Want the feel of a destination hen-party without actually leaving the country? Look no further than culture, cocktail and club-filled Brighton. 
Brighton’s very own palace, the Royal Pavilion, looks as though it’s been plucked from the far-flung corners of Asia and dropped into the Sussex seaside.
With a history as colourful as the town’s nightlife, the historic house was built as a seaside pleasure palace for King George IV, and marries Regency grandeur with the visual style of India and China.
Soak up some culture here before happy hour and you’ll discover interiors are as fabulously flamboyant as its façade.

Capture Insta-worthy hen moments while sipping champagne in the i360’s Sky Bar, the most unique bar in the UK!

With cheap 'n' cheerful penny slots, garishly-flashing arcade games and questionnable rides for the dare-devils amongst you; the Grade II listed Brighton Pier brings all the fun of the fair to any hen weekend in the town.
Check out the kitschy attractions and admire the sea views before tucking into hot fish and chips wrapped in newspaper and sticks of personalised rock - the perfect Brighton hen souvenir. And no matter your age, a turn on the Waltzers and the Carousel never gets old.
