There is no strict rule and practices can vary. Here are a few considerations:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Tradition and Custom</b></p><p>Traditionally, it's common for the groom not to pay for his own place on a <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do">stag do</a>. The expenses are typically covered by the attendees, who may split the costs among themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Group Decision</b></p><p>The decision on whether the groom pays for his own place often depends on the group dynamic and agreements. Some groups may choose to cover all expenses for the groom, while others might have the groom contribute to a portion or cover specific costs. So..... communicate if you are unsure. Some Best Men decide on behalf of the group or in minor cases pay for the stag themselves.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Communication</b></p><p>Clear communication is crucial. It's advisable for the best man, groom and the members of the stag party to discuss expectations and financial commitments in advance. This helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that everyone is comfortable with the plan.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Budget Considerations</b></p><p>If the groom is willing and able to contribute to some expenses, it can be a considerate gesture. However, if the attendees are adamant about covering all costs, the groom should feel free to enjoy the celebration without worrying about expenses. Let's face it, the wedding is possibly going to cost him an eye watering sum so could probably do without the added costs of a stag do.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0k39gxVcHjIuuXBb_tpg_h1g-kzMltDA3HK7qRwRh8r6Rye4hNtqh8Nu-3Gojf5FuP_Qp71ATMl17PoETHXtC7w59p3Ie5HvDyJOMJr9Pd-Lq-1G_YxjzHlK6W7b22Xn0xCvxqoyFUN6CTLmyf1X3_3C11QU3REw9ROEU6nAUYQUgu-9KcMpDhyphenhyphenHOSuC/s600/Groom%20and%20best%20man.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Black and white image of Groom and best man" border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR0k39gxVcHjIuuXBb_tpg_h1g-kzMltDA3HK7qRwRh8r6Rye4hNtqh8Nu-3Gojf5FuP_Qp71ATMl17PoETHXtC7w59p3Ie5HvDyJOMJr9Pd-Lq-1G_YxjzHlK6W7b22Xn0xCvxqoyFUN6CTLmyf1X3_3C11QU3REw9ROEU6nAUYQUgu-9KcMpDhyphenhyphenHOSuC/w640-h426/Groom%20and%20best%20man.jpg" title="Groom and best man" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><b>Group Dynamics</b></p><p>Consider the financial situations and preferences of the group members.

The reason for this is some group members may not be very reliable and say they are coming and when it comes to parting with their cash they start ghosting you, or giving you excuses like they have to stay at home and look after their chickens.</div><div><br /></div><div>The best way to do it, so you the stag organiser is not out of pocket, is once everyone has financially committed with a deposit, then you can give everyone their price including the shared price of the stag's place.</div><div><br /></div><div>Remember, the stag years* will not last for long, so enjoy them!</div><div><br /></div><div>Have a good one.</div><div><br /></div><div>M</div><div><br /></div><div>*The stag years = when everyone in your friendship group gets married and it seems like you're on a stag weekend for every weekend of your life.</div><div><br /></div><div>Believe me this does not last for long and you will miss it when you're old and grey!</div>DesignaVenturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844336472033806642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723255581669930593.post-45584633612918455142023-05-19T09:58:00.003+01:002023-05-19T09:58:22.276+01:00Stag Do Ideas For The Summer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPk2Ug9yRxp06ALq8k0WX80e49f4xg6txnR-1hhicAKlZumsV5EfdyheHOFQPJCUIH093t8-I0kUQJu9Q8LwDKYRoIV_2mtbZDFLiaH6Y4uKCl5twoeNZAYHyZfGTVjPHJNMQezX8s_vCmwLwKWkmCmz3Ip4N_gzThcPo_gaOVMR5gnqMTS5MFvAqhw/s600/Rage%20Buggies%20Driver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPk2Ug9yRxp06ALq8k0WX80e49f4xg6txnR-1hhicAKlZumsV5EfdyheHOFQPJCUIH093t8-I0kUQJu9Q8LwDKYRoIV_2mtbZDFLiaH6Y4uKCl5twoeNZAYHyZfGTVjPHJNMQezX8s_vCmwLwKWkmCmz3Ip4N_gzThcPo_gaOVMR5gnqMTS5MFvAqhw/w640-h426/Rage%20Buggies%20Driver.