York knows how to show hens a good time and after all that dancing, laughing and late night prosecco, you’ll need somewhere comfy to crash. Booking your accommodation through Hen Party Deals is easy and stress free, leaving you more time to focus on the fun stuff. We offer everything from stylish city centre hotels and modern apartments to cute places that fit the whole gang, all at prices that keep plenty of money left in the budget for cocktails.
One of the best things about staying in York is how close everything is. You can roll out of bed, grab a coffee and be walking through the cobbled streets within minutes so there’s no faffing about with transport or stressing over timings. Most bars, restaurants and activities are just a short walk away, which makes the whole weekend flow beautifully. If you want to be right in the middle of the action, we’ve got modern hotels and central apartments close to The Shambles, Fossgate and Micklegate, so you’re never far from having fun.
If your bride prefers something a little more relaxed, York also has loads of lovely boutique hotels, guesthouses and quieter apartments just outside the main centre. They’re ideal if you want a peaceful night’s sleep but still want to be close enough to stroll into town. Whether your group wants full on glamour, easy comfort or just somewhere cosy to kick off your heels and rest your heads, we’ll help you find the perfect base.
Getting around York is simple, fuss free and perfect for a hen weekend where fun comes first. The city centre is compact and walkable, so most attractions, shops, bars and restaurants are only a few minutes apart. It means you can keep the group together and enjoy the day without worrying about taxis or tight schedules.
If you do need public transport, York has a reliable bus network operated by First Bus and Arriva. Buses run frequently from stops around the city centre and connect you to surrounding areas such as Acomb, Heworth and Fulford. It’s handy if your accommodation or activities are slightly further out.
Taxis are easy to find too. You can pre-book or grab one from ranks near the station on Duncombe Place or around Micklegate. Services such as Uber also operate in the city, which is great for late night trips back after cocktails and dancing.
York railway station sits right next to the city walls and is only a short walk from the centre. Trains run regularly to London Kings Cross in under two hours, with direct services to Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Edinburgh. It’s ideal if your York hen group is travelling from all over the UK.
For groups heading to countryside activities or venues outside the city, pre-booking a minibus, private transfer or even a party bus is a brilliant option. It keeps everyone together, saves time and makes the journey part of the fun. Whether you’re walking, hopping on a bus, jumping in a taxi or arriving by train, getting around during your York hen weekend is easy and relaxed.
Parking in York takes a bit of planning, but once you know where to go, it’s straightforward. If you’re driving in for your hen weekend, there are lots of car parks that make life easier. The main city centre car parks include Monk Bar, Foss Islands Road and Castle Car Park. They’re well located for exploring The Shambles, shopping streets and nightlife areas. You can park up, freshen up and head straight out without a long trek across town. Most are pay and display and offer short stay and all day options, which works well whether you’re popping in for brunch or staying for the full weekend.
If you’d prefer something slightly quieter, there are park and ride options on the outskirts of York. They’re affordable, regular and drop you right into the city centre, taking the stress out of driving in busy areas. On street parking is available in some areas too, just be sure to check signage for restrictions and timings. For nights out, many car parks offer cheaper evening rates, so you can enjoy your hen night without worrying about rushing back to top up the meter. With a bit of forward planning, parking in York is easy and leaves you free to focus on celebrating the bride properly.
York is full of character and that’s reflected in the range of accommodation available. Whatever your bride’s style, you’ll find somewhere that suits your group perfectly. If you’re after a fun, sociable atmosphere, hostels can be a great option. Many are centrally located, which means you wake up right in the heart of the city. They’re budget friendly and ideal for hens who want to spend more on experiences and drinks. After all, you probably won’t spend that much time in your accommodation anyway; you’ll be out having fun with your besties.
For more space and flexibility, self catering apartments are an absolute hen party favourite. They give you more than enough room for getting ready together, playing games, doing hair and make up and enjoying pre-drinks in a laid-back atmosphere. You can cook breakfast, lounge around in your pyjamas and come and go as you please, which makes everything feel relaxed and easy.
Hotels are always a popular choice for hen weekends. They offer comfort, convenience and that little bit of indulgence that feels right for celebrating. York city centre has loads of hotels close to shops, bars and restaurants. You can often book rooms on the same floor or next to each other, keeping the group close. Adding breakfast is a great shout too, especially after a big night out.
If your bride loves a bit of luxury, York has some stunning boutique and high end hotels. You can expect spacious rooms, stylish interiors and sometimes even spa facilities if you fancy a treat. They’re perfect for pampering, relaxing and enjoying a calmer moment between all the fun. Whatever accommodation you choose in York, you’ll be surrounded by charm, comfort and everything you need for an unforgettable hen weekend.
