PARTY ON! Meet the expert: Flight Club Darts are activity-based cocktail bars celebrating 10 years in business, with nationwide locations including in Westgate, Oxford. Hayley Coleman does the PR for the brand. We are planning a combined hen and stag party. Can you suggest a fun way to celebrate it? Hayley says: Being appointed the chief hen planner (or ‘sten’ planner if you’re hosting a hen and stag combination) is no easy task. You’ve got to come up with something that will be fun for a big group, often with a mix of ages and personalities, that doesn’t break the bank. Activity bars are the perfect option for a pre-wedding party to remember. Think tasty cocktails, a buzzing atmosphere, beautiful backdrops for gorgeous photos, and super fun games. Flight Club, with a branch in Oxford, has all the ingredients needed for an epic hen or sten party. The fairground-inspired bar looks spectacular, with lights blinking in time to the music and an actual carousel horse. It offers a brilliant activity in the form of Social Darts - a revamped version of the classic game, and it’s ideal for groups. An oche (play space) accommodates up to 12 people and you can connect multiple oches for bigger groups. There’s a resident DJ for guaranteed party vibes and an impressive selection of cocktails on the menu. https://flightclubdarts.com www.instagram.com/flightclubdarts COUNTRYFILE Meet the experts: Vicki Baggott is a travel expert at Feather Down Farms, the luxury glamping brand providing farm stay holidays and short breaks across the UK with sites featuring hot tubs, multiple bedrooms, kitchens and more all while offering visitors an off-grid digital detox experience.
