Stag Do Destination Guide: Nottingham



Nottingham has always been a top destination for stag weekends, from the 1990s until now, if you haven't had a stag do in Nottingham then it's time you got your merrymen together and get yourselves to one of the friendliest cities in the UK.

Pure Crazy Facts About Nottingham

  • Average Temperature: June 19c | July 22c | August 21c
  • Rainfall: 648mm per year
  • Population: 289,301

  • Hangover: Boots The Chemist originated from Nottingham 
  • Translation: "Allraa me duck" means; how are you?

OK, OK, enough of the facts, so why should you have a stag do in Nottingham?

Let's start with a few geographical facts...

Oh no, not more bloody facts!! 

Hold on to your trousers me duck, this is important, Nottingham is situated pretty much right in the middle of the UK, so if you have a stag party scattered across the four corners of the UK, then Nottingham could be the best meeting point.

Nottingham also has a huge University so there's a chance the stag will want to go back to his old stomping ground.

That's all great that it geographically hits the spot but what about having a stag do in Nottingham, is it any good?

I was just getting to that!

Nottingham's Nightlife


Nottingham has brilliant nightlife and one night is not enough, so if you can, book a weekend. 

Eating is definitely not cheating especially if you go to the only Hooters in the UK, lovely ladies bringing you incredible food whilst watching sport, it's a dream come true, is it not?



Alternatively, Nottingham has some of the best Indian restaurants in the UK catering for everyone's budgets, from Balti houses to top notch Indian restaurants including Masala Junction, Calcutta Club and the brilliant Cumin Restaurant (I've eaten there and it's incredible).

There are far too many bars to mention and Nottingham has some pretty amazing clubs, the biggest and best for stag dos is Pryzm which used to be called Oceana, and before that The Palais.

If you prefer to see a little bit of flesh, Nottingham has one lap dancing club aptly called Flirtz, which is located in the centre and not on the outskirts, like all the lap dancing clubs were in the 90s!

You can book Hooters, Cumin Restaurant, bar tours, lap dancing and club entries all on the DesignaVenture website.

Keep The Boys Busy - Daytime Activities


Nottingham has some of the best stag activity sites in the UK, whether you're after racing Rage Buggies, shooting clays into a billion pieces,  playing at one the of the best Paintball sites in the UK (Sherwood Forest) or white water rafting (man-made) Nottingham has it all.

You also don't have to travel too far out of the city centre unlike some other stag do destinations, I think 40 minutes is one of the furthest you'll need to drive. DesignaVentrue also deal with some of the cheapest transport companies in the UK so if you don't fancy driving, getting ferried around won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Don't forget Nottingham is home to the Real "It's a knockout" gear, so you could be wearing what the celebrities, royals and punters wore when they took part in this historic activity.

There are also horse racing and greyhound racing tracks in the same facility, which is situated just 3 miles from the centre of town, perfect for the stag group who think they have form and like the spills and thrills of betting.

Accommodation



From standard hotels to 4 star luxury city centre pads, Nottingham has lots of hotels which are happy to take stag parties. No matter what type of budget you're on, I am pretty sure you'll find what you're looking for.

In my mind if you're looking for an epic stag do destination in the UK, Nottingham will not let you down, I should know I've been countless times.

Good luck

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.

Top 10 Stag Do Rules

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

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.

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….

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
