Is it now compulsory to bankrupt your pals on hen or stag dos abroad?
It starts with the dreaded WhatsApp group. You quickly mute it, check to see if you know any other members. Watch in terror as the two-day spa getaway turns into a seven-day Ibiza beach club crawl. Before you know it, you're expected to fork over a £600 deposit or risk looking like a terrible friend. Then there are the flights, the accommodation, the restaurant bills, the bottles of fizz for the fridge, the boat trip, the matching outfits. It all adds up. You might be close with the person of honour, but oftentimes you end up bunking with someone you've never met and can't wait to shake as soon as the flight home lands. You might very well touch down sunburnt, in debt, and hungover with no intention of speaking to your former bestie ever again. Only you have to attend their home hen the following week, then their stag/hen, then their wedding, then their post-wedding brunch. Most of us these days are time-poor and cash-strapped. It is something friends and I discuss often, opting to sip wine in the flat and watch Real Housewives instead of going out for dinner or heading to the cinema. But this spirit of logic seems to leave our bodies when we approach the big milestones of adulthood (as if we are the only person in the universe that will ever mark said occasion). I think these abroad celebrations are out of control. A scourge on friendships across the country. I would go as far as to say, they might be one of the most selfish acts you can inflict on your nearest and dearest. Whether it is a hen, stag or important birthday, at what point did we decide that it was socially acceptable to bankrupt our friends? A day or night is no longer enough. Life's big moments have been repackaged as mega-budget spectacles, but for whom? It was not always this way. The concept started slowly in the early 2000s with the rise of budget holidays, before going abroad for stag and hen parties exploded in the mid-2010s. A survey conducted in 2014 revealed that more than 1 million Brits headed overseas for stag or hen parties in a year. It was around the same time that Instagram was gaining momentum. Instagram stories and influencer marketing shifted the dial on what a party should look like. I think the social media platform single-handedly bastardised the concept of honouring important moments with the people we love, morphing them into a performative circus. The days when a pub crawl or dinner and dancing could suffice for a shindig are long gone. Now, a typical stag or hen do in the UK can cost up to £779, soaring to £1,208 if you go abroad, according to a survey from 2023. And much of the revelry seems to revolve around creating content for social media. But unless you are footing the bill for your swanky, self-indulgent getaway, you should get your head checked. When I scroll through Instagram, the stories and posts from glamorous celebrities and influencers are seamlessly intermingled with the normal pictures and videos shared by my friends. I get it. Somewhere along the line, the idea that we can all live like royalty embedded itself in our subconscious. People see a constant carousel of lavish bashes, opulent tablescapes, and polished #TeamBride TikToks and feel like they are somehow deficient if they don't get the same experience. But you can have an incredible bash without leaving the country or breaking the bank. It should be about spending quality time with those you love rather than finally breaking 100 on the like-counter. I asked a friend of mine who attends so many of these things, I'm convinced she has a Time-Turner. She says everyone is traumatised by them, but luckily her experiences have all worked out okay. Her advice for making it work is to start the planning well in advance if you're the star and it's your show. If you're the one getting the invites, be selective about the ones you go on. 'If you go with the right group of people that you really get on with, it won't feel like a hen, it will just be like a holiday with your besties, which you never regret,' she says. 'But if you go along to one because you love the hen but don't know the rest of the party…you will struggle.' It is very hard to get people together these days to do anything. That might have something to do with the explosion in life event-related travel. A weekend away somewhere also makes sense if the various attendees are dispersed throughout the country. We just need to come back down to earth a little bit. If you can afford a lavish 'do, then by all means, go all out. But if you're trying to corral a dozen friends from a dozen friend groups to recreate the idyllic 30th birthday party you saw Dua Lipa attending in the mountains of Mallorca, you might be setting yourself up for a few frayed friendships.

