If a Nottingham stag do excites you then this post "Rough Guide to a Stag Do in Nottingham" is going to knock your socks off, if Nottingham doesn't excite you, read on, I am pretty sure I can persuade you. If you are looking for cracking stag do packages to Nottingham go here . First of all I have been visiting Nottingham on and off for over a decade now and to-date, I have seen the biggest transformation on this trip (I am still actually here, writing my blog from The Park Plaza bedroom, Park Plaza is one of the hotels DesignaVenture deal with, and by the way, is this the longest sentence inside brackets you have ever read?). I cannot believe how clean the streets look, how many bars and restaurants there are and how cosmopolitan the city looks with the new Tram. Also, one thing Nottingham is really proud of is becoming a Purple Flag owner, which basically means when you're appreciating the fantastic nightlife Nottingham has to offer, you will be able

Whatever your preconceptions of England's second city are, you must to leave them on the M42 and book your stag do to Birmingham . Birmingham has undergone and is still having a massive facelift, with more money spent on it than some countries spend in an entire year.

Whether you're going on a stag do abroad or in the UK there are plenty of destinations you can twin up on your stag do. On my stag do we did Bristol and Newquay, visiting Bristol on the Thursday and then travelling to Newquay on the Friday for 2 nights of pure pleasure, two very different but brilliant experiences. Enough about me, there are other top stag destinations in the UK you can do this in, such as: Cardiff and Bristol  Newcastle and Edinburgh Bournemouth and Brighton Reading and Birmingham Manchester and Liverpool Chester and North Wales Your first night should be a destination on the way down to your main destination, breaking up the journey and having a night out before the big stag weekend starts. You may find only half the group can commit to it, but hey you could make i
