Hens Party Venues in Surry Hills

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

For a bride-to-be who'd rather watch a burlesque act than sit through a quiet lunch, Surry Hills has rooms built for exactly that. Two80 Cabaret on Cleveland Street counts hens parties and burlesque among the events it hosts, and Soultrap's basement on Campbell Street runs burlesque and comedy nights of its own.

What each venue brings to a hens celebration:

A drag host and a photobooth: The Winery's team can book both, along with a DJ or photographer, and canapés start from $50 per person.
Rooftop cocktails: Tilly May's @ The Trinity serves cocktails on arrival, and the whole rooftop can be booked for 70 to 90, from $70 per person.
A stage for the entertainment: Two80 Cabaret's lighting and sound show off a performer properly, with capacity of 160 standing, from $3,000 minimum spend.
Balloons and photos: the Royal Albert Hotel adds balloon garlands and a photographer, with drinks packages from $45 per person.
A private bar with a deck: the Whisky Room at The Clock takes 60 standing, with French-leaning canapés from the events menu.

Bridal parties planning a next stop are well placed, as The Clock and Tilly May's are both on Crown Street, at numbers 470 and 505, and The Winery is further along at 285A.

Decorate Soultrap's lit timber cabinets to match your theme, and styles from twenties glamour to nineties nostalgia are familiar ground for its team.
A magic mirror photobooth with prints and props can be added at Soultrap for the group shots.
The Winery's Garden Room, with its green vertical garden, joins the Private Dining Room for 70 guests.
Tilly May's retractable roof closes over the room when the weather turns, so a rooftop hens isn't at the mercy of rain.

Sizing up the hens group

An intimate bridal party of up to 20 fits Leigh's Lounge by the fire at Tilly May's.
Around 30 standing suits the Ruby Lounge at the Royal Albert, The Clock's Crown Street Banquette or the largest karaoke room at Goros, which takes up to 35.
Up to 50 or 60 fits Annie's Area beneath the roof at Tilly May's or the Royal Albert's Beer Garden.
A big combined hens can take the Pendulum Lounge at The Clock for 120 or Two80 Cabaret for 160.
