What's involved

Two activities. One bride-to-be. Absolutely no dignity left by the end of it.

The Hen Challenge lets your group pick two from a line-up of four, then hands the whole thing over to a friendly activity coordinator who sorts the kit, the rules and the refereeing.

First up, old school sports day. Egg and spoon, bean bag race and all the other classics you last attempted aged nine, now attempted in significantly less sensible footwear.

Then there's bubble mayhen, where you strap an inflatable zorb over your top half and bounce off each other until someone ends up on their back like an upturned beetle.

Prefer something faster? Dodgeball is all dipping, ducking, diving and dodging, and it gets competitive far quicker than anyone expects.

Or take on combat archery, where the aim is genuinely to shoot your mates. Accuracy varies wildly.

Whichever two you land on, expect shrieking, terrible tactics and a bride-to-be being thoroughly ganged up on!

The whole thing runs for about two hours, long enough to settle a few scores before you head off for the rest of the day.

It's a brilliant way to kick off a hen weekend, especially when half the group have never met each other. Nothing breaks the ice like a shared sports day injury.

Available seven days a week, indoors in a sports hall or outside on a 3G pitch, so the weather isn't going to ruin it.

So, which two are you picking?

We had the best time. Dom our instructor was brilliant and really got the team spirit going, we had a blast at the old school sports day and thoroughly recommend it!!! The archery was also so much fun and made the experience unique and we had a real laugh! Thank you very much for the amazing experience.
