Best ways to celebrate Galentine’s Day in Yorkshire 2026

With the month of love upon us, the 13th of February 2026 marks Galentine’s Day and the perfect excuse for a much-needed catch-up and get-together with your closest friends.

This year, Galentine’s falls on a Friday, which sounds like the perfect excuse for a girls’ night!

What is Galentine’s Day?

While you’ve heard of Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day (marked as February 13th) celebrates the best of female friendships.

Most of all, it’s the perfect opportunity to get your friends together for a catch-up – in our case, over delicious food, a few cocktails or even a spa day!

Whether it’s a morning brunch meet-up, drinks that end up going right into the night, or a wholesome crafty activity, here’s our ultimate list of Galentine’s day ideas for the occasion.

Galentine’s Day Brunch

Who doesn’t love brunch? A relaxed morning spent catching up with your closest, over a delicious breakfast and coffee. A more casual get-together, over great coffee and breakfast – perfect if you can only spare a few hours on Friday morning.

Of course, going for bottomless brunch is an option if you wish to step up the game, with mains and unlimited spritzes, handcrafted cocktails and prosecco.

Here are our current brunching deals for the occasion!

Chatty walks and a pub lunch

It’s always nice to get out and about, and with the Yorkshire Dales, Coast and Peak District, there’s no shortage of scenic countryside walks.

Whether it’s a coastal walk in Robin Hood Bay, through the quaint town of Staithes or a scenic explore at Ingleton Waterfalls – it’s a lovely Galentine’s weekend well spent.
