Top 10 girls\u2019 night ideas\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

From fun girls\u2019 night in ideas to good reasons to get your gals out of the house (and their pyjamas) \u2013 we\u2019ve got you covered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 1. Host a themed girls\u2019 night\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Make it a night in with a difference and host a fully themed evening around one of your favourite stars, film franchises or even cuisines! From The Eras Tour to the films of Richard Curtis, the possibilities are endless. Go all-in with themed d\u00e9cor, outfits and a potluck dinner \u2013 but whatever you do, don\u2019t forget the playlist.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 2. Put on a movie marathon<\/span><\/h3>\n

Any excuse for a movie marathon! Set up your space with cushions, throws and all your fave snacks, then get the girls round and indulge in a few films back-to-back. You could cackle through all the Bridget Jones movies in one night, or dive into some immersive magic with Harry Potter or LOTR.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 3. Try a cooking class\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Looking for girls\u2019 night activities that won\u2019t end in a hangover? A cooking class is a super fun way to spend time together while you learn a new skill \u2013 and you can guarantee the food will be good!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 4. Run an arts and crafts night\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Arts and crafts are ideal if you\u2019re hunting for wholesome girls\u2019 night ideas at home. Get your gals together for a sip and paint, try your hand at pottery, lino printing or even cross-stitch, and catch up while you craft, no screens allowed! The best part? You\u2019ll have a cute memento to take home at the end of the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 5. Organise a cocktail (or mocktail!) crawl\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re celebrating an engagement or a special achievement, why not get dolled up and head into town? Take the pub crawl and make it a touch more extra by mapping a route of all your favourite cocktail bars. You can try a different drink in each venue or stick to your favourite and compare \u2013 and remember mocktails are a great option too!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 6. Sing the hits with a karaoke night\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Vocal chops or not \u2013 belting out the classics with your girlfriends is basically medicinal. Book a karaoke booth in a local bar or get a setup you can use at home, but never underestimate the healing power of a good sing, whether you\u2019re screeching along to Paramore or wailing to Madonna.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 7. Set up an at-home spa\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve all been feeling a little stressed and burnt out lately, girls\u2019 night in ideas like a pamper evening or DIY spa could be the perfect choice. Get sheet masks for everyone, set up a little manicure station and order in. It\u2019s a relaxing, affordable way to decompress with your besties after a long week.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Put together a cheese and wine night<\/span><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing better than a sharing board with the girls. Put all your fave charcuterie out with pickles, crackers and cheeses, or try baking a camembert with a fresh baguette. It\u2019s a great way to feed a hungry mob without too much hassle, and you could even try a dessert version with chocolate, sweets, biscuits and any other treats you fancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 9. Organise a DIY book club\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Are you and your gals always saying you need to read more? It\u2019s hard to get round to when life gets in the way, but arranging a book club night is a great incentive to get reading. Choose a novel that\u2019s been on your TBR pile for ages and put a date in the diary! When the time comes, stock up on wine and snacks, and research some book club questions online \u2013 so you can find out what everyone thinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 10. Book dinner and a show\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

For a special birthday, a milestone or just a good excuse to get together and experience some culture, dinner and a show is a foolproof combo that never lets you down. Book in a musical, a show or a movie and grab some dinner first so you\u2019ve still got a chance to catch up, or get drinks after so you can talk about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
