Yorkshire’s emergence as a stag and hen mecca has proven divisive
One leading industry firm said factors ranging from the cost-of-living crisis to the war in Ukraine have pushed-up demand for ‘stay at home’ stag and hen parties, with groups increasingly shunning expensive trips abroad.
The firm, which has organised stag and hen trips for around 500,000 Brits, revealed bookings to Leeds have risen by 55% during the past 12 months, while jaunts to Sheffield have shot up by 25% - making it more attractive than the likes of Munich and Riga. “We take more bookings there than Barcelona, Budapest, Amsterdam – everywhere outside the UK bar Dublin. In the space of a few years, it has well and truly cemented itself as one of Europe’s hen party capitals.”However, Yorkshire’s emergence as a stag and hen mecca is divisive. One of the region’s MPs has waged war against an industry she claims has ‘devastated’ her city.
And while stags and hens split opinion, they are undoubtedly lucrative. According to Matt, he estimates they bring between £5 to 10 million into York’s economy alone each year, propping up hundreds of jobs in hospitality and leisure in the process.
