Indoor Karting A Perfect Stag Activity For Any Weather

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

All you have to do is look outside your window and it feels like it’s been raining for months, it’s only been weeks, I promised.

However, if you don’t like getting wet on your stag do then indoor karting is the perfect stag activity.

Depending on which track you go to you usually find over 10 karts racing head to head with onboard computers giving fastest lap, average speed and number of laps data – so there’s no cheating!

Most tracks also run heats, with semi finals and a final for winners and losers so you’ll get the full podium finish with bubbly and possibly a load of banter from the other stag party members.

Indoor karting is a great stag activity whatever the weather, a stag do is also a great place for competitive soles to get their competition fix.

Stand Up On Your Stag Do

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Stag dos love a bit of comedy, and what better way to spend your big stag night out then at a comedy club.

This isn’t something new, a trip to the comedy club on one night of the stag weekend is extremely popular.

Either include food or just entry either way you will get 3 hours of comedy and then a late bar and disco to finish.

Visiting a comedy club on your stag weekend has many pluses including keeping all the boys together in one venue all night long, elevating the chances of loosing people throughout the night.

It is also popular with the fathers and uncles of the Bride or Groom.

So if you are looking for a great stag do idea, a visit to a comedy club is definitely a great move.

Kick Back, Relaxing Stag Dos

Monday, March 5th, 2012

Most people tend to tarnish a stag do being loud and full to the brim with testosterone, and they are usually near the mark, however not all stag dos want to be brash.

Some stags / ‘grooms to be’ want a quiet more chilled affair, not full of banging clubs and naked strippers.

Adventurous Stag Do Ideas

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

If your groom is a bit of an adrenalin junkie and likes to live on the edge, then below is a rough guide for adventurous stag do activity ideas I am sure he would like to get his teeth into.

Coasteering

Just Jump

First of all Coasteering, this is a wild activity with bells on, jumping into deep water pools obviously on the coast, hence the name. All the specialised equipment such as wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets are included, all you need to bring is an old pair of trainers and balls of steel as the jumps get higher and higher.

Staying with water based stag activities; get yourselves to Wales or Scotland for some Gorge Scrambling action. Also known as Canyoning, this adventurous stag do activity includes walking behind waterfalls, jumping into deep pools, traversing sheer rock faces and in some locations exploring a cave or two. Again all your specialised equipment is included.

White Water Rafting finishes off the water based activity list in style, frothing water and a thrashing river awaits your group’s raft so get your paddles ready and prepare for a dunking. Most of the white water river sites are grade 2 – 4 however; there are some man made sites, which are also popular with the newest in Cardiff Bay.

Abseiling may not be the first activity on the stag do essential list but the one in North Wales is pretty special. SAS style abseiling from 80ft bridges will certainly get the blood pumping and the adventurous hungry stag happy.

Talking of the SAS, try out the mega assault course in Hereford with a high ropes course that will curl your toes, fly down a zip line and walking the Jacobs ladder.

To finish off without a snifter of motorised stag do activities in sight why not try Mountain biking in the Scottish highlands near Edinburgh or in North Wales. Cycle along stunning mountain paths with some high narrow ledges and some great down hill action.

All these adventurous stag do ideas can be done by themselves or in a DesignaVenture bullet-proof stag package, call us for details.

Winter Stag Do Budget Busters

Monday, December 12th, 2011

There’s always that period pre and post Christmas when money is tight and if your stag do is coming up and you’re humming and hahing about where to go on a limited budget, then check out some of our special offers.Stag in the snow

There’s no need to compromise your activities or enjoyment as we’ve got plenty of locations that offer excellent packages without breaking the bank. For this we recommend Britain, so travel costs aren’t hiking your prices up so much, plus, at this time of year, there’s no need to go abroad as the weather is the same everywhere in Europe.

So what do we have? Generally doing your own thing during the day and saving your blow-out for the evening works out cheapest.

Somewhere like Blackpool is probably our lowest stag do deal at only £49. Incredibly this includes hotel, breakfast, VIP lap dancing and club entries. But if you want to build in some day time adventure too, stag nights in Nottingham start from just £59, yes they include accommodation, breakfast, an activity like paintballing, plus guest list nightclub entry. It’s staggering isn’t it (ouch, pardon the pun!).

A stag do in Hereford is just £89, with good quality central accommodation, breakfast, try raft building or bonkers treasure hunting in the day and hit the town at night.
For just a few quid more, at £99 your Edinburgh stag package will give you an additional night’s stay, and Bournemouth and Brighton’s £99 two night winter season packages focus on the hardened stag night traditions with bar passes, VIP lap dancing entry and guest list club passes. Phenomenal value.

If boozing all night is a bit predictable, what about a stag night at the dogs in Manchester with an overnight deal at just £72?

Bristol ramps the quality and quantity up a bit more, with special overnight offers in four star hotels with breakfast, rage buggies or quad biking, clay pigeon shooting and guest list club entry all at only £110, or cut out the activities and build in an evening meal bringing your stag night down to just £81.

What we’re trying to say is that you can have a legendary time, staying overnight or two, with meals, activities and nightlife, all organised for you and spend as little or as much on your stag do as you want. The point is choice and flexibility. With many more locations across the UK and Europe DesignaVenture will make it happen in an area to suit you.
