Central London Crafty Hen Parties

You've wrangled the group chat, found the one pair of shoes the bride actually wanted, and talked at least two people out of a nightclub. There's one hurdle left before the wedding the hen do.

Crafting, cake and a good time with new and familiar faces make for a very good afternoon. Nobody needs to be any good at it, which is rather the point. The bride's oldest friend, her auntie who isn't drinking, her mum and the cousin who's come straight off a train from Leeds all sit at the same table, make the same thing, badly or beautifully, and have a giggle about it either way.

We're a beautiful craft venue in Covent Garden, five minutes from the market and a short walk from Charing Cross, with a second space up in Highgate. Book with us and the room is yours; you won't be sharing it with a workshop or another party. We'll put the bride's name up on our lightbox before she walks in, and you can plug your own playlist into our speakers.

Bring your own fizz; there's no corkage. Tea, coffee and iced cupcakes are on us. And if the thought of getting everyone into town is the worst part of your week, don't come: one of our mobile tutors will bring the whole thing to you, at your flat, your Airbnb or your mum's kitchen table.

We love parties, and we'd like to host yours.

We can seat up to 18. The minimum charge is 10 on a Saturday and 8 on a Sunday.

If there are fewer of you than that, you're not stuck, and please do still ask. You pay the minimum, and everyone makes extra items. A candle workshop booked for ten with eight of you means two more candles to go round. Some of our loveliest hen dos have been six or seven strong.

• All the materials, and everything you make goes home with you
• Unlimited tea, coffee, and decaf options available
• An iced cupcake each; vegan or gluten free available on request
• Exclusive use of the room for your two hours
• The bride's name on our lightbox
• Your own playlist through our speakers
• Bring your own fizz and nibbles, no corkage
• We cater for most food allergies

Every hen party workshop runs for two hours, and the whole group does the same activity it's what makes the afternoon work. All materials are included.

Resin Earrings & Hairclips 

Our most-booked hen party craft. Earrings, hair clips whatever you fancy on the day. Everyone leaves with a set ready to wear that evening.

Pure Soy Candle Making

Two 100% soy candles each, scented, coloured and topped with petals if you like. 

Flower Crowns

Wire, tape, ribbon and a great heap of faux flowers to choose from. 

Freshwater Pearl Bracelets 

As Coco Chanel once said, "a woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls". You'll learn to knot real high quality freshwater pearls onto silk thread a bracelet that lasts; rather than a party favour.

Charm Bar Necklaces

Pick your chain, then pick through the charms until you've built something that's genuinely yours.

Block Printed Tote Bags

You'll design and make your own printing block, ink it up and print your design onto a cotton tote.

Painted Candles

A set of four or five dinner candles each, painted however you like. Calm, chatty, and very good for catching up over a drink. 

Something else in mind? We've run silver ring making, calligraphy and clay for hen parties too. Ask and we'll usually sort it.
