1. Picking the perfect venue for the Hen party
A Glamping Retreat or Garden Party
Glamping could serve as a fantastic venue for a Hippy Hen do, featuring yurts and tipis. It’s important to consider the guests and their budget, as prices can vary significantly between different glamping sites across the UK.
Alternatively, you might consider hosting a home ‘glamping’ experience paired with a bohemian-style garden party—especially if you have access to a spacious garden. Set up some garden lights, arrange floor cushions, and enjoy a picnic-style feast together.
Check out these Fairy Lights for Camping from Amazon.
A Festival
You may be able to time the Hen do with a music festival that is already taking place. Live bands, maybe a bonfire, perhaps some dreamcatchers, it’s all very hippy.
Or you could create your own music festival at home. See this festival bundle to help you create the right atmosphere.
A Wellness retreat
This is more my cup of tea! Perhaps some meditation, a sound bath and maybe some spa treatments. Sound bliss.
For The DIY retreat check this out – This bundle features a step-by-step retreat agenda (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon), carefully designed to guide you through self-care, reflection, and relaxation. You’ll explore mindfulness meditations, guided visualizations, journaling prompts, vision board creation, and other restorative activities—all tailored to help you reconnect with yourself and embrace self-love.
2. Create a 'Hippy' dress code
Hippy/ boho dress code
Encourage guests to dress in a Hippy style, and you could also provide somes accessories. Ideas include flowery dresses, crochet tops and tie-dye outfits. Don’t forget the flower crowns and headbands and the round sunglasses and peace sign jewellery. Temporary tattos are also fun.
Here’s a great outfit from Amazon, and in my opinion is a bargain!
3. Activities that are fun and relaxing
Make your own flower crown
You could get some kits to make some floral headpieces. This is such a fun and relaxing activity and at the end you will have a beautiful flower crown. I love these sets from MinnaBlooms, take a look.
Henna Tattoos
How about some Henna Tattoos. Get yourself a kit like this with Henna Stencils inks and instructions.
Groovy Bride games
Games like ‘Bridal Bingo’ can be a laugh. Here is a 1970’s style version.
4. Food and Drinks
Hippy food and drinks
Keeping with the hippy vibe you want some vegan & organic options such as buddha bowls, fresh fruit and hummus platters.
Boho Cocktails such as lavender gin fizz, elderflower spritz, sangria.
Don’t forget the herbal tea.
These Hippy Cake toppers are very on theme.
5. Hippy Hen Party Favours
Party Favours are always fun!
They are a nice keepsake of the Hen do. Ideas include Crystal Healing Stones, Scented Soy Candles, Eco-Friendly Tote Bags
or Wildflower Seed Packets.
6. Decor & Ambience
Hippy do decor
Wherever you plan to have your hippy hen do, some decorations will add to the ambience. Things like Macramé and Dreamcatchers,Fairy Lights & Lanterns and Tie-Dye Banners & Handmade Signs.
These table pieces look great.
7. Playlist & Entertainment

There are so many great bands from the 60s and 70s that would be great for your Hippy Hen Do play list. Think, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley to name a few.
