How to Plan the Ultimate Girl’s Weekend Away

If you’re looking to spend a little downtime with your female friends, then planning a girl’s weekend away might be just the thing. The UK, happily, provides plenty of places to spend such a break. But you’ll tend to enjoy yourself a great deal more with the help of the right planning. Let’s take a look at what that planning might look like – whether you’re going for a birthday, a hen party, or you’d simply like to celebrate for the sake of celebrating.

Ultimate Girl’s Weekend Away

Book in Advance

Get your travel, accommodation and entertainment booked in advance if you want to avoid disappointment. The earlier you do this, the better. This is going to be of particular benefit to larger parties, who run a greater risk of being turned away. So, if you’re thinking of booking a restaurant table for twelve people on a Saturday night, you need to do so early!

Use a discount code

If you’re going to squeeze every available penny during your trip, then you’ll want to make use of discount coupons and codes wherever possible. Certain members of your party might have access to special discounts, many of which will be of benefit to everyone. A TUI discount code for NHS workers, for example, makes holidaying more affordable.

Taking your weekend up a notch

Often, it’s the little touches that can help to push your break to the next level. Matching outfits will help everyone to get into the mood, and remind everyone that this is a trip that’s like no other. Similarly, you might pick up little souvenirs for everyone to reflect on later, as a memento of the experience. Even if it’s something as simple as a fridge magnet, it might provide a cherished source of nostalgia, long into the future.

Activity planning

Your choice of activities will play a role in how the trip is remembered. If you’re just going to be going to pubs and restaurants, then you might find that the weekend is just like any other – and that might be exactly what you’re looking for.

If you’d prefer something a little bit more memorable, on the other hand, it pays to book something that’s a little different from what you’re used to. Try to pick an activity that reflects the strengths of the place you’re visiting, as well as the tastes of the people you’re travelling with. If you’re heading to the Lake District, for example, then it makes a lot of sense to spend at least some of the time walking across hillsides and looking down at lakes.

Ideally, you’ll want your weekend packed with activities, while still providing a little bit of time for people to rest and relax in the mornings. If you know that some people won’t be available first thing, then make plans which involve just a few of you – that way, you won’t feel like you’re dragging everyone along!
