Harrogate also has a string of gorgeous upmarket boutiques in the town centre, down Parliament Street, such as Rita Valpiani, a stunning designer clothing store listed in the UK top 100 retailers; and Space NK – for the latest luxury cosmetics and beauty products.

The infamous Betty’s Tearooms (just down the street from Rita Valpiani) has the most amazing cakes and chocolates – the “Fat Rascals” are delicious! A great place for a girly chat while you listen to the pianist playing in the background and play spot the celebrity.

Harrogate’s famous Turkish Baths are very beautiful - the ideal place to giggle about the day’s events and a chance to soak and unwind before your night on the town; well worth a visit if you have a few hours to spare.

There are many festivals and live music events taking place throughout the year in Harrogate. Check out www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Harrogate/ to see what’s on when you are planning your Hen Do in Harrogate.

As well as exploring the city and enjoying good food and drink and lots of girly banter, we recommend combining an activity package into your Hen day or weekend.

At Henparties.com we have hand-picked each package to make your Hen party seriously special and bring the girls together in style.
We have packages to suit every budget and desire. For example, a session of pole dancing, cheerleading or Burlesque dancing is an intimate girly package and will arm you with some hot, sexy moves for your night of dancing later!

Or jump on our wide selection of go karts and quads for a bit of fun and feisty competition. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, we can arrange a luxurious session of pampering, with heavenly beauty treatments of your choice. Contact us with your requirements - we are here to please and will arrange everything for you.

Men don’t care where they crash for the night, but ladies do and Henparties.com has gone to every effort to find the best quality hotels for each price range.
All rooms have en suite bathrooms and every hotel is centrally located, so you can find your way back there safely and easily at the end of the night!
Breakfast is included in all packages.

We offer a selection of 2, 3 and 4 star hotels. 4 star is for ladies who want a bit of a treat, a hotel bar and excellent service. 3 star is good, all-round accommodation. 2 star is fine if you are on a tight budget.

Being an affluent area, Harrogate has many upmarket bars and clubs in and around Parliament Street, such as the Pitcher & Piano, Slug and Lettuce, La Tasca and Banyan Bar.

For a truly stylish Hen night in Harrogate, we love the Lure Lux Bar – fabulous fresh food, gorgeous wines, exclusive cocktails and champagnes by the glass. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, great for conversation and a bite to eat whilst you warm up for a night of partying. You could then move on to Blues Bar for some drinks and live Blues music.

Flares nightclub is great for girly girls who love all things pink – it has a 70’s theme (hence the name) and a cheesy, fun atmosphere. The Blue Monkey Club bar, restaurant and night club, is renowned as Yorkshire’s number one place to be after dark and has something for all tastes, with a diverse timetable of gigs, legendary DJ’s and star appearances. If you are looking for hot boys and some serious dancing on your Hen night, we recommend the Blue Monkey.

For Indie/alternative music and a smaller venue, try Club XS. Or Time Night Club on King’s Road offers a more exclusive, up market feel for posh, pampered Hens.
