I know the heading of this thread isn't a great opener.......but......I'm organising a very small, low key get together for a friend getting married in June. (you could almost call it a hen party..:) And I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for doing something a little different than the usual spa / brunches etc.


Ideally we want to do an activity of some description around Peckham / South East London and then have a local dinner, so it's more the activity that I'd like some fellow forum'ers help with. The bride to be is Spanish as are 8 out of the 11 people attending. We were thinking of hiring a canal boat for the day, but as we have left it a little last minute (happening in two weeks) everywhere seems booked up.


So any suggestions would be helpful, alternatively if anyone knows of a skipper with a boat do PM me!

Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!

Unless you must do it on a Saturday this boat seems to have availability: https://www.designmynight.com/london/event-space/kings-cross/canal-boat-party

What do the Spanish do? Friend of mine lived in Munich and she had to dress up as a fr?ulein and try to sell home made cakes in the street. He donned a false moustache, lederhosen, long socks and a Bavarian hat (not sure what he had to sell in the street).


I thought what an unusual hen/stag do. Not sure why the two of them didn't like it!

For my sisters hen do we had a private flamenco class. The teacher booked a room in a gym and we met there. It was fun and I brought props - a flamenco style skirt, flowers to wear in her hair etc. We're not Spanish but we like dancing. It was 8 years ago so I don't have details of the teacher but I found her through an internet search.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
