Party Themes and Ideas

Tea Party Catering – something a bit different!

We can organise a personal, professional cook to prepare and create the menu of your choice “at home” so all that hassle has gone or even some scrumptious canapes. This leaves you and your girlfriends free to relax, enjoy yourselves and have some fun with the bubbly etc!

Have you thought of a pottery painting class or dance lesson? – even if you have 2 left feet and a mixed group of age and sensibility? No problem!! Other themes could be a murder-mystery or playing golf at various courses locally…. even a chocolate making experience for a half or whole day! There is a willow weaving course you can do or how about a raw chocolate cake vintage tea party?

The Living Elements Clinic, opposite Living Elements, offers a wide range of treatments that can be booked in advance during your stay (subject to availability) These can include massage, cranial osteopathy and other options to make you even more beautiful before the big day …and more, depending on therapist availability and numbers!

See The Add-ons and extras page for more information or see below for the Hen Party themed ones.

Active hen party weekends could include:

  • THE BEACH! Near our properties is the world famous West Wittering beach especially. It’s THE place to windsurf and surf board locally and internationally! But there are other beaches too. Bring your board and wetsuits!
  • There are some beautiful walks with pubs on route (!) including Pagham Harbour Reserve, The Trundle and Goodwood, picturesque Bosham, East Head Beach / West Wittering. …It all depends whether you want a beach walk, go shell collecting, walk in bluebell woods,walk or cycle the South Downs Way and have spectacular views, create a treasure trail in a particular locality (even the garden!) or…. Bring wellies or walking boots and prepare to be enchanted with the scenery and have a good chin-wag at the same time!
  • Many of these walks can also be used as cycle ways, and there are others too! Bring your bicycles or hire some locally – they can even get delivered for you!. You can go up on the South Downs Way or by the side of beaches and the seaside or just explore the local lanes and woods….
