Hens Party Venues in Richmond

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Upstairs at the Mt View, The Loft @ Mt View Hotel gives a hens group a mezzanine of its own, with the second-level bar on hand, a pool table and a projector for the bride-to-be's photo slideshow.

Saturday-night DJs are the drawcard further along Bridge Road at The Bridge Hotel, while The National Hotel on Victoria Street takes hens bookings in its function rooms and beer garden.
