For weekend bookings, aim to reserve your venue at least a couple of months in advance, especially for popular places like Circuit York or Impossible Wonderbar & Tea Room York.

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. If you love live music, check out venues with gig nights and hire a space for your group.
