A hen weekend with a difference
Looking for a hen weekend that brings everyone together for something a little different? Picture waking up in a bell tent, spending time with your favourite people and heading down to the lake for a wild swim and a lakeside sauna.
At Wild Bells, you can enjoy a countryside celebration with your group, set within the parkland of Swillington Farm, just outside Leeds. It’s a chance to get away, spend quality time together and plan a weekend that feels right for the bride-to-be.
Stay together at Wild Bells
Wild Bells is our exclusive group glamping space at Swillington Park, designed for weekends spent celebrating, relaxing and making memories together.
Settle into your bell tents, enjoy the fresh air and make the most of having your own space for the weekend. Whether you’re planning a relaxed get-together or a celebration with plenty of activities, you can make the weekend your own.
With the countryside around you and Leeds within easy reach, Wild Bells offers a convenient setting for a Yorkshire hen weekend.
Go wild swimming at Swillington Wilds
A short walk from Wild Bells, you’ll find Swillington Wilds, home to our wild swimming lake and wood-fired lakeside sauna.
A private swim and sauna session can be a memorable addition to your hen weekend. Take a dip together, warm up in the sauna and enjoy some time by the water before heading back to continue your celebrations.
If some of your group are new to wild swimming, speak to the Swillington Wilds team when enquiring. They can explain what to expect and help you decide whether a session is right for your group.
Plan a hen weekend that suits your group
The best hen weekends leave space for everyone to enjoy being together. Alongside a swim and sauna, you could plan a leisurely breakfast, organise a workshop, bring some games or set aside time to catch up.
If you’re organising the weekend, think about what the bride-to-be would enjoy most and build your plans around her. A mix of activities and free time gives everyone a chance to relax as well as celebrate.
What to pack for a wild swimming hen weekend
If you’re planning a dip, let your group know in advance so everyone can come prepared. A few useful things to bring include:
Swimwear and a towel
Warm, comfortable clothes for afterwards
Easy-to-slip-on footwear
A waterproof bag for wet swimwear
A reusable water bottle
The Swillington Wilds team can share any further information you’ll need when booking your session.
