Embark on the Ultimate Adventure Hen Weekend at How Steam Gorge
Are you looking for a hen weekend that combines adventure with relaxation? Look no further than the How Stean Gorge Hen Do Weekend Package. Our bespoke package offers a unique blend of excitement and leisure, perfect for those who want to celebrate in style but with an adventurous twist.

Set in the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales, How Stean Gorge, offers real adventure in a beautiful, unspoilt part of the world.
The Big 5 is a hen do and stag do favourite – five activities all in one day, all taking part within 3 miles of the Gorge itself. There’s not many places where paddle sports and rock sports take place in the same location with little walking. We do more activities and less travelling. You’ll go gorge walking or gorge scrambling as it’s sometimes called, abseiling, canoeing and caving followed by the via ferrata course (only 2 in England).
You’ll be glad to know that the gorge walking and via ferrata experiences are filmed on headcams by the instructors. A DVD of your experience is provided – subject to successful recording. There’s lots of this footage on our YouTube channel.
The fun begins on Friday evening, setting the tone for a weekend to remember. You can unwind and catch up with your friends over a delicious BBQ or an evening meal at our licensed café, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. This is not just a meal; it’s the start of an unforgettable weekend, offering both relaxation and a chance to bond.
On Saturday morning, you’ll be greeted by our friendly and experienced instructor, who will be your guide through the exhilarating activities we have lined up. Our instructor will ensure that everyone, regardless of their experience level, feels comfortable and engaged.
Over the next two days, your hen weekend will be filled with thrilling activities:
- Gorge Walking: Immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of How Stean Gorge. Walk through breath-taking scenery, sit under cascading waterfalls, and plunge into crystal-clear pools. It’s an experience that combines the thrill of exploration with the beauty of nature.
- Abseiling: Experience the rush of abseiling off a bridge and into a steep-sided gorge. This activity is perfect for adrenaline seekers and offers a unique way to see the landscape from a different perspective.
- Canoeing: Take to the water and learn new skills while canoeing. It’s a fantastic way to explore the area, with opportunities to spot wildlife and enjoy the tranquillity of the water.
- Caving: Discover the wonders beneath your feet. Caving at How Stean Gorge is an eye-opening experience that allows you to explore the underground landscapes and learn about the geological history of the area.
- Via Ferrata Course: Challenge yourself on our via ferrata course. This activity involves balancing on beams over rushing water and navigating the gorge using cables and ladders. It’s a test of nerve and skill and offers an exhilarating experience.
To end this perfect package, on the Sunday morning after a home cooked breakfast, you’ll relax in Harrogate’s Turkish Baths and Spa. This package is the best of both worlds with action packed adventure that’s caught on camera – to prove to the guys what you actually achieved and that you might have had more fun than they did – and a relaxing experience in one of England’s grandest Turkish Baths.
So, if you’re looking for a hen weekend with a difference, the How Stean Gorge Hen Do Weekend Package is the perfect choice. It’s not just an adventure; it’s an experience that will be cherished by the bride-to-be and her closest friends for years to come.
