This week’s blog is packed with helpful tips on planning a hen party in Cardiff & Penarth.

I visit South Wales a lot as we run so many crafty workshops there. I have totally fallen in love with the area (although nothing will drag me away from my London roots!). penarth pier2 My favourite place in the Cardiff area is Penarth. Only a 15 minute train ride for the centre of Cardiff and is set on the ocean with a beautiful vintage pier offering gorgeous views of Penarth. We host crafty workshops in both these locations.

Cardiff Hen Party Idea Number 2

The pier is a great place to start your Cardiff Hen Party and I would start with brunch at The Waterloo Tea Room.

Expect, Great Teas – imported by Waterloo Tea, with many Organic and FairTrade options. Gorgeous Coffee (you’re going to need it!) – rotating roasters, showcasing different roasters, origins and varietals. Delicious Food – using seasonal local produce, and a focus on creativity.

Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Teas. Art – fundamental to what their space is all about – expect to be surprised with an array of artists, both local and from further afield.

Cardiff Hen Party Idea Number 3

Take a Charleston Dance Class with “Lindy Hop Cardiff.”

We love a bit of vintage dancing and Lindy Hop Cardiff are creating fantastic nights out with classes included. They also run hen party dance classes. They even have a class on the Penarth Pier, it’s called “Swinging At The Pavillion” (pictured below) and it looks like so much fun.

They can teach you The Charleston in a one hour class for hen party groups….I so want to do this wearing a Glam Hatters’ Great Gatsby Inspired Head Piece and a Flapper dress.

The yellow boats will run approximately every 40 minutes between Penarth from the Cardiff Bay Barrage, and the Pier Head in Cardiff Bay close to Mermaid Quay. Each one way trip takes about 15 minutes. You can go by The Water Bus timetable or hire the boat for your hen party!