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>The summer is the ultimate time to have your stag weekend, you've got the weather, time off and oh it's close to the actual wedding date*, it's traditional to have your stag do before your wedding however tradition these days has gone out the window and some stag weekends are held when the. weather is better.</p><p>*According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) wedding breakdowns by season are:</p><p>Spring: 33.4%</p><p>Summer: 38.6%</p><p>Autumn: 22.7%</p><p>Winter: 5.3%</p><p>So we've put together some summer <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do/activity-ideas">stag do ideas</a> which are available throughout the UK.</p><p>Whether you've booked a city centre hotel or a Air B&B in the country, it's always a great idea to have an event to keep the boys busy, out the pub and giving the groom a memorable event he can post on social media, might be the only time photos are allowed!</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Stag do ideas....</h3><p><b>Rage buggy racing</b> - This is a great way to get your adrenaline pumping and is one of our favourite all time activities. You'll be driving a high-powered off-road buggy around a specially designed track, competing against your mates, what more do you need.</p><p><b>Quad biking - </b>Another off-road adventure, this time on four wheels. You'll be either navigating rough terrain, mud, and puddles while trying to beat your buddies to the finish line, or off road trekking around countryside only quad bikes can get around. </p><p><b>White water rafting</b> - This is a thrilling summer stag do activity, however some stags are brave enough to do it in the winter. You and your mates need to navigate rapids and working together as a team to make it down the river without capsizing.</p><p><b>Beer bike</b> - A unique and lairy way to explore the city while enjoying a cold pint. You'll be peddling your way around while sipping on your favourite beers, luckily a sober hired driver will make sure you don't crash.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTB6Ry1JtXayZ8DW2IJOtpUS7U-1ryaM8wTKorB6NO-rqVm9EPzfmxjPlMq0O2f9QRPnu6gXR5I79aIkOT2qAwV0wKBPC5kk8xbzl3UKyxRKUadE63aWdRcaQfEE_5Zq3X69qnyyOgOXnvHnLNcyLp6P5Ug0W_f7vEiAgZGzE5G24nziNr3soLHaCkg/s900/stag%20do%20ideas%20paintball,%20quads%20&%20rage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="900" height="106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTB6Ry1JtXayZ8DW2IJOtpUS7U-1ryaM8wTKorB6NO-rqVm9EPzfmxjPlMq0O2f9QRPnu6gXR5I79aIkOT2qAwV0wKBPC5kk8xbzl3UKyxRKUadE63aWdRcaQfEE_5Zq3X69qnyyOgOXnvHnLNcyLp6P5Ug0W_f7vEiAgZGzE5G24nziNr3soLHaCkg/w640-h106/stag%20do%20ideas%20paintball,%20quads%20&%20rage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><b>Bubble football</b> - A incredible twist to the classic game, football. You'll be wearing inflatable bubbles and trying to score goals while bouncing around and colliding with your opponents, it's the only time in football where fouling is the name of the game.</p><p><b>Paintballing</b> - This is THE classic stag do activity that never goes out of style. You'll be suited up in protective gear, designed to stop the paint hitting your clothes and armed with paintball guns to do some damage against your opponents. Games have adapted over the years to become more exciting and frantic than ever, so be prepared for the adrenaline.