Harrogate
Harrogate is one of Yorkshire’s most elegant destinations. Perfect for hen parties, it offers a tranquil setting in a picturesque environment. Its beauty and charm are the main reasons; it’s becoming an up and coming location for hens and stags alike.
Accommodation in Harrogate is varied for hens and stags, there’s the option of hotels, self catering apartments and county cottages. These do tend to be at the higher end of the price bracket so if your looking for a relatively cheaper weekend, Harrogate is not for you. Most of the accommodation is at least 3* upwards.
For the hens, there’s a wide range of centrally located activities to choose from including dance classes, chocolate making and cocktail making to name a few but if that’s not your idea of fun, there’s also a great variety of outdoor events such as Buggy Arena Games, Canyonning in the Dales and the G.I Jane activity.
The outdoor events are always popular with the stags especially with events such as the Mini Tanks, Rage Buggies and that old favourite classic, Paintball.
Thirsk races are also close by to Harrogate and always have a great afternoon of racing planned. It’s very popular with stags so if racing is for you, make you get something booked as early as possible.
This charming little town isn’t short of interesting attractions. Harrogate is renowned for its smart little tearooms and classy cafés spilling out onto the pavements. The celebrated Betty’s tearoom is a must if you’re visiting Harrogate. It was established in 1919 and queues are still forming today for their glorious afternoon teas.
Harrogate is certainly the tranquil weekend for any party wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives. Pure relaxation at The Turkish Baths and Health Spa, complete with steam rooms and pools is the perfect treat for anyone.
The traditional market town does have its bars and a nightclub but it’s not the city for a crazy weekend of drinking and wearing the ‘L’ plates!
