Hen party activities in York

York packs a lot into small, walkable streets: medieval lanes, a gin distillery or two, and boat trips on the Ouse between the bars. In our experience, hen weekends here suit groups who like their party with a side of pretty — craft workshops and chocolate-making in the day, social gaming and cocktails around the Stonebow at night.

The Shambles gets packed by midday, so do the sightseeing early and keep afternoons for the booked stuff. Race weekends at the Knavesmire are the premium dates; book those first.