</p><p><b>Indoor / Outdoor go-karting</b> - This is another popular high-speed stag do activity that will have you and your friends racing around a track in high powered electric karts (indoor) or petrol powered engines for massive outdoor tracks. Always popular with the lads whether they're a petrol head or just plain competitive. </p><p><b>Escape room </b>- This is a great activity for those who enjoy problem-solving and puzzling puzzles. You'll be locked in a room and need to work together to solve clues and escape before time runs out, most big stag groups are split up into different rooms, so the competition is to see which group gets out first, that's if they get out!</p><p><b>Axe throwing</b> - A unique activity that involves throwing axes at a target (obviously). Usually Axe throwing wouldn't make the cut but over years it has become popular with stag and hen groups and it's a great way to blow off some steam.</p><p><b>Zip Wire</b> - More and more ziplines are popping up around the country and if you're looking for an incredibly fast thrill, a zip wire should be on your stag weekend itinerary. The best Zip Wire that needs to be mention is in North Wales, up in Snowdonia we have the fastest zip wire in the work and the longest!</p><p>Whatever you get up to this summer....</p><p>Have a good one</p><p>M.</p>DesignaVenturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844336472033806642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723255581669930593.post-33365757076867564702023-05-11T17:54:00.000+01:002023-05-11T17:54:01.203+01:00Bournemouth Stag Heaven or Hell?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpXNHKcKpO8g6A5qby0B6AX5Gmo14jhrVsUW0tzNpoUbrGuOvI1LqDHLuNgmtLhoUU-dtzwOubmuXvSBSpcJnzw-7o-J1f07vAiRcIeiYq29izCF13pnTr-3lKw9fRtZ0V54nd_gz-k-t3R2qNUoaVdlSCcp_HzO8bJoqVJOT7CRNUZsArhauBKZcgQ/s600/Bournemouth%20stag%20heaven%20or%20stag%20hell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpXNHKcKpO8g6A5qby0B6AX5Gmo14jhrVsUW0tzNpoUbrGuOvI1LqDHLuNgmtLhoUU-dtzwOubmuXvSBSpcJnzw-7o-J1f07vAiRcIeiYq29izCF13pnTr-3lKw9fRtZ0V54nd_gz-k-t3R2qNUoaVdlSCcp_HzO8bJoqVJOT7CRNUZsArhauBKZcgQ/w640-h426/Bournemouth%20stag%20heaven%20or%20stag%20hell.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>Well let's gets straight to business, Bournemouth is only stag do hell if you're not on a stag do and you're in your 70s, in our humble opinion and we have been sending stag parties to Bournemouth for 20 years, Bournemouth is definitely stag heaven.</p><p>So that's that question answered, move on there's nothing to see here, well actually there's loads to see here, as you were:</p><p><b>Nightlife</b> </p><p>First of all the the nightlife in Bournemouth is legendary.

So we at DesignaVenture towers have put together an all important top 10 list of best man duties, in chronological order.*<br /><br />* I say chronological order however some tasks will overlap.<p><br /></p><p><b>Planning the stag weekend </b></p><p>Actually if this was the a top 10, planning the stag do would be numero uno. Your groom needs a good send off from the lads and you are head of the lads and your duty is to make sure every moment of his last weekend of freedom count. Don’t leave it to chance, <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do">book your stag do with DesignaVenture</a>, that way your stag do plans will be bullet proof.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Be available to assist with wedding plans</b></p><p>You may be needed to help the groom and bride with their wedding preparations including, organising transportation, hotel reservations, choosing what to wear (Groomsmen) co-ordinating with wedding vendors, even helping out with invitee lists. Don’t hide in the shadows, this is your best mate's wedding and you are a massive cog in this wedding wheel type of thing, I don’t know where I am going with this scenario but I am sure you get the picture.