Stag Do Ideas For Over 50s


The archetypal stag do; weekends fuelled with booze, madness and partying, however not every stag weekend is built the same.

We're not portraying that the over 50s stag groups will turn their noses up to the above frivolities, on the contrary, you may find that this will be 'just the ticket' (why the hell do I sound like Jacob Rees-Mogg!). What we are saying is that popular demand points towards the more sophisticated mature stag do with fantastic activities and ideas on brilliant destinations perfect for the older stag group.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

First and foremost a stag destination must be chosen, in my mind anywhere that isn't full of kids, so that's Newquay or Magaluf off the list.

UK city destinations such as Bristol, Reading Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle or Reading, mainly anywhere that isn't Newquay!

These cities will have great restaurants, excellent bar options and if the stag do goes that way, lap dancing clubs and nightclubs.

Cities abroad include fantastic destinations such as Prague, Budapest, Barcelona, Berlin, Hamburg and Krakow (to name just a few). These stag do destinations abroad include brilliant unique stag do ideas, activities and nightlife which are so good, you'll need a fortnight to get over it.

KEEP ACTIVE



This isn't a lifestyle change, stag do ideas for the over 50s must always include competitive dangerous activities, activities which will get the ticker pumping, the blood rushing and to prove to all the young whipper snappers that they may have age on their side but can they bark with the real dogs?

At DesignaVenture we find the older stag parties like to book activities such as Rage Buggy racing, Quad Biking, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Indoor Go-Karting, Axe Throwing, .22 Assault Rifle Shooting etc.

Other fantastic activities that the older gent likes to book include Footgolf, Whiskey Tasting, Brewery and Distillery Tours or our ever popular stag do horse racing weekends, which include 4* hotels, transport and race day tickets and packages.

PERFECT NIGHTS



A good restaurant is always a great idea, so make sure you have that chosen restaurant pre-booked - don't turn up on a Saturday night expecting to get your group of 12 in somewhere decent, otherwise it'll be the local Doner Kebab House for you my friends, which might be just right!

If the stag likes a flutter; a night at the dogs (Greyhound Racing) is always a good shout or a trip to the local casino, alternatively, booth hire at a good nightclub so you've got somewhere to Lord It, or for entertainment value a trip to a Comedy Club is always a winner.

OUR CHOSEN OVER 50s STAG DESTINATIONS

We feel Reading is the number one UK stag destination for the the mature stag party, with fantastic activity ideas including Ascot or Newbury Races, Rage Buggies, Quad Biking, Hovercrafts etc. and then at night you have comedy club and bars and clubs where you won't feel like Daddy has come to check up on the young ones!

Abroad I think you cannot go wrong with your stag weekend in Prague, excellent nightlife and activity ideas along with an incredible liberal city where you can relax and let your hair down, that's if you have any.

Whatever you get up to, 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

Image
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
