York Hen Weekend

York Hen Accommodation

York is an amazing city to host any Hen Weekend. Whether you have an interest in History or whether you just enjoy York's historic surroundings, there is plenty to do and plenty of accommodation to choose from.

This walled city is “Hen Party sized” to allow you to cover its entirety on foot in little over 15 mins, from Micklegate to Monkbar. Why not take a stroll around the city walls themselves, giving a unique view into York city centre. It also wouldn’t be a trip to York without stopping by the impressive York Minster Cathedral.

But where to stay? Well luckily we have a lovely choice of Hen Accommodation to pick from. If you prioritise location then you cant go wrong with the Riverside Apartments just next to York Dungeons, or Monkbar Mews apartments which is a converted barn located, you guessed it, against York walls by the Monkbar Mews entrance. Also consider Spurriergate house apartments which can sleep upto 18 guests over 3 apartments, again right in the heart of York city centre.

If you prefer some more space, we have a 14/15 sleeper barn 8 miles from the city itself, however this option gives you complete privacy, outdoor space with patio, fire and of course a Hot tub.

For groups who prefer the convenience and comfort of a Hotel for their hen do in York we would recommend the Roomzzz Aparthotel or modern Moxy Marriott Hotel.

Things to do on a York Hen Weekend

So, you’re heading to York for the Hen Weekend and need to decide on the best activities to include. We try and help below by categorising different Types of Hens and then give our favourite choices for each.

The Outdoorsy Hen:

Luckily, once you exit York city centre, you’ll find yourself in the rolling hills of North Yorkshire’s national parks, which unsurprisingly offer loads of fun activities. Why not consider some Quad Biking, Archery, Raft Building, Kayaking or even Clay Pigeon Shooting. You can spend you day getting down and dirty, before heading back to the many bars and pubs of York centre.

The Active Hen:

For those groups looking for something fun and active but maybe sticking closer to your accommodation, we would consider the nostalgic Old School Sports Day, or if your hen likes to be centre of attention, what about the Silent Disco, busting some shapes are you hit the cobbles. Other options would be to tackle one of the many dance class themes from Barbie to Mama Mia!

The Crafty Hen:

For something more laid back and creative how about putting the hens to work creating something to take back home, such as a Perfume Making Class, Garter or Flower Crown Making. These crafty activities take place in a central venue so logistically can fit into any plans. If you were feeling a bit more risqué, book the Body Painting class where you will decorate a nude male model! Or a Striptease Life Drawing class.

The Insta-Hen:

Have you even been on a Hen Weekend unless it hits your Grid! Luckily there are plenty of Photo opportunities in York given the historic setting along with beautiful bars such as The Botanist, Manahatta and Impossible. You can book Bottomless Brunches, Cocktail Classes and don’t forget some Beautiful Apartments in which we can bring in Butlers in the Buff, Mobile mixologists or even Strippers (maybe keep that one off socials)
