Hen and stag party fun hits new heights at Hampshire wedding venue

Newlyweds-to-be looking looking for hen or stag party ideas with a difference can now take to the treetops at Hampshire's Tylney Hall Hotel & Gardens

The historic Grade II listed country house hotel and wedding venue has launched a new tree climbing package in partnership with The Great Big Tree Climbing Co.

Groups now have the chance to climb the 130-year-old cedar – one of the tallest trees on the hotel's 66-acre estate – great as a fun hen, stag or team-building activity. The towering cedar tree is the ideal challenge and climbers will be able to reach the canopy using ropes and harnesses, under expert instruction.

Sam Aziz, general manager of Tylney Hall Hotel, said, “Everyone needs a bit of adventure in their lives, and tree climbing is a great way to challenge yourself – as well as providing some well-earned fun. The 66 acres of gardens are the hotel's crowning glory and this new activity will give guests the chance to see more of the estate, get closer to nature, and enjoy a unique view of Tylney Hall from the top of our great cedar tree.”

Packages start from £450 for a full afternoon for up to 16 people, larger group bookings are also available.
