Step aside Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool! The
York hen do
has arrived. Once the preserve of school coach parties and the blue rinse brigade, York is now historic and hip, thanks to the arrival of gorgeous boutique city centre hotels, swanky riverside bars and a whole host of shops selling everything from one-off pieces of jewellery to must-have heels and handbags.
Here are five reasons why hen do in York rocks.
Not to mention the Rolo, the Caramac and the Aero! York is the home of Rowntree and they take chocolate pretty seriously here. Go on the chocolate trail or try your hand at chocolate making. This city is a chocoholics paradise.
Chocolate making hen weekend packages in York start at £141.00pp.
York is a brilliant night out. Take your pick from stylish riverside restaurants, chain bars, charming ye olde pubs and swanky vodka and cocktail bars. Do the infamous Micklegate pub crawl for a crazy night out with the girls. If something more sophisticated is in order, head for The Quarter. Kuda and The Gallery are the big clubs.
If you want serious retail therapy, a York hen do definitely won't disappoint. Manchester's got the Trafford Centre but York has winding streets with independent boutiques, designer stores and gorgeous gifty shops. It's a great place to pick up wow factor wedding jewellery. Head for Stonegate and Petergate for one-of-a-kind pieces.
Few cities can match York for character, class and style. Yorkshire's capital is one of the prettiest, most cultured and historic cities in the UK. It's picturesque in summer and magical in autumn and winter. Think roaring log fires, twinkly lights, winding cobbled streets and awe-inspiring cathedrals. Prepare to be completely captivated!
