Hens Parties
at Royals
Gather your favourite people for a hens party at Royals, a private venue in central Christchurch. The indoor space and rooftop are yours for the occasion, whether that's a long lunch, afternoon drinks or an evening of celebrations.
Royals works just as well as a starting point. Spend the afternoon together before heading into town, or stay for the whole night.