</p><p><br /></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aPGy0kOOjnSJsY5Qy7dT4st6PPwEfrOeyWtWgL2fTXThPEQJIsTDshGrs-rVeK8RTc5o-XLptIlBMIAeLdeW_zuFtjjDNL6pdRnVRwWSNat-6MjCuaWjZmxM2-nFh8lz9d3yicFumNxpX1Q9hMfPS41GHQB4lzCXvaq5oFnvCW0esuBnM2GOaSbyBA/s600/Groomsmen%20at%20a%20fitting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aPGy0kOOjnSJsY5Qy7dT4st6PPwEfrOeyWtWgL2fTXThPEQJIsTDshGrs-rVeK8RTc5o-XLptIlBMIAeLdeW_zuFtjjDNL6pdRnVRwWSNat-6MjCuaWjZmxM2-nFh8lz9d3yicFumNxpX1Q9hMfPS41GHQB4lzCXvaq5oFnvCW0esuBnM2GOaSbyBA/s320/Groomsmen%20at%20a%20fitting.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></div><p><b><b><br /></b></b></p><b>Go to fittings with the groomsmen</b><p></p><p>If it’s a traditional wedding the Groomsmen will all have the same suits, usually only the Groom is different, so you will need to go and see a tailor who will tinker with your measurements and make that suit fit. These types of meetings are usually loads of fun packed full of banter with the pub after.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><b>Ensure the groom looks his best and is on time</b></p><p>Believe it or not, you need to think that on his wedding day you are more like his Mother than his best mate, mopping his brow when needed and making sure the groom looks his very best before stepping foot in the church or the ceremony hall. If he is prone to being late, give him times 30 minutes earlier giving yourself a time cushion.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>The Ring Keeper</b></p><p>Some of your best man jobs are infamous like arranging the stag weekend or the best man speech. Looking after the rings is also up there, so guard them with your life, make sure they are always in your inside pocket of your suit jacket and be ready to surrender them to the celebrant when requested. Don’t do what I did and get them tangled up in headphone wires, well it was the early noughties before bluetooth!</p><p> </p><p><b>Be a witness to the marriage</b></p><p>This is not always the best man’s job but most of the time it is. So put away your crayons it’s time to use the big boy's pen and sign your groom's life away.</p><p> </p><p><b>Escort the bridesmaid off the premises</b></p><p>Now you’ve lost your wingman, you’ll need someone or people to walk back down the aisle to the wedding party.

The origins of these events can be traced back to ancient civilisations where men would gather for a final celebration before one of their own got married.</p><p>In ancient Greece, a pre-wedding celebration was held for the groom-to-be, known as a "symposium". This was a celebration of male bonding, where the groom and his mates would gather for a night of drinking, storytelling and partying.</p><p>In medieval Europe, the "stag night" was a similar gathering of male friends to celebrate the upcoming nuptials. The night would often involve drinking and celebrations, sometimes to the point of debauchery. This tradition continued into the Renaissance period, where wealthy men would host elaborate feasts and events to celebrate the upcoming wedding.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimNaFKjs2JC5_KSdY-6asucyVccOKHHymVKrZAPQdDIjrwKl6gD9VXPafm0vyMwfZcYZRwWLCfgfeMGBvviO9o2gzesWK6gnRCngrMpuCvZbDts_P1pJVukx3TwnfF16gMB2yJTwDlf8mUyPtIT0FKZzsM3lwlOtBmGz94smv6nTa9FauZGCVDgHXAIg/s600/Wealthy%20stag%20do%20in%20renaissance%20times.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wealthy stag do celebrations in renaissance period illustration in black and white" border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimNaFKjs2JC5_KSdY-6asucyVccOKHHymVKrZAPQdDIjrwKl6gD9VXPafm0vyMwfZcYZRwWLCfgfeMGBvviO9o2gzesWK6gnRCngrMpuCvZbDts_P1pJVukx3TwnfF16gMB2yJTwDlf8mUyPtIT0FKZzsM3lwlOtBmGz94smv6nTa9FauZGCVDgHXAIg/w400-h266/Wealthy%20stag%20do%20in%20renaissance%20times.jpg" title="Wealthy stag do celebrations in renaissance period" width="400" /></a></div><p>As time progressed, the concept of the stag do evolved and became more formalised. