HEN WEEKEND IN CAMBRIDGE

If you are enchanted by all that is quintessentially English and can lap up the rich history, then Cambridge will definitely float your boat. Let FREEDOM show you Cambridge’s heady mix of ancient and modern, historic and sophisticated and we guarantee you will be seduced into enjoying the best ever hen party in Cambridge.

This has to be one of the most attractive cities in the U.K. A picture postcard vision of England, that makes it a firm favourite with the tourists.

On your Cambridge hen parties you’ll find the most dignified, cultured, erudite, aesthetic (oops, been using the Oxford dictionary as reference, those scholars won’t approve) of cities to welcome you.

Situated around 50 miles from London in the East of England Cambridge is surrounded by picturesque villages. To the north is marsh land called “Fens” so don’t expect too many hills here as this is rolling countryside for farming and fabulous for country walks. Cambridge itself dominates the landscape and is easily one of Britain’s most beautiful and romantic cities.

It has inspired artists, writers and poets throughout time and continues to do so today with its elegant buildings and magical ambience. Famous authors to have used Cambridge as a backdrop to their novels include Sylvia Plath, Kate Harrison and E.M. Forster to name a few.

Residents, students and visitors are seriously spoilt in Cambridge with Gothic to Modern architecture, idyllic settings for punting on the River Cam, a city which is a renowned seat of learning and all this, girls, is temptingly easy to get to for your special hen party in Cambridge.

It is the colleges that so typify the image of Cambridge. The first recorded university was 1209 when monks came to Cambridge from Oxford, as it was more peaceful for studying. Peterhouse, the first college, was founded in 1284.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the FANTASTIC time everyone had at the cocktail training in Cambridge. I had kept it a secret from everyone, what we were doing, as I did not want the hen to find out and everyone had a fabulous time, it was the highlight of our weekend. If there is any way that you can pass on my thanks to the great staff at the bar then I would much appreciate it, they really looked after us and definitely went the extra mile to give us a unique, fun experience.

Anna says
Wow! We had a great time. At the Mud and Mayhem - Trevor was excellent - and clearly used to having hen parties! The Hotel were great too. We felt very welcome and even though we kept the bar staff up late, they did not attempt to throw us out!

However - the piece de resistance was easily the Champagne Punt! The weather helped but the young (and bless, he really was young (18!!)) chap who was punting us down the river was excellent. Cambridge was a lovely place, everyone was super friendly (not always the case when on a hen night) and the bride to be has said that - It was everything I hoped it would be and more.
Just fab

We enjoyed the following activities: Mud and Mayhem, Evening Chauffeured Punt



There’s more on offer than scholarly sights. Cambridge is promising the best of historic and contemporary life. And hey what could be more English than lazily punting down the river.

O.K. we’ve established that Cambridge is famed for its beauty, history, scholars and punting, but can it deliver a top hen weekend. The current day students are demanding; they expect a great social life and Cambridge has responded. That can only be good news for you hen party Cambridge girls.

With your permission we’d like to educate you a little about the history of Cambridge. This city dates back to pre-Roman times and archaeological excavations have found evidence of occupation and hunting weapons from the late Bronze Age around 1000BC. Further evidence has traced the Iron Age to this area too around the 1st Century BC. But it was the Romans who built the first settlement here in AD40 as it was a convenient crossing point of the River Cam and so became a popular port in its day.

Throughout Anglo-Saxon times it was a busy settlement and still standing today is the tower of St Bene’t’s which is the oldest building in Cambridge. The area retained good trading links with the Continent and became very prosperous.

The Normans built a fort on Castle Hill in 1068 and all that remains today is a mound, which is allegedly the highest point in Cambridge. Apparently if you go directly north from here there is no higher ground until you reach the North Pole!!


Famously Oliver Cromwell was educated at Sidney Sussex College and was elected Member of Parliament for Cambridge in 1640. When he finally came to his demise at the hands of Charles II his head was buried in Sidney Sussex College but it is a mystery as to its whereabouts!!

The first women’s colleges were founded in the late Victorian times although degrees were not awarded to women until 1948. Well, we’ve come a long way since then!!

Famous scientists at Cambridge have included: - Isaac Newton for his work on gravitation in 1687, Charles Darwin describing evolution in 1859 and the splitting of the atom by Ernest Rutherford in 1903.

This link with science has continued and is strengthened even more so today as Cambridge, nicknamed “silicon fen,” is now an internationally recognised centre for technological innovation. The science parks, based on the edge of the town, are now home to many of the world’s most advanced technological companies. The microchips we use everyday in our i-pods and mobile phones could easily have been designed in Cambridge.

Some of our best comedic talent have studied in Cambridge and been part of the world famous “Footlights” – a theatrical group for Cambridge students which still continue to put on shows today. Great talents such as: - Sacha Baron Cohen, Peter Cook, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Griff Rhys Jones, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Emma Thompson, Clive James and countless more have been part of this group.

So, with all this historical interest on its doorstep and students from all over the world, Cambridge is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Britain. Here at FREEDOM we know all the best places to go and eat, drink, punt, cycle - you name it we have it covered. So read on to discover more about modern Cambridge and find out how it could be the most magical venue for you and the girls on your hen party Cambridge.
