Looking to give your bride to be a send off she’ll never forget? If she’s a country music lover, a denim diva, or just someone who loves a good theme, then a Last Hoedown hen party in Edinburgh is the perfect way to celebrate! Read on for hats, line dancing and a secret rodeo bar!
Kick It Off With Vintage Shopping at Armstrongs for That Cowgirl Look
If you want to level up your hen party outfits or create a fun pre party activity, head to Armstrongs Vintage in the Grassmarket. It’s a treasure trove of retro fashion and a brilliant place to hunt down vintage denim, Western shirts, fringed jackets, cowboy boots, or statement belts.
Let the hens browse the rails and pick out something fabulous and fun. You could even make it a mini challenge: who can find the most outrageous cowgirl outfit? Not only is it great for laughs, but you'll leave with Instagram worthy looks for your big night out.
Get Crafty with a Cowboy Hat Decorating Workshop
No Last Hoedown hen party is complete without customised cowgirl hats and what better way to do it than with a fun, creative cowboy hat customisation workshop? Hosted by us, Crafts for Hens at our Abbeyhill Studio, this hands on session lets your group personalise their own hats with glitter, feathers, rhinestones, ribbons, and more.
It’s the perfect daytime activity to break up the partying, especially if you're looking for something crafty and inclusive. Plus, you'll all leave with a one-of-a-kind hat to wear for the rest of the hen party, ideal for photos, bar hopping, and giving the bride her ultimate cowgirl moment. Plus it's BYO - Moonshine!
Get Into The Groove With Line Dancing Fun
What’s a Last Hoedown without a bit of two stepping? For a truly authentic last rodeo hen party, book a line dancing session with either Sashay Dance or freestyle later on in the night at Grassmarket Irish pub Dropkick Murphys.
Sashay Dance offers private hen party dance classes with your own instructor who’ll teach you and the gals a fun country inspired routine. Think Dolly Parton vibes, cowboy boots, and a whole lot of sass, no dance experience needed!
For something a little more pub style and lively, check out Dropkick Murphys, which sometimes hosts live country nights or themed events. It’s a brilliant spot to get into the party spirit, line dance the night away, and maybe even enjoy a whisky or two while you're at it.
Both are perfect options to get your group laughing, bonding, and fully in the hoedown mood.
Giddy Up to Westside Rodeo for the Big Night Out
After you've mastered your moves, it's time to head to Westside Rodeo, one of the few truly Western themed bars in Edinburgh and ideal for a cowgirl night out!
Located on George St in the city centre, this bar delivers on atmosphere with country tunes, themed cocktails, karaoke and a big dancefloor. The staff are hen party friendly and the energy is always high.
Expect barn style vibes, loud music, and maybe even a mechanical bull if you're feeling brave. Don’t forget your hats and boots this is the place to go all-out with your hen party outfits and show off your best line dancing moves!
