Hen weekends in Blackpool – make your last night of freedom your best night of freedom.

It's not for everyone. Like Marmite, the Brazilian wax and sushi it's a love, hate thing. One or two people hate it with a passion. Everyone else loves it for what it is. Fun. Mad, daft, wild, crazy fun. It's Blackpool. But you need to know where to book for the best Blackpool hotels and the best deals. Here's what to look for.

Blackpool hen weekends: kelp wraps not allowed.

If your idea of a great hen weekend is necking overpriced rose, dressed in a towelling robe, waiting for a kelp wrap that cost more than your car then you'll probably not relish the many and varied delights of Blackpool.

Hen weekends in Blackpool tend to avoid kelp wraps – although there's plenty of seaweed under the pier to go at if you get desperate. No, Blackpool hen weekends offer something a little less indulgent, a little less smug. And a hell of a lot more fun. Head west. Blackpool's where it's at.

Of course, hen nights are a thing of the past. They're so 1980s. This is your last party as a single girl. Such an event needs more than just one night to commemorate it. You need a weekend at least. Actually you probably need a month but let's assume you and your mates don't have quite that long to spare.

Hen weekends in Blackpool – everyone needs a place to stay…

A weekend it is, then. Let's plan. Let's start with accommodation. Hen weekends in Blackpool need a base. You need somewhere to collapse at the end of the night. You need somewhere where you can get showered and changed. Where you can plug in a hairdryer and iron your outfit. You need somewhere where you can start the party, where you can end the party, and where you can escape the party for five minutes if it all gets too much.

Blackpool hen weekends tend to overlook such things. They'll book into the grubbiest hovel imaginable because they failed to plan, failed to book. They just turned up on spec assuming there'd be plenty of room to spare.
Don't assume. Blackpool's the number 1 destination for hen parties in the UK. Rooms get booked up fast. Rooms in good Blackpool hotels get booked really fast.

So do the homework in advance. Look for Blackpool hotels close to all the action so you don't spend a fortune on taxis. Look for those marks of quality that mean you're getting a good standard of accommodation. You'd rather stay in an en suite room, wouldn't you? You want a tv, tea and coffee making facilities, a place to iron your clothes. It may be simple stuff but some hotels don't offer this level of service to stag and hen parties. The absence of an en suite bathroom can put a serious dampener on even the wildest hen weekends in Blackpool. It's difficult to all agree a time to head out for the night when there's a queue for the shower.

And what about the entertainment? Sure, there's enough in town to keep the most energetic of Blackpool hen weekends on the go for months, let alone a weekend. But despite the fact that clubs and bars can open 24hrs most still choose not too. That means that you could find someone else telling you when it's time for the party to stop. If you've had the foresight to book a hotel with a great bar – and one that opens 24hrs a day – then you call the shots. Literally. And you can keep calling them until you decide to call it a night. Or day.

Hen weekends in Blackpool – party while you save!

Blackpool hen weekends should also offer great value. Now here's the thing: some Blackpool hotels offer VIP passes. You have to search them out – but find a hotel that offers the quality mentioned above, the 24hr bar and VIP passes and you've struck gold.

VIP passes offer hen weekends in Blackpool the chance to save – and save BIG. They'll grant your hen party free entry to a host of pubs and clubs. They'll let you jump the queue. They'll even give you free shots, free bubbly and drinks at a huge discount. And when you've partied yourselves out, they'll give you massive discounts on food too.

Blackpool hen weekends – permission to be silly.

Some things are a given on all Blackpool hen weekends. You will scare yourself silly on the Pleasure Beach. You will embarrass yourself trying to climb on a donkey. You will stand at the end of a pier pretending you're Kate Winslet in Titanic whilst the girls do a bad karaoke version of My Heart Will Go On. You will get a bit messy.
And you should too. You deserve it. But you also deserve a quality place to crash when you're finally spent.
Take the time to do your research. Make sure your hotel offers the very best for hen weekends in Blackpool.
Then all you have to worry about is how you're going to spend your time. One thing's for sure, though: kelp wraps won't be included.
