I am trying to organise a Hen Weekend in Ireland! I would like to stay local enough to Dublin as I don't want half the day taken up with travelling, so Wexford, kilkenny etc.. would be good counties! Has anyone any suggestions. The group that will be going are on mixed incomes, so I don't want to spend a huge amount but would still like it to be quite special for the bride.
Dungarvan in Waterford could be an idea - though perhaps too far? The bars are 'hen friendly' and allow dressing up etc (which could be enough reason not to go) which many Dublin bars don't. Also less mainstream then Kilkenny/Dublin to allow the bride to feel its her special night.
Kilkenny is absolutely saturated with hens and stags every weekend, all of whom seem to end up in the same places! If you are looking for anything a bit different or a bit special I definitely would not go there!
