If you need a sophisticated excuse for a Hen Party in Cambridge, then I am your girl… I can throw quite the afternoon tea party, if you didn’t know by now hehe and it’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon with your fellow hens and relax with a few homemade afternoon tea treats in a secluded Cambridgeshire location.
