Why hens book with Flock,
instead of planning everything themselves.

  1. We organise the weekend.

    Hen houses, activities, dining, the Saturday-night plan. Your hen planner who has walked the house and booked the suppliers. You give us the bride's vibe; we come back with a shape that fits her.

  2. We chase the money.

    Each hen pays us £50 to hold a place, then three monthly Payday instalments. 0 reminders you have to send. We chase. You don't.

  3. We plan every detail, you celebrate.

    Houses, activities, dining — all booked and confirmed before the weekend starts. We plan every detail so things run smoothly and you can focus on the bride.

Flock dealt with all the payments so I didn't have to chase anyone up. Taking off any added stress.

The most amazing weekend in Kingussie. Eilidh, who organised everything, couldn't be more helpful.

Took the stress out of my hen do in Bath. Everything was easy. They sorted a payment plan and organised the activities.

Slight hiccup 3 days before, original owners had double-booked. Kat was immediately on the case and found us an incredible replacement.
