By Butlers in the Buff · From £35pp · We come to you
Scarborough is Yorkshire's most iconic seaside town, two sweeping bays separated by the dramatic headland castle, a Victorian spa, a lively harbour and a proper traditional seaside atmosphere that's entirely its own. It's a fantastic coastal hen party destination for groups from Yorkshire and the wider North of England. Our mixologists cover Scarborough and the North Yorkshire coast.
Scarborough was England's first seaside resort, the mineral springs were discovered in the 17th century and by the Victorian era it had become one of the country's most fashionable destinations. The two bays. South Bay with its vibrant harbour, amusements and beach, and the quieter North Bay, are divided by the dramatic 11th-century castle headland. South Cliff has some of the finest Victorian spa architecture in England, including the Grand Hotel and the Spa Complex. The town has a genuine character and energy that many English seaside resorts have lost.
What to do in Scarborough for a hen weekend
Scarborough Castle
The dramatic 11th-century castle on the headland between the two bays is free to enter and has extraordinary views across both bays and out to sea. A brilliant free hen afternoon activity.
South Bay Beach & Harbour
Scarborough's South Bay is classic English seaside at its best, donkeys, amusements, fish and chips, a funicular railway and the beautiful Victorian Spa. Brilliant for a group afternoon.
North Bay & Peasholm Park
North Bay is quieter and more residential | Peasholm Park has a boating lake and the North Bay Railway is a charming miniature steam railway popular with groups.
The Grand Hotel & Victorian Heritage
The Grand Hotel, built in 1867, was one of Europe's largest hotels, its Victorian Gothic architecture dominates the South Bay cliff. The Spa Complex and Italian Gardens below are beautifully preserved.
