York Christmas Escape with We Got You Boo

Friday

Arrive, Exhale & Let the Festive Magic Begin

Check in from 4:30pm and feel the real world melt away as you wind up the drive to your private luxury barn retreat. With the scent of pine in the air and fairy lights flickering, it’s time to settle in, explore your new home for the weekend, and soak up the cosy charm.

As evening rolls in, we’ll gather in the heart of the retreat, a twinkling barn glowing with festive warmth for a hearty welcome feast prepared by our private chef. Then it’s time to stir up some magic with our very own mixologist, guiding you through a festive cocktail and mocktail masterclass. Christmas music, new friends, and all the holiday feels.

The perfect first night to exhale, unwind, and ease into a weekend of pure festive joy.

Saturday

Slow Mornings to York Christmas Market Magic

Wake up in your cosy countryside cottage, wrapped in warmth and still glowing from the night before. A full English breakfast prepared by our private chefs will be waiting- because every magical day starts with good food and hot coffee. This morning, we invite you to gather for our We Got You Boo Christmas Book Swap-a cosy moment to share your favourite reads and leave with a new story to enjoy over the festive season.

Spend your morning your way: chatting over a cuppa with new friends, taking a gentle stroll through frosty fields, or curling up with a book or festive film. Then, late morning, we’ll whisk you away to the heart of York for an unforgettable afternoon.

Wander through cobbled streets lined with glowing lanterns and shopfronts dressed for the season. Get lost in the world-famous Christmas Markets, sip hot chocolate, browse artisan stalls, and soak in the twinkle and magic around every corner. Lunch is yours to enjoy at one of York’s renowned foodie spots, take it slow and savour the day.

It’s the kind of Christmas day you’ve always dreamed of, magical, merry, and made just for you.

Saturday Night: The We Got You Boo Christmas Dinner Party- Sparkles, Feasting & Festive Vibes 🎄

After a magical day exploring York, we’ll return to the retreat for some well-earned downtime, think hot showers, fluffy robes, and a little pampering before the night ahead.

Tonight, it’s time to dial up the sparkle for our We Got You Boo Christmas Party Night. Slip into something festive and join us in the fairy-lit barn for a decadent three course Christmas feast and a night full of laughter, dancing, and unforgettable memories.

The fire’s glowing, the vibes are high, and the only thing left to do is celebrate

Sunday

Cosy Mornings & Invigorating Pilates

Ease into your Sunday with a cosy continental breakfast box delivered straight to your door. Whether you enjoy it in bed, curled up on the sofa, or over coffee and catch-ups with the boos, it’s the perfect start to a slow and nourishing morning. Then, roll out your mat and join us for an energising Pilates class to get your body moving and your energy flowing. You’ll be feeling strong, refreshed, and ready for the day ahead.

Fresh Air, Sweet Treats & Deep Relaxation

In the early afternoon, wrap up and join us for a gentle stroll through the stunning Yorkshire countryside. Breathe in the crisp, fresh air as you wander peaceful trails, then settle in at a charming local café for warming drinks, delicious sandwiches, and indulgent cakes.

Back at the retreat, slip into your comfiest layers and prepare to unwind completely with a restorative sound bath and reflective journaling session. It’s the perfect way to finish the year on a peaceful, positive note- relaxed, refreshed, and ready to embrace the festive season and New Year with a renewed spirit.

Sharing Plates & Playing Games- The Perfect Night In

On our final night, we gather for a hearty feast of feel good food, amazing company, and plenty of laughs as we reflect on the weekend. After dinner, it’s time to bring out the nostalgic Christmas games. Whether you’re a charades champ or a Monopoly master (or both), expect plenty of fun and friendly competition.

Later, you can choose to unwind however you like-maybe cozy up by the fire with a Christmas film and a hot chocolate, or simply soak in the quiet before enjoying another night’s restful sleep.
