Top Gear Stag Do To North Wales

April 26th, 2013

The Melton Times has reported about a Stag Do to North Wales where the guys set themselves a top gear challenge before arriving at their rented in barn in North Wales.

They split up into teams and waited for their first part of the challenge….

The challenge was to buy a banger (an old car, not a sausage), with tax and MOT for less than £400.

Points were deducted for spending more or gained for spending less.

The teams then had to transform their beaten up cars into something with style, one team chose the Back to The Future DeLorean.

Others chose a Jurassic Park style jeep and the other team made a Limo out of a funeral car!

They then drove from Derby to North Wales with various challenges on the way.

What a fantastic Stag do idea, loads of fun and totally unique.

William and Harry On A Very Stately Stag Do

April 16th, 2013

According to an article on the Daily Beast website, Prince William and Prince Harry joined friends to celebrate Tom Van Straubenzee’s stag do in a pub in Hedley on the Hill.

With not a stripper or Flaming Sambuca in sight the Royal brothers and their friends all bought rounds of drinks at the bar and had a meal in a very quiet celebration for their mate Tom, who is due to marry Lady Melissa Percy later on this year.

Tom Van Straubenzee is one of Harry’s oldest friends and Lady Melissa is the daughter of the Duke of Northumberland, whose house was used as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies.

Tom was also an usher at last year’s Royal Wedding and Lady Melissa is friends with Pippa Middleton, so lets just say they have friends in high places.

So, back to the stag do then. Well there is really nothing really to report, they sat and had a meal, bought drinks at the bar and chatted. The chef at the Feather’s Inn in Hedley on the Hill tweeted that he had just finished making tea for William and Harry and they were both lovely boys!!

So we will be back with more stag and hen party news as it happens, or in this case doesn’t happen.

Bristol is Flying High

March 19th, 2013

If you are looking at booking a Stag do in Bristol this year, you will not be disappointed.

Bristol is becoming a top stag weekend location; loads of stag parties are celebrating their last few days of single life in this West Country carrot crunching capital.

So let’s see why this is the case.

First of all, it’s an easy city to get to, whether you are travelling by train, plane or automobile you will have no dramas.

Then you have some amazing daytime activities.

If you are on a stag do you have all the top stag activities any self respecting stag party will want to do.

You can drive extremely fast rebel and rage buggy off road karts, race head to head on quad bikes or indoor karts or fly some hovercrafts around a challenging course.

OR, if you prefer a shooting activity, Bristol also you will also be catered for which include clay pigeon shooting, paintball and crossbows, which is regaining popularity and you will see why when you shoot a bulls eye.

The nightlife in Bristol is also extremely varied and should cover almost every group’s tastes.

If you’re a fan of big chain pubs, bars and restaurants you will find these in abundance. The waterside is a great place to hang with a fantastic atmosphere and in the summer outside seating areas over looking the busy waterways.

If you want a quieter night, head to Clifton for great student style pubs or independent bars and restaurants. Then you have Cabot Circus, which has loads of restaurants from Burgers and Grills to Asian modern style eateries.

All our bristol stag do packages include 4 star hotels with full breakfast each morning, how cool is that?

One stag told me “Bristol has everything London has except the traffic, now that’s a recommendation if ever I heard one!”

Activity Break Ideas in the UK

March 12th, 2013

Whether you are looking to celebrate a birthday party, Lady Climbingorganise a student reunion, get friends together or even to celebrate a divorce, there is nothing better to do on a weekend or break than an activity or two.

The UK has some of the best activity sites in the world so if you live in the UK you should count yourself a lucky person.
Can you believe that Newquay offers all year round surfing, that’s one in the eye for the Australians, where sometimes their sea is just pond life (that’s because they have better weather bastards).

If you are in need of some adventure then Coasteering is a fantastic activity and created in the UK.

Available in Newquay, Swansea or Bournemouth, Coasteering involves jumping into deep pools, climbing sheer rock faces and exploring sea caves making it an amazing activity break idea.

If you prefer something that involves petrol then in good old Blighty you have the choice of Rage Buggies, Quad Biking, Indoor Karts, Hovercrafting, 4×4’s, Stock Car Racing there are just too many motorised activities to mention.

But activities doesn’t mean you have to get active, how about horse racing weekends?

In all of the DesignaVenture horse racing weekends we include luxury hotels, return transport to the racecourse and horse racing packages at the racecourse.

So if you are in need of some inspiration, ideas and an immense Activity Break, head over to our Activity Breaks section of our website and get totally immersed.

Spanish Stag Party Celebrates in Swansea

March 7th, 2013

A Spanish stag party travelled from the sunny climes of the Basque Country in Spain to celebrate their stag party in Swansea.

We all know Spain is a massive magnet for hen and stag dos from the UK, but we really didn’t know it was reciprocal.

The real reason they travelled to Swansea via Manchester airport was to watch their beloved striker Michu play for Swansea as they beat Newcastle 1 – 0.

Mr Mintegui the Spanish stag told an evening newspaper reporter “It felt like I was in a dream and I’m very pleased with my friends and Swansea City for giving me the chance to meet Michu.”

“He was brilliant and gave me a present of a T-shirt and trousers. He spoke with us for a while and we took some pictures and all was brilliant.”

There is also nothing wrong with having your stag do in Swansea, it has fantastic nightlife and there are loads of stag activities on offer in the day.

Swansea is also attracting many foreign students who want to study at the University and may catch a premier league game or two.

We love Swansea, it really is a great place to hold your stag weekend with or without a trip to Liberty Stadium.
