Hen Party in Leith – fascinator making in the Granary

We held another of our very popular fascinator making classes recently in the function room of the Granary in Edinburgh’s lovely Leith area. The hens were tucking into a delicious buffet when we arrived and enjoyed their food and drink while we taught them how to make some lovely fascinators.

Some of the hens chose to design their own and got very creative with lots of attention to detail – sewing beads onto the delicate netting that we had brought along and mixing textures for an interesting finish. Others chose to stick to the designs that we had brought along for them to copy and they all worked away for a couple of hours with Hannah helping them with their creations. As this was one of our mini classes, the hen party had two hours to make their designs and all did really well managing to create some fantastic fascinators in the time they had. The function room was quite dark so we had to be a bit creative with our photoshoot at the end of the fascinator making class, and all went down to post on the mezzanine for our group shot!

Thanks to all the hens for being such good fun! x

Hen Parties

We were the first business in Scotland to offer fascinator making classes for hen parties so have lots of experience and know what makes a fantastic afternoon for you and your hens! Our fascinator making classes are a brilliant idea for hen parties in Edinburgh and hen parties in Glasgow. They are a great way to spend a few hours for those looking for a craft based hen party. You can choose to have the fascinator making class in one of our venues in Edinburgh or Glasgow where you can enjoy afternoon tea, sandwiches, cakes and tea or even champagne while you make your own fascinator or at your own venue allowing you the freedom to eat and drink whatever you like whilst the hens create their fascinators. We shall consider any locations across Scotland, not just in Edinburgh and Glasgow, so just get in touch to check availability. We are always happy to taylor classes to your style, budget and likes so don't be afraid to ask questions!

Other celebrations

Although our fascinator making classes are most popular with hen parties, we have also run them for a birthday parties, as part of a creative birthday celebration, for a girls day out where the girls enjoyed a fascinator making class before heading off to a spa for the afternoon, and for an antenatal group afternoon out where the mums-to-be got together and made something for them to wear on their next night out. It's fun to combine the fascinator making class with another activity - why not do a fascinator making class before all going out for dinner, do the fascinator making class before heading to a Ladies Day at the races, or have a morning in the spa before relaxing with afternoon tea whilst making a fascinator?

Timing and special themes

Timing - Classes usually last between 2 and 3 hours. We can do our best to shape the fascinator making class as you want it, so if you want it to be shorter or longer just let us know but we tend to find that between 2 and 3 hours is just right. Obviously this varies from group to group and indeed person to person depending on their experience and chosen designs. If you have any questions about the classes at all just get in touch via our contact page. Special themes - if your hen party or other celebration has a particular theme - whether that's a colour theme, a particular era or style, we can try to bring along the appropriate materials for the fascinator making class to fit in with your theme (we do need a minimum of 3 weeks notice to do this). Again, if you have any questions, just get in touch.
