Hens, time for some Llama Drama!
The National Forest are offering prospective brides a unique way to unleash the animal on their hen nights...llama trekking!
Brides-to-be are booking the woolly South American beasts to unwind with on their hen nights. Some people choose to go off to big towns like Blackpool, London or Brighton for the night, others book cottages and end up having their catering done by an organisation like Butlers In The Buff, whilst others will head to the spa for a relaxing weekend. But hen parties in the National Forest see brides-to-be enjoying spending time with the llamas, and taking a half-day trek as part of a long weekend they have booked. The motto of ‘You feel calmer when you walk with a llama’ is the perfect sell for girls fretting about their big day at the altar. A llama trek hen party is really relaxing – but great fun too. And the organisers report a dramatic reduction in alcohol consumption too, as girls find the animals so soothing that they tend not to get drunk, and just spend the time enjoying the animals and having fun outdoors. After the trek, you get to spend the night a traditional Mongolian yurt, with all food provided. The yurt creates a really nice atmosphere, being round it’s so much nicer than a square room like a bar or nightclub. We wonder if this hen night craze will catch on...watch this space!
