Birmingham, Why?


You may be wandering where to book your stag do in 2014, you fancy the UK, but where?

Well, my blogger friends let me enlighten you and take you on a little stag trip to Birmingham.

Birmingham is one of the easiest UK stag destinations to get to, outside of London that is, and talking about London, from the big smog it's only 1 hour and 24 minutes on the Virgin Fast Train.

There are hundreds of hotels all within easy walking distance of the station and more importantly, walking distance from most of the nightlife, which is typically situated around Broad Street.

The nightlife in Birmingham is nothing short of spectacular, loads of lively bars and pubs, fantastic comedy clubs, nightclubs to suit all tastes and ages and whether you are after fast chicken or an authentic Balti, Birmingham will cater and cater some more.

By day you don't have to drink, on the contrary, around Birmingham you have some crazy activity sites offering anything from the current favourite of the Zombie experiences* to racing hugely fast buggies**, clay pigeon shooting, crossbows and even poker lessons.

*The Zombie experience is like no other, you are geared up with pump action guns with only your wits and fellow stag do members for protection. Get rid of the Zombies, which are trawling this underground bunker you have abandoned in, OUCH!

**Now in most locations, Rage Buggies or similar, you can only race 2 to 3 karts max on the track at only time, not in Birmingham, there is a track where you can actually race 6 of these beasts at the same time!

There is a full spectrum of hotel choices all in the city centre from luxurious 4 star hotels to a place to rest your warn out partied soul.

With regards to availability, most weekends currently look good, however watch out for weekends when Birmingham hosts various events such as The Clothes Show Live and Top Gear at the NEC and when big bands and artists play at the NIA.

Over the years, the Birmingham city centre has had a massive amount of investment making it one of the most desirable cities to weekend trip in.

DesignaVenture offer loads of fantastic stag dos in Birmingham from as little as £55 per person.

Stag Do Traditions

Image
In the UK a stag do is a tradition, a time when a man calls for all his best mates and friends to get together and celebrate his single life before he gets married. In France they call it " enterrement de vie de garçon" which basically translates to "burial of the life as a boy or bachelor". Back to the UK, usually the 'stag or groom to be', nominates one, two or even three best men who will then take on the task of organising the stag. They will not only organise the it but also arrange what's going to happen on the stag, The Traditions. People think that traditions are hundreds of years old, but in my mind a tradition is something which has passed on from stag to stag. What are these traditions I hear you ask? I'm just getting to that... The Right To Humiliate The Stag Humiliating the stag is a good one to start with, these humiliation rituals are done on different levels of the embarrassment spectrum. The worst I saw was when

Top 10 Stag Do Rules

Image
Stag do rules whether they're funny or serious are part and parcel of a well planned stag do, and we are about to rummage through the depths of another top 10. There are quite a few unwritten rules, which I have written down? To be honest, it wouldn't be much of a top 10 without some stag do etiquette (unwritten rules). By the way if you are lost and are looking for some brilliant stag do games, go here . Rule Number 1 - What Goes On Tour, Stays On Tour This is one of the mentioned unwritten rules, it either makes the stag do sound: Mysteriously amazing Something has happened and no one wants to talk about it  No one can remember However whatever the reason, it's the most important rule to abide by. Rule Number 2 - Don't Leave Your Man Behind Enemy Lines In other words do not leave a member of the stag party asleep in a club, leaving him to get nudged by the bouncer leaving him to traverse his own way back to the hotel. You can also apply this ru

Top 10 Stag Do Movies Of All Time

Image
Stag Do movies are really on the up, over the years this fantastic life experience (your stag do / bachelor party) has also become a must see movie. Here at the DesignaVenture towers we have raided our DVD collections and VHS tapes and watched as many stag do themed films as possible to rate them in our very own special Top 10 stag do movie compilation. So which stag do movies have received the DesignaVenture Movie Gongs: At 10…. Bachelor Party Vegas  (2006 - IMDb rating 4.7/10) Possibly the start of the modern stag do comedy movie where the stars pack their bags and head to Vegas for a weekend to remember, or forget! This funny film also includes lots of naked ladies and even Paintball guns, how very apt. At 9…. Stag Night (2008 - IMDb rating 4.9/10) This is definitely not light hearted or a comedy in any way, a stag party takes the New York underground and gets off at the wrong haunted station, "STAY ON THE TRAIN!". A thriller which will put you off hav

Top 10 Stag Do Games

Image
Stag Do Games are a must on a stag do, not only will it create a togetherness amoungst the group, it will also be fricking funny. Just a word of warning , we do not condone masses amounts of drinking that these games promote, this article is just a service we provide for people that would like to know about stag do games, which obviously includes a little tipple or two. Chicken Run This game is brilliant and includes dressing the stag up as a chicken. SO, dress the stag up in a chicken outfit then, everyone sticks £10 into a kitty and gives it to the stag. The stag dressed up as a chicken has as long as it takes for everyone to buy a drink and finish it to find a bar and drink the kitty dry - just imagine, a bloke sat in a bar, dressed up as a chicken, drinking alone, hilarious! The group splits up into teams of 2 - 3, the first teams to find the stag/chicken get to drink from the kitty. The game is over once the kitty is dry or all the teams have fo

Liven up your stag night with a theme or game, and there's no better stag do game than pub golf. So here at the DesignaVenture Towers we have been listening to our stag parties and recently we have been asked for the rules to the stag do game Pub Golf . So like the pleasing company we are, here are the rules to this brilliant game that doesn't come with frustration and certainly doesn't ruin a good pub crawl. Pub Golf Rules Rule #1 - Dress Code Everyone MUST dress up like a pro golfer. Socks with a tartan or Argyle pattern if you please, brightly coloured golfing trousers (the more pastel the better), a matching shirt or polo shirt and a sun-visor. Golf shoes are not compulsory but are a great addition. Rule #2 - Pick Your Course Wisely At your chosen stag weekend destination you're going to need a pub crawl route. 9 pubs / bars in fairly close proximity of each other, to add to the theme try and pick sports bars or pubs or a pub/bar with a r
