Your East Anglian Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 39)

 HENS AND STAGS Fun for all from around the region L ooking for something different to see off your single days in style? We showcase just some of what’s on offer in the region, from a relaxing spa day, to punting in Cambridge and fun-filled sports and games on land and sea. Raise a glass, or two, with a cocktail masterclass from Norfolk-based Best@Bars. Not just a mobile bar hire service, the family-run business offers an exclusive experience, bringing the party to you and your best girls, or boys. You can customise your class, choose from a wide range of cocktails and for the non-drinkers in the group, there’s a selection of tasty mocktails too. After a champagne cocktail on arrival and a demonstration from the company’s expert mixologists, you’ll be split into groups to make (and drink) your own concoctions. What’s more you can pitch your new-found skills against each other in a team mix-off with a stainless steel Manhattan cocktail shaker prize for every member of the winning group. Who knew going to class could be such fun? Visit bestatbars.com CHIN, CHIN Let off steam with an activity- filled hen do at Ufford Park Woodbridge. Take a fitness class, walk the trim trail, go for a swim or play a round of golf on the 18-hole course. You can practise your swing on the two-tier driving range beforehand or for some light-hearted fun, try the Congo Rapids Adventure Golf. If it’s R&R you’re after, there’s plenty of opportunity for that too. Book a spa day with a difference and enjoy a mud treatment in the Chamber of Secrets, or a Raindrop Massage. Dine in The Park Restaurant and sample the gin of the month, or why not bring your own games and hire a private room for your celebration.
