Haute couture hens
Not content with being a wonderful hotel for weddings, The George in Rye has recently announced the launch of a collection of Haute Hen Party Packages, too. These will include an overnight stay, a three course gourmet dinner and breakfast, plus hens can choose from three chic activities, starting from just £158.
On the Delicious Decorating package, you and the girls will learn the intricate art of sugarcraft, with a private workshop hosted by local cake company Sylvia’s Kitchen. During this two-hour class, hens will put their patisserie skills to the test to design their own miniature cake creations – a guaranteed way to satisfy those with a sweet tooth.
Cocktails & Canapes promises to be a highly entertaining afternoon. The George’s very own cocktail waiters will teach hens how to make cocktails, accompanied by a delicious assortment of canapés, in the comfort of the George Tap. From mouth-watering mojitos to refreshing caipirinhas, choose from an extensive menu of cocktail creations to be sampled as an aperitif prior to a three-course supper served in The Grill. A signature cocktail can also be designed in honour of the bride, and to top it off each hen will be given a George branded cocktail making certificate to take away as a keepsake of the day.
For a relaxing afternoon of girly grooming, the Beauty and Bubbles package might be for you! The George has teamed up with Rye’s leading day spa The Rye Retreat to offer you and your maids a mini manicure in the heavenly spa surroundings while enjoying a glass of Champagne – a fabulous way to get glam for the weekend.
