(A 2025 guide for bridesmaids, maids-of-honour and anyone hunting for the most memorable hen do in the capital.)

1. A Single Set Price – No Hidden Costs

Most hen-party activities quote a price “per person” and then pile on extra fees. At Pole Mission you pay £240 for a private 75-minute pole-dance party, no matter how many hens you bring (within studio capacity). The rate includes exclusive studio hire, all equipment and expert instruction – so you can keep the kitty simple and stress-free.

2. Central Soho Studio = Maximum Fun, Minimum Travel

Your bachelorette party takes place at 80 a Dean Street – bang in the middle of Soho and a three-minute walk from Tottenham Court Road tube. Oxford Circus, Leicester Square and Covent Garden are all within minutes on foot, making post-class cocktails a breeze.

3. Beginner-Friendly, Confidence-Boosting & Seriously Instagrammable

Pole Mission’s professional-grade X-Poles (40 mm & 45 mm chrome, stainless and brass) mean every guest – from gym bunny to proud sofa-surfer – can nail their first spin. Skilled instructors break the moves down, add a short routine and finish with a mini photo shoot so you leave with Reels-ready footage for the wedding slideshow.

4. Trends Show Dance-Based Hen Dos Are London’s Hottest Choice

Hitched’s 2024 roundup of 40 London Hen-Do Essentials places dance classes – including ABBA, Beyoncé and 90s pop – in its top recommendations, proving that brides want immersive, experience-led celebrations. A pole-dance bachelorette party gives you the same energetic group buzz but with an extra shot of empowerment.

5. Theme It Your Way

Whether your bride is a disco diva or burlesque queen, your instructor can tailor the playlist and routine. Popular requests include:

ABBA Disco Spins – sequins, platforms and “Dancing Queen” hair flicks.
Beyoncé Bootcamp – channel your inner Sasha Fierce with chair choreography and ring-flash arm waves.
Vintage Burlesque – feather-fan flourishes for a touch of Moulin Rouge glamour.

(Just mention your theme on the enquiry form and Pole Mission will sort the rest.)

FAQ (Fast Answers for the Group Chat)

Is pole safe for pregnant guests or injuries?

Yes – just let the instructor know in advance and we’ll offer low-impact variations or set up a comfy spectator spot.

What should we wear?

Pole works best in shorts or leggings and a vest top so your skin can grip the pole. But it’s a hen party, so bring the fun! Bride-to-be veils, sashes, sparkly tutus and matching themed T-shirts are all welcome. Keep anything very loose or dangly (big jewellery, feather boas) for the photo session, and skip body lotion on the day – it makes the pole slippery.

How do we secure a date?

Send an enquiry via the link below and we’ll get everything sorted right away.

Can we bring prosecco / cupcakes?

Absolutely – just let us know beforehand so we can chill the glasses and set up a cake table.
