Putting the G into Valentine’s

Galentine's Day uses the holiday of love to celebrate those friends and family members you hold close to your heart. So why not come together and empower the ladies in your life with a fun-filled day. Here are some ideas to get you started!

Cooking class

This is perfect for all of your foodie friends. Whether you’re a master chef, or an amateur baker, a class in a kitchen with your closest friends can be a really fun experience. There are many different classes available throughout Cavan and beyond. What’s more is there are some great online classes available which could be just as enjoyable and from the comfort of your own home. Lavey chef Shane Smith is among those running popular online classes that you can also watch back at a time that suits you. So, invite those friends over, uncork that wine bottle and get cooking.

Spa day

Have you been dying for a manicure? Or maybe you’re in desperate need of a great massage. Why not book you and your crew into a spa for the day? This is the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate while spending time with the ladies in your life at the same time. Then end your day with a dip in the hot tub or a steam room session. Perfect. You're spoilt for choice in Cavan with options from the fabulous Farnham Estate in Cavan to the Slieve Russell in Ballyconnell.

Paint party

Have you been putting off painting your home because the thoughts of doing it alone are too daunting? Then this could be a great option for you. Have your friends grab a paint brush or roller and get painting. The key to throwing a great painting party is the refreshments. So make sure you grab drinks, a cheese board, tasty desserts, whatever you know your friends will enjoy. Let's hope you end up with more paint on the walls that on yourselves.

Karaoke night

I don’t know about you, but screaming Tina Turner with your pals sounds like a great night to us. Everybody loves a good singing session, whether you’ve lungs like Adele or not. Dust off that karaoke machine you had when you were 13, plug in those mics and get ready to belt out your favourite anthems. The perfect gals night your crew are sure to remember.

Games night

So many fantastic nights start with a monopoly board and a group of friends. Why not grab some of your favourite games, finger food and party music because you are in for a great night. Also, make sure you have tissues for the sore loser, there’s always one!
