Top UK Stag Destinations For 2014

January is a busy month for DesignaVenture, not only do we get loads of stag do enquiries our stags are booking like mad for 2014.

So where in the UK are our stags looking to party?

Well my faithful friends let me tell you, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Nottingham, Newquay and Bristol are taking the majority of our hits, and our stags are booking anything from racing rage buggies, to actually going to the races!

Other destinations such as Edinburgh, Birmingham, Chester and Manchester have also seen a huge increase in enquiries and sales.

Take Chester for instance, why are stags booking their weekends and nights here?

Good question, and one I am about to answer, Chester is literally 45 minutes drive from loads of brilliant activities (mainly based in North Wales), activities such as white water rafting, hovercraft racing, rage buggy racing, canyoning, clay pigeon shooting the list is endless.

And by night, Chester is sophisticated, bars and clubs are lively but not outrageous which may suits some of our stag parties but will not suit others.

There's an important point to be made here, in many large cities like Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester and Edinburgh you will have the choice to either go to the crazy clubs or hang out in quieter bars and clubs, so these destinations you should consider when booking a large or mixed stag do.

So you can, go crazy Friday night and sit down and chill Saturday night, pleasing everyone!

 If you are looking for a stag destination by the sea - to give you that seaside stag experience (whatever that is!) then Bournemouth and Newquay should be top of your list.

Let's start with Newquay

Over the years Newquay has transformed into a really lively town, and when the sun is shinning you could be anywhere in Southern Europe.

Nestled on two amazing beaches, Newquay has some of the best surfing in the world (that is no exaggeration), with the constant North Atlantic rollers, everyday is a surfer's paradise. Surfing is a fantastic stag do activity and will bond the boys together 'like no nails'.

You also have other incredible stag do activities which can make your stag do unique including; coasteering, the extremely funny Cornish Challenge, Deep Sea Fishing and Jet Skiing.

Bournemouth

 With it's own weather system, Bournemouth boasts more sunshine then anywhere else in the UK. With 8 miles of white sandy beaches you have a great place to hang out when the sun is shinning.

However, you won't be doing much hanging out in the day if you take advantage of some of the great activities on offer.

It's a knockout, Quad Bike Mega Treks, Rifle Shooting, Rage Buggy Racing - Bournemouth is a real boys toys destination.

At night the clubs and bars are banging, head to Old Christchurch Road for the liveliest bars and clubs in town or take a short walk to Boscombe or grab a cab to Poole for a different scene.

The UK has masses of destinations that would suit your stag party, whether you are looking for a lively weekend, a weekend of relaxation or a bit of both, I am sure that this Island will deliver.

You can find loads of stag do ideas and destination on the DesignaVenture website.

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

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

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.
