Hens Party Venues in the Southern Suburbs

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Two contrasting picks sit south of the city for a hens day. Edmonton has the Grafton Hotel, a restored local with rooms and a bar ready to go; Little Mulgrave has Mulgrave Gardens, a private plot of tropical planting that the bride-to-be can theme however she likes.

Weighing Edmonton against Little Mulgrave for the hens:

The Grafton Hotel welcomes hens groups, with tasteful decorations, and its Function Room seats 40 or holds 60 standing.
Mulgrave Gardens holds up to 120, seated for a long lunch or standing for sunset drinks.
Drinks at the pub can include cocktails on arrival added to a package; at the garden, hosts supply and serve their own.
The garden has a thatched Balinese Hut, a pond pergola, bamboo groves and orchids for a styled afternoon.
The pub's kitchen does share platters, while the garden leaves food to the caterer you choose.

Pricing is by quote at both, so have a rough guest list ready when you enquire.

Bring in your own stylist, furniture and caterer; power and water are provided on site.
The Peaceful Pond Pergola suits a casual gathering, with a small bridge over the fishpond.
Bands and playlists are fine without subwoofers, and the drinks stop at 10pm.
Off-street parking takes coaches, so a hired coach can bring the group in and take everyone home.

A pub hens night at the Grafton Hotel

Choose a standard, premium or deluxe drinks package for two to four hours, or set a bar tab limit.
Share platters run from antipasto and cheese to sandwiches, fruit and sweets.
The beer garden section beside the stage suits a group that wants live music.
There is no courtesy bus, so book transport home for the group.
