Hen and Stag Motorhome Hire in Yorkshire

Forget the overpriced city centre apartment and the predictable bar crawl. A motorhome hen or stag do is something genuinely different - an adventure that your group will be talking about for years to come. At Heath's Motorhome Hire in Pontefract, we have kitted out plenty of hen parties and stag weekends, and we know exactly what makes them work.

The concept is simple but brilliant. Hire one or more motorhomes, gather your group, pick a destination, and set off for a weekend of celebration. You have your own mobile base, complete with kitchen, sleeping space, and a living area where the group can gather. No taxi fares between venues, no hotel check-in times to worry about, and no noise complaints from the room next door. The motorhome is your space, and the rules are yours to set.

For hen parties, the Yorkshire coast makes a fantastic destination. Whitby, with its harbour, fish and chip shops, and cobbled streets, offers a charming backdrop for a weekend with friends. Scarborough has a livelier nightlife scene if that is what the group wants, and the beaches at Filey and Robin Hood's Bay are perfect for morning walks to clear the heads. Further afield, the Lake District offers a more adventurous option, with outdoor activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, and fell walking during the day and cosy pub evenings after dark.

Stag weekends tend to gravitate towards different activities, and a motorhome is the ideal base for them. Mountain biking in the Yorkshire Dales, wild swimming in the rivers and tarns, go-karting, clay pigeon shooting, or simply a weekend of walking, pub lunches, and catching up with mates - a motorhome gives you the flexibility to do whatever the group fancies. Head to Northumberland for surfing at Bamburgh or to the Peak District for climbing and caving.

The practical advantages for group celebrations are significant. Splitting the cost of a motorhome between a group of friends makes it remarkably affordable per person. A weekend hire divided between four to six people often works out cheaper than individual hotel rooms, and you get far more flexibility. You can stock the fridge with your own food and drinks rather than paying pub and restaurant prices for every meal, and the onboard kitchen means a proper cooked breakfast is always an option - essential after a big night out.

For larger groups, hiring two or more motorhomes creates a proper convoy atmosphere that adds to the sense of occasion. You can travel together but each vehicle has its own living space, so there is room to spread out when you need to. Campsites with multiple pitches side by side are common, and setting up camp next to each other creates a fantastic shared space for the group.

We do ask that all hirers treat our vehicles with respect, and our standard terms and conditions apply to hen and stag bookings just as they do to any other hire. We take a security deposit that covers any additional cleaning or minor damage, and we expect the motorhome to be returned in a reasonable condition. The vast majority of our group bookings are returned spotless, and we have no issue at all with people having a good time - we just ask that you look after the vehicle while you do.

If you are organising a hen or stag do and want something more memorable than the usual city break formula, a motorhome weekend could be exactly what you are looking for. It combines adventure, freedom, and togetherness in a way that a hotel simply cannot match. Whether the group wants a quiet countryside retreat or a full-on celebration, we can help you plan a weekend that the bride or groom-to-be will never forget.
