A hen party in Poznan can take many forms: an elegant dinner, a girls’ afternoon at a spa, workshops with plenty of laughs or a party that goes on until dawn. A compact centre, Stary Rynek (the Old Market Square) packed with bars and restaurants, and a few genuinely original attractions make it easy to put together a programme for any group.
Below you’ll find 10 ideas you can build a whole day from – from the first activities in the afternoon to the wild night-time finale – plus a sample plan and answers to the questions organisers ask most often.
Before you start planning
The bride-to-be comes first: her personality, her sense of humour and her limits. If she isn’t keen on crowds, go for low-key activities and an evening with just your group. If she loves a party, plan a big finale. Agree on a budget per person, too, and check whether everyone can stay overnight – that decides whether you’re planning a single evening or a whole weekend.
10 ideas for a hen party in Poznan
1. A club on wheels – a party on a tram
A club on wheels just for your group: music, lighting, a dance floor and your favourite drinks, with Poznan’s main streets rolling past the windows. You can add tram decoration, catering, an HD souvenir video or a music or dance performance to your package. We’ve described the Basic, Star and VIP packages and the full list of extras on our hen party tram in Poznan offer page.
2. A croissant warm-up by the Old Market Square
A light-hearted start to the day: at Rogalowe Muzeum Poznania (the Poznan Croissant Museum), in a tenement house on the Old Market Square, you’ll learn the history of the rogal świętomarciński – St Martin’s croissant – and try your own hand at baking it. The show ends with a tasting, and photos of the bride-to-be playing baker will be among the funniest in the whole album.
3. A girls’ afternoon at the spa
Massages, a sauna, facials and a glass of prosecco in bathrobes – hotel spas and beauty salons make it easy to book a package for a small group. If you’d prefer water and more space, head to Termy Maltańskie (Malta Thermal Baths), where the pools are fed with thermal water.
4. Dance workshops
Pole dance, belly dance or heels – an hour in a dance studio means lots of laughter, a bit of effort and brilliant videos. The instructor will tailor the choreography to the group’s level, so nobody needs any dance experience. Film the final routine – a short clip of your dance could become a surprise at the wedding.
5. A sushi or cocktail workshop
When you’re all rolling sushi together or shaking cocktails, nobody is left on the sidelines, and everything you make goes straight onto the table or into your glasses. It works especially well when the group spans different ages and not everyone is a fan of clubs.
6. A make-up class and a photo shoot
A short make-up class with a professional make-up artist is a great warm-up for a photo shoot. For a backdrop, choose the colourful tenement houses of the Old Market Square, the three-dimensional mural in Śródka or the Art Nouveau façades of Jeżyce – each gives your photos a completely different feel.
7. An escape room or karaoke
In an escape room you’ll find out which of you is quickest at piecing the clues together, and in a private karaoke room – who has the strongest voice. Both are indoors, so they work on a rainy evening too.
8. An adrenaline rush: a shooting range or go-karts
Does the bride-to-be love a thrill? Take her to a sports shooting range or an indoor go-kart track. A quick tournament with a prize for the winner livens things up better than many a drink, and a group photo on the podium makes an instant souvenir.
9. Dinner with a surprise
Kick off the evening with a table at a restaurant on the Old Market Square or in Jeżyce, where there’s no shortage of bistros serving dishes from all corners of the world. For a larger group, book a private room – it makes toasts, presents and little surprises for the bride much easier. If you’re planning something more, such as a performance, let the restaurant know when you book.
10. An after party, then brunch in Jeżyce
After the tram ride, the fun can carry on in the clubs and bars around the Old Market Square – the liveliest party area in the city. The next day, book a late breakfast in Jeżyce, a district famous for its breakfast scene. It’s the perfect moment to look through the photos together.

Practical tips
- Dates – Friday and Saturday evenings fill up fast, so book your activities and the tram well in advance.
- Dress code – pick one colour or theme, such as the 1920s or a Hawaiian night. A veil and a sash for the bride are a must.
- A shared kitty – one person collects the money up front and pays for the joint activities, so nobody has to settle up at the bar in the evening.
- Accommodation – an apartment near the Old Market Square means you can walk everywhere, and we can help you arrange accommodation and transport.
Frequently asked questions
Can we have a performance or decorations on the tram?
Yes. You can add a music, dance or cabaret performance, tram decoration, hot or cold catering and an HD souvenir video to your party. Tell us the vibe you’re going for and we’ll match the extras to it.
Is a party tram suitable for a smaller group?
Yes. Our packages are priced for groups of 30 or more, but we’re happy to take a smaller group out on the tracks too – just enter the number of guests in the form and we’ll prepare a separate proposal. You’ll find more about our parties on the TramParty Poznan page.
What can you do on a hen party in Poznan when it rains?
Dance and cooking workshops, a spa, Termy Maltańskie, an escape room and karaoke all work well indoors. The tram party takes place under cover too, so rain won’t spoil the main event.
