CREATE A PACKAGEBarcelona has a strong workshop scene that works particularly well for hen parties because the activities are genuinely social. A cocktail class, a dance lesson or a craft session gives the group a shared experience rather than just somewhere to be, and most venues in Barcelona have been running hen group sessions long enough to know how to pace them well.
The Cocktail Masterclass and Tapas is the most booked workshop activity for hen groups. It runs for about 2 hours in a private venue with a professional instructor, combines making and eating in the same session and ends with everyone having consumed enough that the transition to the evening feels natural. Charm Bracelet Making is the most popular craft option and works well as a midday activity that gives the group something to take home.
For something more physical, the Salsa Dance Class and Burlesque Class both run in private studio settings and are designed for groups with no prior experience. Neither requires any preparation and both tend to get more entertaining as the session goes on. The Flamenco Show is the alternative for groups that want to watch rather than take part, with several venues offering private dining options that make a full evening of it.
Top 10 Barcelona Hen Activities for 2026
Chosen by our Barcelona-based team after thousands of hen weekends
Barcelona has become Europe's top destination for hen weekends, and these ten activities are the reason why. Whether your group wants to sail the coast on a private catamaran, laugh through a nude life drawing class, or get the full VIP treatment with a Magic Mike dinner experience, Barcelona has the variety to keep every girl in the group happy. The Cocktail Masterclass and Tapas gives the group a chance to eat, drink and compete without leaving their seats, while the Beach Picnic and Tapas Tour cover the stylish, relaxed side of the city. For something more indulgent, the Party Bus and Butler in the Buff take care of the evening in style. BCN Events and Crawls has been organising Barcelona hen weekends for over a decade. Every activity on this list is tried, tested, and booked by hundreds of groups every year.
