York Stag Weekends

York More Info

“York! It's not for girls!" York is a city steeped in history, being a former capital of the Roman Empire. It is situated in North Yorkshire and on the borders of the "North Yorkshire Moors", "The Pennines", and "The Wolds". When you think York, think pubs, and lots of them! For the drink connoisseur and pub crawl lover, York should be a gold in the centre of the target.

City Nightlife

York is all about, pubs, pubs and more pubs!! It is perfect for a pub crawl with ales of all kinds to sample, bars of all types to get drunk in, and women with strange accents to gawp at! "The Kings Arms" provides a river view and is crammed with eye-candy in the summer. Clubs are not York’s forte, as pubs rule the roost here. There are a handful of clubs here, but the best one’s are about a £5 train fare away in Leeds.

York Travel Info

York is just under two hours from London by train, whilst the A64 connects York to the both the M1 and the A1(M), making this city an easily accessible stag venue.

York Stag Ideas

There is a choice selection of historic pubs and restaurants, and combinations of the two in York. Down by the river seems a popular day-time activity for the easy-going stag. "Plonkers" bar is found here and seems to have it all from food (Thai + English), local ales and more. One activity that is definitely worth a laugh is the "Ghost Tour". A decent trek that takes you through York’s macabre past, with plenty of eerie places to go and dark stories to be heard, this will separate the men from the boys. "12 of us went on a ghost hunt, very spooky but hilarious. Especially when a couple of masked ghouls jumped out and ambushed us. My mate Andy screamed like a girl and curled up into the foetal position. He will never forget that, neither will we!" - Rick Burdett, Nov 2007
