Hen weekend Liverpool

Options
Anyone got any recommendations of things to do?

Probably around 15 women. Age about 35 - 40 (although think we are at least ten years younger).

Staying near Liverpool One. Could do with booking a restaurant. A nice but cheap & cheerful Italian would be good - along with any other recommendations.

Also where to go drinking - ideally bars which have a late licence & music (too old to queue to get in a club!)

All ideas welcome.....

    I was a student in Liverpool for 4 years...

    places to go:
    traditional hen territory is concert square, but gets seriIously rough on a sat night. Hannah's on Hardman st is good, as is the Peacock bar on one of the sts off concert square (both a bit classier). then there's Heebie Jeebies and Bumper that are open til late. Ca Va tequila bar is worth a stop. That's a start anyway.

    Restaurant wise, you'll be best with one of the Liverpool one places - loads of options/range of prices.

  • Hi there is a website that does lots of well priced packages in Liverpool
    UKgirlthing.co.uk they do a hotel with a spa-rty, where you get a meal,hotel accomodation and a pamper party where everyone gets a treatment, there is fluffy bathrobes,slippers, foot spas and a chocolate fountain. Really good for a second quieter night maybe?
    How about hiring the vip box at the Liverpool Eye, where you'll get champagne and, a fab view of the city!
    Matthew Street is always a good bet for a night out, plenty of fun places (Revolution etc), not full of 16 year olds!
    Also when are you thinking of going? What about a day at Aintree racecourse? Doesnt have to be Grand National for you to get some glad rags on,sip champers and have a flutter on the horses!
    Thats off the top of my head!!
    Ideas,help and advice always welcome, judgements and assumptions are not!!

    It's only a few weeks away - just no-one seems to have taken control & got stuff organised!

    Hotel booked. Just need a plan for Friday/ Saturday night & also Saturday day.

    Thanks for the feedback so far.

    I second Mattew Street, it's fab for a bar crawl and not far from Liverpool One if you eat there where there are a few good restaurants. I've heard good things about Red Hot Buffet http://www.redhot-worldbuffet.com/redhot_liverpool.html

    If any of you like 80s music, try the Reflex bar too.

    For something to do in the day, what about a trip on the Ferry boat? Or a stroll and lunch at the Albert dock?

    You definitely won't be bored, there is SO much to do in Liverpool, I hope you have a fab time! x

    Pity the hotel is booked just when i was going to suggest something to do, not that i think i could manage all 15 of you.
    I'll not change the sheets then.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Something to do - there's this tour in a bus that goes round the city and then *into*! one of the docks. It's called the yellow duckmarine.

    Thanks - looked at this last night. Think we might book a private one.
