If you're looking for a private dining space, you may have more flexibility, but if you're booking for a larger group, it’s best to secure your spot early.

Skip the standard bar and do something different. You could book a medieval-style feast in a historic venue like Merchant Adventurers’ Hall for an old-world birthday experience.  If you love a bit of mystery, why not book an escape room before heading to your party? Or how about a riverside celebration? Some private boat hire options let you cruise the Ouse while sipping drinks and celebrating in style.