The space is hung with Chilean art and rocks brought back from local caves
Fitzrovia might feel corporate, but hiding among the polished buildings and offices are a few spots with a bit of an edge. Mareida is the latest, an elegant fine dining restaurant serving up elevated Chilean cuisine from a buzzy open kitchen. You can feel the passion for the restaurant's vision from every corner; the space is hung with Chilean art and there are even rocks brought back from local caves. The vibe is slick and trendy, and we dine alongside good-looking couples and a large corporate crew. Our first dish was also our best; mussels in charcoal shells on a bed of fennel sand, which you sprinkle into each shell before eating. They are a lovely, textured bite, made perfect by a few dabs of warmly spiced hot sauce which has a clean, fresh, and tongue-prickling heat. Cocktails are another delight, many of them featuring Chile's national spirit pisco, including the light Mareida sour and bright-pink and intensely grapefruity Araucaria spritz, topped with a tiny tomato. We try all three empanadas - the mushroom with goat cheese, the beef and the seafood. The beef is the stand-out, rich and comforting (warning: it has a tiny, whole boiled egg inside it), but any of them are worth trying. We're recommended the wagyu slider, which is a fun little thing but doesn't taste like an awful lot; just thin-cut beef, with a touch of sweetness from the brioche and the brown butter. After a generous dash of that lovely hot sauce, it's much better, but I prefer the empanadas. There are a number of mains on offer, from raviolo with morels, to conger eel with fish broth, but the dish that will no doubt cause a stir is the pastel de choclo. A whopping great wooden bowl filled with a fascinating combo of ever-so-slightly runny poached eggs, tender lamb shoulder and raisins. The lamb is excellent but as a whole it is, in a word, wet. The crab cake gratin is cheesy and delicious, but hard to get through as a main for one. It would be a perfect starter, served with a little toast or crackers for dipping. The lomo a lo pobre is a thing of beauty - a whopping great steak with tiny little Chipsticks-style chips, caramelised onions and another runny poached egg. The steak is excellent, and perfectly cooked, but everything could use a huge hit of salt. For pudding, we tried the hojarasca, which arrives like an elevated trifle - layers of dulce de leche, vanilla and raspberry. The membrillo comes in a beautiful chocolate ball, ready to be smashed into with a spoon, and perfect hazelnut ice cream. Along with its starters, dessert is where Mareida shines.

Stunning 31-mile train journey named UK's best thanks to picturesque views
The two-hour train journey has been crowned one of the best in Britain. When you think of UK railways, you probably think of long delays, cancellations, and crowded carriages. The transport system in Britain doesn't have the best reputation, so many may be shocked to find out that there are several stunning train routes that showcase rolling countryside and golden sandy beaches. For example, the Machynlleth to Pwllheli route in Wales was recently named one of the best train journeys in the country by Conde Nast Traveller. The route covers 31 miles of track and takes around two hours and 12 minutes. On the journey, travellers will see breathtaking mountains, stunning beaches, and dense forests, and it costs less than £20 for a return journey. T he publication said: "Just inside the southernmost rim of Snowdonia National Park, this route is blessed by nature from the moment the train departs. "Passengers gaze onto scenes of tall grass smattered with waist-high wildflowers and puffy clouds over peaks fringed with forest... Not long after Dovey Junction station, the ride follows the bends of the River Dyfi until it opens wide onto the Cardigan Bay coast, shaped by fingers of creamy sand and dunes melting into the water." The train has 25 stops, including the 'most isolated station in Wales', Dovey Junction, and the acclaimed seaside town of Barmouth - just make sure you get a window seat to make the most of the journey. Most of the track hugs the country's stunning coastline, allowing for plenty of beach vistas and sea views. However, there are no first-class carriages, so it might be worth bringing your own train picnic, reports the Mirror.

Machynlleth is located 217 miles from Central London, meaning you'll have to drive around four hours and 47 minutes to get there. You can catch an indirect train from London Euston, which includes a stop over at Birmingham but only takes three hours and 52 minutes. Single adult fares start from £37.20. After arriving in Machynlleth, you can hop straight onto the train to Pwllheli or spend the night in the market town. Here, you'll find an array of museums, the Michelin-starred restaurant Ynyshir, and - if you time it right - Machynlleth Comedy Festival. You can grab return fares to Pwllheli and back for as little as £21.09. If you have a railcard, this can cut down the price to an even more impressive £13.99 - which works out at less than £7 each way!
