Fun Hen Weekend in the Cotswolds
Fun hen weekend activity ...required
An email enquiry to X Marks The Spot read: “We are planning a lovely girlie hen do in the Oxfordshire countryside. We would like to include a treasure hunt in the Cotswolds as part of our fun hen weekend.
We have seen your ready made packages in Oxford, but as we’re going there on Saturday night, we’d rather not go back and forth twice.
Is it possible to have a tailor made treasure hunt near where we’re staying in Bampton as part of our fun Cotswolds hen weekend?”
Fun hen weekend activity ...designed
Never one to shirk a challenge our team set about finding out as much as possible about the hen – without her knowing of course!
Her ‘friends’ provided an invaluable source of information from photos to funnies, nicknames to nuances and in-jokes to interests. We were howling at some of the pics and anecdotes. We instantly knew that a fun hen weekend in the Cotswolds for the bride-to-be was definitely on the cards.
Our team painstakingly researched the area via the internet, books and site visits. We also weighed up where the group was staying, their preferences and fit with other plans.
Consequently, a self-run treasure hunt in cars emerged as the best option. We chose a route along the lovely river Windrush from Witney to Burford via Minster Lovell and Swinbrook.
Finally, our clever cluesmiths compiled the clues by carefully weaving all the information together.
So, a few weeks later – with branded souvenir team packs and personalised Ordnance Survey Maps at the ready – the surprise was sprung.

Some feedback via email:
“I just wanted to say what a fabulous time we had last weekend – obviously the weather was perfect and showed the Cotswolds off to absolute perfection.
The treasure hunt was so carefully thought out and nicely challenging that it took full advantage of our competitive natures. There was lots of adrenalin flowing as we chased each other in cars around the countryside!
The cricket pitch picnic was picture perfect and the walking circuit from Swinbrook was so picturesque it was almost difficult to concentrate on the hunt!
Melissa absolutely loved it and said how happy she was that her bridesmaids knew her so well to plan something so perfect for her.
All in all, a fantastic success – thank you again for all your assistance!”
