Stag Do Destination Guide: Bristol



If you've picked Bristol as the destination for your stag do then you need to give yourself a pat on the back my friend, as you've done extremely well.

Bristol is a brilliant stag do destination with incredible daytime activities and nightlife so good... you'll consider moving here with your family and taking residents. But first, let's see some very uninteresting facts:

 Pointless Uninteresting (but secretly interesting) Facts About Bristol
  • Average Temperature: June 19ºC | July 22ºC | August 21ºC
  • Rainfall: 870mm per year
  • Population: 670,934 (est.)
  • Fact For Adventure: The Clifton Suspension bridge in 1979 was the first place in the world to witness someone Bungee Jumping, courtesy of the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club.  
  • Pirate fact: Bristol was home to the most famous pirate, Blackbeard AKA Edward Teach.
  • Hot Air: Bristol is the world's biggest manufacturers of hot air balloons and there's a Hot Air Balloon Festival every August.
  • Home To A World Famous Artist: Banksy is from Bristol, however... is he? Well he is anonymous!

Bristol Bleeds Coolness & Chocolate

 Well apart from the coolest artist in the world coming from Bristol (I think), liquid chocolate was also invented in Bristol by Joseph Fry.

In the past Bristol was chosen as a stag do destination because the groom was once at Bristol university, now you don't need that or reason excuse to come here on a stag weekend as it's stands up by itself and is a well worthy Top UK stag destination.

By day it has a fantastic vibe centred around it's young cafe culture, head to the harbour-side for restaurants, bars and cafes where you can sit outside and take in the urban waterside scenery. 

Alternatively explore the old part of Bristol city centre for lively sports bars, pubs, cheap eateries and cool restaurants.

Activities

However one thing Bristol does extremely well is it's depth of daytime activities, from shooting .22 Assault Rifles, racing Rage Buggies and thrashing about on Quad Bikes to taking your stag party on an It's A Knockout, Wipe Out or West Country Games event, there's also Turbo Cricket, Escape Rooms, more Bubble Football venues then you can shake a stick at, plus you have the usual suspects such as Paintball and Indoor Karting, the DesignaVenture website has tons more stag activities and ideas in Bristol.



Other daytime activities / things to do include; Afternoon Boat Cruise With Pub Tour, cocktail making or beer / cider tasting.

Nightlife

After the sun goes down Bristol turns into an legendary stag playground with more pubs and bars then you can possible imagine plus some fantastic clubs including SWX for the clubbers, Popworld for the nostalgic and Pryzm for the booths, drinks packages and choice of dance floors. Late night antics might include a trip to a lap dancing club and luckily there are two relatively close together giving you the option of a lap dancing crawl.



Where To Stay

 Bristol has loads of city centre hotels which are high quality and cost half the price as similar hotels in London.

Last count there was 2 x Marriotts, 3 Hiltons, 2 Holiday Inns, 2 Premier Inns, umpteen Travelodges and loads of other hotels all showing good prices over weekends perfect for your stag do.

In my mind with less traffic and loads to do no wonder Bristol is much more popular for stag weekends than London.

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. 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

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

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.
