Are hen party Survival kits/bags essential?
Of course not!
Nothing on a hen party is essential but it is a nice touch! I honestly don't know how many times I have been on a hen, popped the survival kit on the beside locker only to raid it for half its contents before going to bed (mainly the taytos) and then raid it again the next morning (mainly the painkillers and water!).
Boy have I been thankful!
I no longer wonder where its name comes from!