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, stag parties were typically private, invitation-only events held in the groom's home or at a rented venue. These events were often reserved for close friends and family of the groom and were an opportunity for the men to bond and share a final night of freedom before the groom tied the knot.</p><p>During the 1950s and 1960s, the stag do became more widespread and started to include more people beyond close friends and family. </p><p>In the 1980s and 1990s, stag dos began to take on a more excessive and rowdy tone, with "last hurrah" type events becoming common. This was the era of "stag weekend" trips to locations like <b><a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do/amsterdam/packages">Amsterdam</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do/prague/packages">Prague</a></b> and <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do/budapest/packages"><b>Budapest</b></a>, where large groups of men would travel to engage in excessive drinking and partying. This trend was popularised in movies and television shows, further fuelling the rise of the stag do as a staple of pre-wedding celebrations.</p><p>In recent years, stag dos have become more diverse and inclusive, some couples choose to have joint pre-wedding celebrations, whilst most opt for separate events that allow each partner to celebrate with their own friends and family.</p><p>Today, stag dos come in all shapes and sizes, from the traditional night out with friends to elaborate destination events that can last for several days and nights. Most stag weekend itineraries consist of rowdy, wild nights and outdoor adventures in the day.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvCx_Icfp2Z7m85oGIZQvtYALF2DxyW-0af0T2vg6VBYZeIue4KNV1ZDMkJa0EndjOX-a1_ua88vPmWNH_o7yzGy-mmI-ARK-smSU9Na29WpTvxZ2-P5aEoR11sZkYzw5AnqSt2w_WoM-a2UmaMhXN8IPnbO6UvC4PaMNpRxfdiJqZ_8Vyp4AwarGMg/s600/Rage%20Buggy.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Rage Buggy racing along with a member from a stag party racing it" border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvCx_Icfp2Z7m85oGIZQvtYALF2DxyW-0af0T2vg6VBYZeIue4KNV1ZDMkJa0EndjOX-a1_ua88vPmWNH_o7yzGy-mmI-ARK-smSU9Na29WpTvxZ2-P5aEoR11sZkYzw5AnqSt2w_WoM-a2UmaMhXN8IPnbO6UvC4PaMNpRxfdiJqZ_8Vyp4AwarGMg/w400-h266/Rage%20Buggy.jpg" title="Rage Buggy racing in North Wales" width="400" /></a></div><p>Regardless of how they're celebrated, stag dos have become an integral part of the pre-wedding experience for many men.

It's been a funny old time especially in the travel business:</div><p></p><p></p>Are we allowed to go on holiday? <br />What's the maximum group size I can have on my stag do? <br />Can I go abroad? <br />What happens if I my stag do gets cancelled due to Covid?<br /><p></p><p>These questions and more are actually covered in our news post <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stagdo-news/covid-exit-road-map-3451.php">Covid Exit Road Map</a>. We have also featured the governments road map.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Should I Book A Stag Do Abroad?</h4><p>Last year really confirmed to us how the UK government worked with relation to foreign travel. If the UK government (FCO) states thats it's unsafe to travel to your specific destination, airlines, hotels and travel companies should offer you an alternative date or full refund. Your insurance will also becomes null and void.</p><p>So if you do book somewhere and then you can't go due to governments not allowing travel, you should not lose any money, you will just have the drama of rearranging somewhere in the UK.</p><p>You can just cut the drama for this year and book UK, however it does depend on how badly the stag wants to go abroad.</p><p>I do believe that a lot of countries will follow suit with Cyprus (today's news 05th March 2021) where you'll need some sort of proof to show that you've had the 2 vaccines, a vaccine passport will possibly be on the cards but not yet confirmed.