Reviews for Sheffield hen activities
Mobile Cocktail Making with Cheeky Mixologist
Jamie was the perfect butler - just the right amount of cheeky and the best host. He was communicative, well prepared and helpful. All the ladies (and gentlemen) felt at ease and he made the hen do that bit more exciting. The cocktail making was really fun (and tasty) and he got the party going with some funny games. Communication has been great throughout the booking.

Stag Stitch Up Life Drawing
Really enjoyable experience - good fun and well lead. slightly disappointed over the location - before booking i was ensured it was city centre sheffield. It wasn't, we had to spend £60 on taxis to get there and back, which is slightly frustrating.
