a few bars and then went to Electric Circus which is a private karaoke booth place just at the back of Waverely station and it was the best fun ever!!

I know of nowhere that does rafting unfortunately but what about climbing? http://www.eica-ratho.com/

I would second the ghost walk suggestion - they are great fun!

I went on a ghost walk on a friend's stag (mixed sex, great fun) and it was great. Apparently the tour down to Mary King's Close is amazing.

How about a boat trip on the Falkirk Wheel? Depends on your transport plans..

I'm thinking of this for my hen night: http://www.mercattours.com/home.asp ghost walk! Not for everyone though.

What about a murder mystery evening? They can be pricey though.
