Pop the champagne, zip up your sparkly dress, and get ready to paint the town pink. Hens parties are the pinnacle of a bride-to-be's wedding preparations, but planning them? That can be (for want of a better word) an ordeal for the maid of honour and bridesmaids.

If you're planning a hens party in Brisbane, we've got you covered for a seamless and jam-packed event full of fun, food, glitz, glamour, and a little bit of pampering.
From the vibrant precinct of Woolloongabba's South/City/SQ to the chic venues in the lively heart of the city, let's explore a curated selection of hen party ideas that promise glamour, excitement, and lasting memories.
Unique Activities for a Memorable Hens Party
There are so many things to do in Brisbane that can fill a party plan before you’ve had time to say ‘surprise!’ While the restaurant and dining scene in Brisbane speaks for itself, you might be after something a little more unique to treat the future bridal party.
Here are some of our favourite hens party ideas Brisbane has to offer:
Sip and Paint at Brush & Barrel
Unleash your inner artist with a classic sip and paint experience. At Brush & Barrel in Newstead, nothing is taken too seriously, and everyone (including the instructors) is there for a good time.
Channel your creativity onto canvases while enjoying some fine wine and great company. Sip and Paint at Brush & Barrel is the perfect way to gear up for a fabulous day, evening, or weekend with the girls.
Champagne and Oyster River Cruise
Elevate your Hens Party with a touch of sophistication aboard a river cruise. Glide along the Brisbane River, sipping champagne, surrounded by the city's glittering lights. It’s a picturesque setting for laughter, stories, and the joy of the impending nuptials.
While there are plenty of Brisbane River cruises to choose from, we recommend you check out the River to Bay Champagne and Oyster Tour. This indulgent (and just a bit boujee) five-hour cruise takes you from Howard Smith Wharves to Moreton Island and back.
You’ll enjoy French champagne, freshly shucked oysters straight from the ocean, and a tour guide who will assist with wild sealife spotting on your adventure. If you’re lucky, you’ll see turtles, stingrays, dugongs, and even dolphins.
Mystic Escape in Fish Lane
Planning a hens party in Brisbane for someone who loves a challenge? Kick things up a notch with an exhilarating challenge at Mystic Escape. Located in the gorgeous Fish Lane in South Brisbane, Mystic Escape boasts three stunning rooms, each with a plethora of intricate puzzles and immersive experiences.
The bride's squad will unravel mysteries, decode clues, and strengthen their bond as they navigate through themed escape rooms. Choose from City of Ashes, The Fairytales, or Yokai Izakaya – these magical and story-driven escape rooms are seriously like no others you’ve encountered.
Whether your group has that competitive streak that will ensure you escape within the timeframe, or if it's more of a ‘give it a go’ type that may succumb to the giggles, Mystic Escape is the perfect place to have fun and celebrate.
High Tea at Customs House
Elevate the afternoon with an elegant high tea at Customs House, one of Brisbane’s finest and most stunning heritage landmarks. Indulge in an array of sweet and savoury delights in a luxurious setting just in front of the Story Bridge.
Alongside a glass of Louis Roederer Brut Premier Champagne, the oh-so-delightful menu includes:
- Raspberry scones with jam, cream and fresh raspberries
- Ribbon sandwiches and savoury canapés
- Assorted handcrafted petite desserts and macarons
- Espresso coffee
- French handcrafted tea selection
It's a sophisticated affair that adds a touch of refinement to your hens party *clink*.
Pole Dancing Party
Embrace your adventurous side with a fabulous pole dancing party. With plenty of locations in Brisbane, including Hanger 66 and The Pole Gym, this empowering activity is a fun way to celebrate the bride-to-be's upcoming journey into marriage.
Professional instructors ensure everyone has a blast while learning some impressive moves. Warning: silliness is guaranteed to ensue.
Angelika Film Centre
As the sun sets, venture to the Angelika Film Centre in South/City/SQ. This boutique cinema is the first and only of its kind in Australia, and after major successes in the States, it’s not hard to see why the cinema is packed every night.
Sip a glass of bubbles in the bar before your movie and stock up on some boxes of classic movie popcorn to take in. Recline in plush armchair-style seating and enjoy the state-of-the-art cinema technology as you’re engulfed in your film of choice.
Afterwards, hit up one of the many excellent dining hotspots in South/City/SQ for drinks, dinner, and movie debriefs.
