Bournemouth hen weekends, any idea please?

Thoughts on a trip for hen party in Bournemouth around May? Girlfriend is getting married and we're arranging fun activities from daytime to night life. When to go?
What to do? and Where to stay? for 10 amazing women.

Thanks

Sort of off the topic - but why the "hen" part? Chickens are incredibly stupid and not very attractive. And I would never voluntarily identify myself as such. (If it's to match "stag" party - also kind of demeaning, but at least an attractive wild animal, not a brainless domestic fowl - then it would be "doe party")

Americans would say a bachelorette party which is most accurate - or a girl's party. And we don't have spinster's either. On public forms your choices are Miss, Ms or Mrs - or single vs married.

nytraveler - Hen do's and stag do's are the names here in the UK for Stag and Stagette parties. I have no idea why, but that is just what they are called.

"<i>On public forms your choices are Miss, Ms or Mrs - or single vs married.</i>"

Huh??

They don't tell us what to call things why should you? It is called a hen party - and since the OP appears to be British, to call it something else would be weird.