</p><p>When booking with a tour operator or airline, check their online reviews, you can see a history of reviews dating back to last year's lockdown and see how that tour operator faired. </p><p>If they got slated get the hell out of dodge and DON'T book with them, if their reviews look pretty solid, then it's a safe bet booking with them.</p><p><a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk">DesignaVenture</a> faired pretty impressively with not one negative review.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Should I hold off booking the UK, just in case?</h4><p>I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you intend to go. The issue is a lot of people will not be going abroad this year and are booking in the UK which means lots of hotels, self catering and B&B accommodation is filling fast, it's going to be a bun fight to get in anywhere, a bit like July and August last year.</p><p>So if you intend to book a <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stagdo-news/stag-weekends">stag weekend</a> for this year, get it booked and if you can't go due to Covid, providing you have booked through a reputable tour operator you'll get your money back.</p><p>Whatever you do, stay safe...</p><p>Good luck</p><p>M.</p>DesignaVenturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844336472033806642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723255581669930593.post-54101493410831010572021-02-06T08:22:00.003+00:002021-02-06T08:26:50.223+00:00Add Adventure To Your Stag Weekend - Rage Buggies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjoc7693i-Sc6Px4zZc757VWQEmJrcMt03qRSkuXn1p6IusZ4jrfufRRTrOUmh0xHO2JomkPOi3nECV4siD8maC0kJTLiFBQUTfxPgMOrttSHgab4gNZGanCbDwXMJvLF2c9Dfp3o1SzAS/s900/powerful+dirt+buggies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="900" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjoc7693i-Sc6Px4zZc757VWQEmJrcMt03qRSkuXn1p6IusZ4jrfufRRTrOUmh0xHO2JomkPOi3nECV4siD8maC0kJTLiFBQUTfxPgMOrttSHgab4gNZGanCbDwXMJvLF2c9Dfp3o1SzAS/w640-h285/powerful+dirt+buggies.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">If you're thinking about adding adventure to your stag do, then we have an idea which will get the boys onboard and add spice to your stag weekend.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm going to let the following video do all the talking </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='463' height='385' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxOnTnT-GDGTErNFSKqx9Lq_-33cYOaSeZnCL_bdp-kUfwtUx7e4Nv4N7pq6cpA18MfjWnYchkZIo3jxevHHQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p></p><h4 style="text-align: center;"><b>UK Stag Destinations Rage Buggies can be added to your weekend;</b> </h4><p style="text-align: center;">Birmingham, Bournemouth, Brighton, Bristol Cardiff, Cheltenham, Chester, Edinburgh, Gloucester, London, Newcastle, North Wales, Nottingham, Oxford, Reading & Swindon.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do/activities/rage-buggies">Learn more</a></p>DesignaVenturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844336472033806642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723255581669930593.post-74394807081096028322020-12-15T17:06:00.001+00:002020-12-15T17:06:37.140+00:00Stag Do Ideas For The UK 2021<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG4Q3EhzOVW1dfkHCDeQiVs1EqwEoCgsx1ojvBbLT6wlsKiWcd4mo1Q6GuqwGVkHbrRf-yO5CwMFtcerAJrUrn4A8vOiQbJxbahyLK18nJGGTudxpoXeg4MEHtsm8wNkFgO3b-ebJMtqF4/s900/the+stag+do.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG4Q3EhzOVW1dfkHCDeQiVs1EqwEoCgsx1ojvBbLT6wlsKiWcd4mo1Q6GuqwGVkHbrRf-yO5CwMFtcerAJrUrn4A8vOiQbJxbahyLK18nJGGTudxpoXeg4MEHtsm8wNkFgO3b-ebJMtqF4/s16000/the+stag+do.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">We've been cooped up for far too long.

