Hi Steve - why not bring your girlfriend to Newcastle upon Tyne? Its well known for its' night life and has lots of clubs, bars and restaurants to suit all ages and budgets. Theres also a variety of city centre hotels and great shopping! Hope you enjoy your weekend wherever you decide to go.

Edinburgh is very lovely!

York's nice. Not too far to travel, loads of pubs and clubs, decent shopping centre and lots of things to look at during the day.

Here's an example of the sort of prices you could expect to pay for accommodation for the weekend of 28th January.

I can vouch for Newcastle.

Luxury or basic.

Mal Maison on the Quayside or Premier Inn, Travelodge on the Quayside.

Night life, shopping, sight seeing, lovely people, You'll love it.

York is great too by the way, but Im a Geordie transplant who now lives nearer to York so I have to
have a couple of nights in Newcastle every now and again.
Enjoy.

Particularly recommend Slug and Lettuce on the Quayside too.

York's lovely, and you can get there easily on the train from Lincolnshire (about an hour from Grantham station I think)

Lots of interesting things to look at, little streets to wander around, etc.

I would prefer Newcastle. It is such a very lovely place.
Wishing you luck.

I was also going to suggest York, but it's more pubby than it is clubby - there are loads of nice real ale pubs in the city but probably only a handful of clubs and most of them aren't that great (with the exception of the indie clubs on Stonebow). If you want a proper 'night out' type place you're probably better off with Newcastle or Leeds if you want to go that area, but Leeds is 40 minutes on the train so in theory you could just hop over there for an evening and then go back to York.
