An alternative afternoon tea!

This November, No.1, York is launching an Afternoon Sea - a quirky take on the traditional afternoon tea experience, but with seafood and rose wine! Running on Saturday 12th November, No.1, York will be serving fresh seafood (think oysters, smoked salmon scones, tempura prawns and garlicky scallops) alongside a bottomless supply of ice-cold rosé. And only for £35 per person. What a delicious treat for hens, newlyweds or the parents of the bride or groom!

York is one of the great British weekend-break destinations (there are many reasons why it was named UK's best city for a domestic holiday this year by Which? readers) and there's no better place to stay than at No.1, YORK, the city's creative townhouse hotel from 'Guest brothers' Tristan, James and Tom. On a mission to develop a new generation of boutique hotels across the UK, the brothers cherry-pick iconic buildings in the heart of the cities and reimagine them on the inside to create a sense of wonder for hotel guests and local community alike. Think imaginative interiors by British designers, respecting the heritage of their iconic buildings but, when guests walk through the doors, they'll enter a colourful and wonder-filled world full of heart and soul. The engaging staff, imaginative design details, surprising finds, and curious collections within the hotels will match the uniqueness of the cities outside.

Why intimate weddings might be becoming the celebration of choice in 2026

Intimate weddings are becoming increasingly popular at The Milner York in York, as modern couples move away from large traditional guest lists in favour of smaller, more personal celebrations. Wedding coordinator Imogen D'Cruz highlights a growing demand for private dining receptions, bespoke ceremonies and extended wedding weekends that allow couples and guests more meaningful time together. Couples are prioritising quality experiences, from tailored menus and personalised décor to multi-day stays that include welcome dinners and post-wedding brunches. While budgets are being reallocated rather than reduced, the focus is on creating memorable moments with close family and friends. This shift reflects a broader 2026 wedding trend towards flexibility, authenticity and relaxed, experience-led celebrations.

RSVPing 'YES' to multiple weddings? Here's how to budget!

Attending weddings can be a joyous occasion, but it can also be expensive, particularly if you're invited to more than one over the course of the year. Costs such as new outfits, travel and accommodation, and gifts mean the overall expense of attending can quickly add up. Duncan Fortune, Head of Commercial at Tesco Bank, says: "Wedding season can be a significant expense for households. Planning ahead and setting a dedicated budget for celebrations can help spread the cost over several months, allowing people to make the most of the celebrations while keeping their finances on track."