<br />
<br />
We are currently living through historical times people.<br />
<br />
In my lifetime I have never witnessed a lockdown at such unprecedented proportions, not just in the UK, but throughout the world.<br />
<br />
I have been working in the travel industry for over 30 years and I have never seen 90% of the world's flights grounded. Events such as the sad times of 9/11 or the unpronounceable let alone spell-able Icelandic volcano springs to mind, but nothing on this global scale and for this timescale.<br />
<br />
<b>So that leads us on to your wedding.</b><br />
<br />
Well the whole wedding industry ground to a halt, with weddings banned for at least the next three weeks, no one can or will predict when this embargo will be lifted.<br />
<br />
<b>Zoom to the rescue</b><br />
<br />
A small amount of couples are getting married on Zoom*, I am guessing you would need at least 3 different screens.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Clergyman or minister / registrar</li>
<li>Bride and groom</li>
<li>Witnesses</li>
</ul>
<br />
*Other reputable video calling platform are available, however across devices Zoom is pretty good, and the security has been stepped up.<br />
<br />
We have found that lots of bride and grooms have simply rebooked their wedding and their stag and hen weekend for the same date in 2021. So watch out next year is going to be busy!<br />
<br />
Some couples have rejigged their wedding dates for Autumn or even Christmas 2020.<br />
<br />
Once all lockdown measures have been released it's going to be business as usual, so don't think this lockdown is going to be the norm, it isn't. Thrive is what human beings do best and by the end of it, boy will we all need a <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do">stag do</a>!<br />
<br />
<b>So what happens to the lockdown stag party?</b><br />
<br />
Well first and foremost check out our <a href="https://blog.designaventure.co.uk/2020/04/stag-party-ideas-under-lockdown.html">stag do ideas under lockdown</a>, this will help you with what you need and ideas on what you can do.<br />
<br />
Remember, a lockdown quarantined stag do shouldn't replace your actual stag weekend, you'll need some decent social interactivity after all this has blown over.<br />
<br />
Stay safe everyone<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The crazy times we are currently living under can only be described as unprecedented, never seen before and historical. Your children or grandchildren will be opened mouthed when you tell them that you couldn't even go to the pub!<br />
<br />
So if you are in need of a stag do in lockdown here are some cracking ideas. By the way, this shouldn't replace your physical <a href="https://www.designaventure.co.uk/stag-do">stag do</a> because at the end quarantining, you will be in desperate need of some socialising.<br />
<h3>
<b>Stag Do Under Lockdown - How to Prepare</b></h3>
First and foremost you will need video calling software, which will work across lots of different platforms and devices, such as Apple, Android, Windows etc.<br />
<br />
If you are all on Apple I would highly recommend FaceTime for ease of use and quality of calls.<br />
<br />
If your group is on multiple devices then Zoom* is a great option. There are others such as; Houseparty, Discord, Messenger etc.<br />
<br />
There are some time restraints on Zoom if you have the free version on your desktop, so set up the zoom meeting on your mobile, as I then think there is no time restraints.<br />
<br />
<b>So once you have decided on the software, you will need:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>A private dark and lockable room with Wifi / Internet Access</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A portable fridge for your beers or a cool bag with lots of Ice packs to keep your drinks cold </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Beer (optional)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Games (see below)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Entertainment (see below)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>

<h3>
<b>Stag Do Party Games Under Lockdown</b></h3>
There are lots of drinking games you could play whilst under lockdown here are a number of <a href="https://blog.designaventure.co.uk/2013/07/top-10-stag-do-games.html">stag party games</a> we offer which can easily be manipulated to fit the lockdown parameters.<br />
<br />
Games should be visual, funny and above all keep everyone entertained.<br />
<br />
<b>Casino</b><br />
If someone in your stag party has a Roulette Table and doesn't mind being the croupier, jobs a good-un! Bet with real or dummy pennies.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Pub Quiz</b><br />
Make it really themed with questions on the stag.<br />
<br />
Who knows him best? Does the stag know himself better than anyone else?<br />
