Planning a York Hen Do
Hen parties staying in and around York will have a fantastic selection of award-winning restaurants and bars to choose from and accommodation options to suit all budgets. Your hen weekend would not be complete without a hen party activity to get your friends mingling and bonding. We suggest…
An overnight bushcraft and wild camping experience
What could be more unusual and memorable than spending the evening sleeping under the stars Bear Gryll’s style? Located in tranquil, private woodland just 8 miles north of York, your party will sleep in jungle bashas or hammocks and cook all their food on the open fire (or wood fired pizza oven). You’ll learn new skills and forge new friendships on this overnight experience. Only £300 for up to 8 people including your evening meal and breakfast.
A vineyard tour with afternoon tea or light lunch
Tucked away off the A59 between York and Harrogate is the award-winning Yorkshire Heart Vineyard. This is a great venue for a unique hen do afternoon. You’ll enjoy afternoon tea or a light lunch in their newly built visitor centre before joining the vineyard tour and then sampling some of their best selling wines. Priced at £25 per head for afternoon tea and £28 for a light lunch for groups of 10 people or more. Please contact us for more details and to book.
An Art Experience with Creative Workshops Yorkshire
Spend an afternoon in a stunning property with your host and a qualified art tutor learning a new skill. Choose from watercolours, lino printing, pastels, chalks…whatever your gals are into. What could be more fun than getting together with your hen friends and all creating something unique while being served delicous home cooked food? Contact us for prices and packages.
Planning a Leeds Hen Do
Leeds has earned a reputation as one of the UK’s best cities in recent years. With great shopping opportunities, fabulous restaurants and bars opening almost weekly there is something to suit all manner of hen parties in Leeds. We suggest…
A group cookery experience
We have an excellent hen party cookery workshop with Get Cooking in Leeds which involves splitting into small teams and cooking tapas-style dishes to enjoy together at the end with a well-earned glass of vino. You can elect to introduce an element of competition to the afternoon and have a ‘Ready, Steady, Cook’ style competition as part of your session with a small prize for the winning team. Please contact us for more details and to book.
Ceramics mini taster for four people
Who says hen dos have to be large affairs? This is a ceramics mini taster session for four people led by talented ceramicist Rebecca Caterall of Sunken Studios. She runs the two hour workshops from her home studio and covers a range of techniques to give you an introduction to working methods and practices. This small group activity would make an excellent alternative hen do idea. £140 for 4 people. Contact us to enquire about larger group packages with Sunken Studios.
Leeds craft brewery tour
The Brewtown craft beer tour of Leeds is great hen do activity for a group of up to 8 people. You’ll join Mark on the Brewtown minibus at Leeds station and he’ll take you on a tour of some of the best small, craft breweries in Leeds where you’ll sample their best selling beers and learn all about the craft brewing business. We’d wholeheartedly recommend this tour too novices and craft ale converts alike – read our review. £70 per person
