Image
Following on from my themed stag do destination ideas, I have decided to chuck a curve ball and take a look at Reading. Why do you need to go to Reading on your stag weekend? Well, OK, it isn't the most popular of stag destinations, it isn't up there with Vegas and Edinburgh, however Reading is a fantastic stag do destination and it totally deserves a mention, and I feel it's my duty to let you know about this little gem. Just to let you know, DesignaVenture's Reading stag do packages are extremely great value for money and include 4 star hotels right in the centre. OK, let's get down to business...

Umm Nottingham, isn't that where Robin Hood lives like? Oh c-mon, if that's the only thing you can think of when someone mentions Nottingham you've never been there on a night out, let a lone a stag weekend. In my mind, Nottingham is one of the friendliest places in the UK, it's also the perfect stag do destination for it's perfect geographical position, which is by the way slap bang wallop in the middle of the UK, making it the ideal meeting point if you have a group of mates spread all over the Britain. I am not going to bore you with Nottingham's excellent rail and bus links, plus it's right next to East Midlands airport and just off the M1 and near the M6 - however, I just did without you noticing.

The 7 P's Proper Planning & Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance So start planning your stag do early, a year in advance is an ideal time to start, if possible. The List The stag will know exactly who wants he wants to attend his stag do, you may even ask him if Dave's friend from work can come, so keep your list fluid and be prepared for numpties (see Dealing With Pub Talkers below).

Bubble football is a fantastic stag do activity, why? It will keep the boys together, it's more of a team competition rather than an individual experience like a lot of stag activities are.