<br />
The Best man can be the quiz master and everyone else the contestants. You can even mix it up with a drinking game, so if you get a question wrong you have to drink a said amount of drink!<br />
<br />
<b>Bingo</b><br />
You will need some bingo stuff (available on Amazon or Ebay) - the excitement of Bingo is underrated!<br />
<br />
<b>In For A Penny</b><br />
You've hopefully seen the TV show with Stephen Mulhern now play the games. The stop watch game, the price of shopping game but I do feel you need to leave the eating the pasty with no hands for another day, but then again it's very visual.<br />
<h3>
<b>Entertainment</b></h3>
<b>Comedy</b><br />
If you are looking for your very own comedy performance you could always pay for professional comedian to perform. I am sure there are hundreds out there who are dying to perform but just can't!<br />
<br />
There are quite a few website out there that will let you book a comedian, Google it!<br />
<br />
<b>Virtual Striptease</b><br />
Like a painter and decorator, no stag do should be without a stripper.<br />
<br />
I'm sure there are hundreds of out of work lap dancers willing to be paid to do a cheeky performance online.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>TOP TIP:</b> Only use reputable websites or word of mouth businesses. That way you won't get stung. And if anyone asks, it wasn't my idea!<br />
<br />
<b>DJ Set</b><br />
If all you guys love a rave, pay or get an online DJ to perform a set, get out your whistles and reflective jackets, it's the 90s people!<br />
<br />
Good luck with it all and like I said, this should replace your physical stag do, by the end of this lockdown, it's party time!<br />

<h3>
ADVENTUROUS STAG DO IDEAS</h3>
<div>
<b>Coasteering</b></div>
<div>
Without a shadow of a doubt you need balls to do this stag do activity, giant massive Cahoonas! You're exploring the coastline along cliffs, rock pools and caves.<br />
<br />
Traversing rocks faces and jumping into deep pools, get's you from A to B. You can skip some of the bigger jumps, but would you really want to?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>White Water Rafting</b></div>
<div>
Imagine the banter flying around from your stag group in several rafts, shooting down white frothing rivers whilst you all try to keep afloat. You'll be kitted out in wetsuits and buoyancy aids because let's make no bones about this, you're all going in!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Zip Wire</b></div>
<div>
Did you know that North Wales is home to the fastest zip wire in the World, well you do now!<br />
<br />
Reaching speeds of over 100mph this stag do activity is a game changer, an extremely memorable activity for the stag to take into his married life, the stories he'll be telling his kids!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Canyoning</b></div>
<div>
Similar to Coasteering this activity is all about having balls of steel, with the main part of it jumping off high ledges into deep pools. You'll also get chance to explore caves and walk behind waterfalls, don't forget your waterproof camera!<br />
<br />

<h3>
MOTORISED STAG DO IDEAS</h3>
<div>
<b>Quad biking</b></div>
<div>
The most popular motorised activity in the UK for stag parties, quad biking is a brilliant stag do activity.<br />
<br />
Choose incredible treks (not nature trials) where you'll be climbing and descending down very steep hills, rushing through woods and taking on terrain only a fool would consider.<br />
<br />
Quad bike racing is also available, most sites offering epic dirt tracks with jumps, humps, chicanes and straights.</div>

Extremely fast, fantastic acceleration and brilliant around dirt tracks these karts are an exhilarating stag do experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Indoor Karts</b></div>

<h3>
STAG DO IDEAS WITH BALLS</h3>
<div>
<b>Turbo Cricket</b></div>
<div>
Like cricket 20/20 this is speed cricket where luckily umpire, balls, bats and stumps are all provided, all you have to do is turn up and play.<br />
<br />
You'll need a minimum group size of 10, but you're on a stag do, so this will be easy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Bubble Football</b></div>
<div>
The best game of football you can play on a stag weekend, it's like this activity has been created with stag dos in mind.<br />
<br />
Wrap yourself in a bubble suit and get on the pitch where the only plan is to foul your opponent! All equipment, balls and referee is included, the winning team will also win a bottle of bubbly!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Footgolf</b></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Shock Football</b></div>

Football for the Sadistics. Once you get the ball can you withstand the electric shocks and get that ball in the back of the net or will you hit the floor like a sack of spuds?<br />
