Choosing the right place to hold a hen party can make or break your party and the destination will set the tone for everything else you do. In recent years, Edinburgh has become one of the most popular cities in the UK for hen parties, and for good reason! From its cobbled streets in Old Town to its world renowned restaurants, to its great nightlife, influential cocktail bars and landmarks, Edinburgh has everything you need to set up an incredible experience.
Many organisers, however, find that arranging transport for a large group of hens around a busy city like Edinburgh is the hardest part of planning a hen party. A 49 or 50 seater coach hire from Edinburgh Minibus Company will eliminate this problem completely.
The Hen Party Industry: Current Statistical Information
Hen parties in the UK represent a fast-growing and significant segment of the tourism market and are particularly prevalent in Edinburgh:
- Edinburgh is always among the top 10 most popular destinations for hen parties in the UK because it provides all sorts of advantages that make tourists choose it.
- According to research of more than 7,500 hen parties the average group number at a hen party was 14.2. The most popular group sizes were 10 and 20 hens.
- UK hennigs typically cost on average £250 per person with transportation being an integral part of remaining budget conscious.
- Hens will typically book their celebrations 173 days – approximately 6 months – prior to the event, which also confirms the need for hens to secure transport/logistics early.
- Edinburgh consistently ranks amongst the top ten hen destinations in the UK and has become particularly popular with groups wanting excellent nightlife without the high prices of London.
Based on these statistics, it is evident that most hen parties in Edinburgh are large, meticulously planned and budget conscious, thus providing a logical and economical solution through hiring a professional coach.
Why Should You Consider Taking a 49 or 50 Seater Hen Party Coach?
- Everyone arrives and leaves together as a team
The success of a hen party hinges on the unity of the party team and their enjoyment throughout the event. If guests arrive separately in – buses, taxis, or in cars, it’s easy for the team to get split up.
People could get separated at different stages, resulting in lost time and decreased enjoyment. In a hen party coach, the whole hen team arrives together, departs together, and always leaves safely together after the event.
- Private Vehicle for Your Entire Team
Choosing a large-sized vehicle like a 49 or 50-seater gives the whole group access to its own dedicated space. Facilities provided by Edinburgh Minibus Company on all coaches include:
- Complimentary Wi-Fi access for all guests
- Power outlets in every seat
- Conveniently arranged seating, allowing ample legroom
- Luggage space for everything the hen party needs
- Plenty of room in the vehicle for the hen team to enjoy themselves before and after the venue
- Reliable , Safe, Late night transport
Edinburgh hen parties often go on throughout the night, and using taxis or rideshare to get this large number of people back to their house can be very costly and not very reliable for peak times.
By using a pre-booked coach through the Edinburgh Minbus Company to transport everyone home, you are guaranteed to get every member of your party home safely to their accommodations at the time agreed upon, with no waiting, no splitting up, and no uncertainty.
- Significant cost savings
When the 49 – 50 seat coach price is spread across the entire group, the total cost of each person’s transportation consistently and substantially less than using taxis or private hire cars.
For groups that are already incurring £250 or more per person in expenses, this will provide significant savings and reduce some of the overall budgeting pressures.
