READING HEN DAY

So what can a bunch of girls expect to get up to on a hen weekend Reading……? The answer is quite simply lots, there's never a dull moment.

Reading Shopping

Shopping has got to feature on the to-do list. Reading is one of the UK’s top ten retail destinations and a shopper’s paradise.

It has two impressive shopping centres to its name “The Oracle” and “Broad Street Mall”. The Oracle is home to fashion houses such as Hobbs, Coast and Karen Millen while Broad Street Mall has more traditional high street stores. Centrally located there is a John Lewis store known locally as “Heelas”.

The two rivers flowing through Reading has allowed for an explosion of riverside restaurants and café bars – extremely important on your hen party Reading, a chance to chill out and watch the world go by. But hey, don’t sit about for too long there’s still loads to do – let us explain.

Reading Culture

If you are a culture vulture then check out Reading Town Hall for all you need to know about the history of Reading from Anglo Saxon times to the present day. The Museum has a Victorian copy of the Bayeux Tapestry and a refurbished Victorian Art Gallery.

For an action day out why not have a girls day at the races. Prestigious courses Royal Ascot and Newbury are not far away so why not have a flutter. You never know you might bump into the Royal family on your hen weekend in Reading so don’t forget your hats!!!. If you time your weekend perfectly you could be sipping champagne on the banks of the Thames and watching the Henley Regatta go by.

If it’s chill out time you girls need on your hen weekend Reading then look no further than Forbury Gardens. Reading Borough Council was awarded £2.13 million by the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore the historical features of the Gardens which include the impressive Maiwand Lion, the ornamental fountain and specialist conservation of the Abbey Ruins.

If film stars are your thing then why not visit the set of the 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Stunning Basildon Park is an eighteenth century mansion, owned by the National Trust, which sits in 400 acres of wonderful parkland overlooking the Thames. Perfect to while away a few hours with a picnic and bubbly while you dream of your very own Mr. Darcy!!

Reading Wine Tasting

Or how about a drop of the chilled stuff on your hen party Reading? Stanlake Park Wine Estate situated in Great Windsor Park has a rich and fascinating history. Today it is one of the U.K’s most successful producers. It isn’t far from Reading (about 20 minutes by car) and a tour of the winery and a tasting session is a great way to spend a few hours. They have free wine tasting every weekend and if you time your trip right you can even watch the grapes being pressed. Don’t worry girls this doesn’t mean you have to get in and tread them yourself!!
