Every Hen weekend should have a bit of sparkle and Manchester is definitely the place to go for Christmas sparkle.

The Christmas trees are lit and the street decorations shine through the November gloom to lighten everyone's spirits and make them feel festive.

The Christmas market is in full swing with cabins manned from all parts of Europe offering all sorts of delights from hot roast chestnuts to fantastic warming gluhwein.

Now can you think of a better place to spend your hen weekend than here with us in Manchester?

From the moment you step into the foyer of your hen friendly hotel all decorated for Christmas you'll throw off your winter blues and feel ready to party the weekend away. So get your gladrags on and let's get ready to hit those hen party venues.

Get your Manchester hen party started with a free VIP entry to one of the clubs down in Deansgate Locks to catch up on all the girly gossip and spy out the local talent....

Then on Saturday after a leisurely breakfast have a browse through the Christmas market before heading for the classy shops in St Anns Square and King Street to see where the best bargains are on offer. Or head to the Arndale Centre for all your high street names and bag a new outfit for the big hen night ahead.

Feeling peckish? Well how about combining some nibbles with an afternoon cocktail masterclass to get yourselves into a party mood. Have a Christmas cocktail competition to see who can make the best one - it could be the start of a whole new craze!

Now it's time to turn to the important matter of getting ready for that night you've all been looking forward to - the hen party! It's you last night of freedom so why not indulge in a manicure or facial at your hotel before you have that first drink of the evening while you make yourselves irresistible with those new dresses that are going to turn more than a few heads tonight in all those Manchester bars and clubs........
