Whether the wedding is on Valentine's Day, in March or the Groom wants to get his stag do sorted early, February is the month when the stag do season really starts to kick off.

Whether you're looking for a stag do in the UK or want to get away abroad, below I have put together some facts and lots of ideas to give you inspiration, as February will soon come around.

Weather + Flight Time Facts

There are a couple of weather and flight facts to consider before booking your stag do, this section is more factual than a fact sheet from the German Government - no fake news here people:

Ouch! Flight facts man, you can't beat them.

Right that's the facts out the way, below are stag do ideas to get you more tingly than a raver covered in Vicks!

ACTIVITIES GALORE

If you're looking for an adventurous activity based stag do, in my mind you cannot beat the UK.

These days the UK is really geared up for adventure from the fastest Zip Line in the world (Snowdonia) to some of the best quad biking treks you'll ever get try The Mega Trek in Bournemouth or the Super Trek in Shropshire / North Wales Borders for an incredible quad biking experience.

If the weather is an issue go indoors and race karts, play paintball, escape from a room (Escape Room) or taste some fine ales or ciders, whiskey or even make your own pizza, there are loads of indoor activities available.

In my mind of you're looking for a stag do full of activities the UK is your best bet, the more money you save on travel (flights) the more money you can spend on adrenalin based adventure, oh and nightlife.

SUNSHINE

If you are looking for sunshine then you really are going to have to travel more than 4 hours, even though Benidorm looks sunny with 7 hours of sunshine the average temperature is just 14c, one thing you can say about Benidorm in February is it's lively with OAP's, so if you're into Bingo, Bowls, walks along the beach and GILF, Benidorm's an ideal choice!

In my mind, Tenerife is possibly your best bet for sunshine and nightlife unless you go further afield such as Dubai, Las Vegas or Thailand. Tenerife is just 4.30hrs on a flight and as it's just off the African coast, boasting brilliant weather all year round. I would also say that Playa de las Americas will be the liveliest resort in February.

SNOW



In February, the whole of the popular European Mountain ranges will be packed out with skiers and snowboarders.

5 very lively European resorts for Après Ski:

  • St Anton, Austria
  • Sauze d"Oulx, Italy
  • Mayrhofen, Austria
  • Val d'Isere, France
  • Meribel, France

If you prefer the ski-ing or snowboarding to be an experience rather than the whole stag do why not consider a trip to an Indoor ski dome such the one in Milton Keynes, Manchester or the largest in Europe, Amsterdam.

Riga is a popular stag weekend destination for fantastic winter sports especially if you like speed and adrenaline; fly down an Olympic Ice Track in a four man bobsleigh, reaching rocket speeds and possibly giving the stag an experience of a lifetime! Alternatively, zip through a winter wilderness on a snowmobile, they are incredibly fast and so much fun to drive.

WATER

You wouldn't necessarily think watersports in February  however if you are in sunny Tenerife where the daytime temperatures can reach the mid twenties a trip to the brilliant Water park is a must. It'll keep the boys buzzing to the bars in the evening.

If you are feeling brave and don't mind the cold water then the UK offers some fantastic water sports in February, activities include; white water rafting, coasteering and canyoning.

We do actually send quite a few stag parties on UK water sport activities in February, obviously you'll get wet suits so what's the issue!

NIGHTLIFE



I have touched on ski resorts with epic Après Ski and Tenerife being your best bet for a lively sunshine resort in February, what about the UK I hear you ask, well I am telepathic, or a plonker, one of the two!

Well you are always guaranteed a lively night in the big UK cities like Newcastle, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Bristol, London, Manchester or Liverpool.

Other destinations which are lively and loads of fun in February are Sheffield, Reading and Bournemouth.

Whatever you do, life's short, so enjoy!

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

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

Image
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

Liven up your stag night with a theme or game, and there's no better stag do game than pub golf. So here at the DesignaVenture Towers we have been listening to our stag parties and recently we have been asked for the rules to the stag do game Pub Golf . 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. Rule #2 - Pick Your Course Wisely At your chosen stag weekend destination you're going to need a pub crawl route. 9 pubs / bars in fairly close proximity of each other, to add to the theme try and pick sports bars or pubs or a pub/bar with a r
