York Hen Parties
York is fast becoming one of the most popular Hen Party locations in the North of England. With a fantastic selection of luxurious hotels, plush bars, fancy restaurants and happening nightclubs, it's not difficult to see why! Why not come and sample some fantastic North Yorkshire hospitality in a modern place that still has the heritage of its Viking and Roman beginnings dotted around the city.
If you're feeling cultural then why not take a leisurely stroll around York Minster and the medieval cobbled streets that are lined with all the High Street outlets? August is a massive month for the city as it hosts York Races, arguably one of the most spectacular race meetings in the UK calendar. A great opportunity for your group to go out and buy an expensive outfit and silly hat for the occasion! The McArthur Glen shopping centre in central York will be able to help you out in that department!
York is famous for its ridiculous amount of pubs within such a small vicinity of each other! You'll certainly have ample opportunities to send your Bride-to-be off in style, with a few glasses of nicely chilled wine thrown in for good measure! The city also boasts two great theatres, the Theatre Royal and the Grand Opera House, if you fancy taking in a play or musical before hitting the bars. With its surrounding countryside and cosmopolitan feel, there is no better venue in the North to host your all-important Hen celebrations! York quite simply has the lot!
