Whether you decide to go abroad or stay in the UK this is your chance to get away with the lads and have a stag weekend to remember without bumping into people you know. It is also your chance to have a private weekend with just you and your closest friends so make sure that you have a blast, remember what goes on tour, stays on tour.

ADVICE FOR THE STAG

To have a stag night or stag weekend away is certainly the best way to go out with a bang. Remember, your new life awaits for you on the other side of the wedding so say goodbye to your old life in style.

When possible, let your friends pull together and fund the stag do as you have enough to pay for with the up and coming wedding.

Once you and the best man have decided on what and where, turn to DesignaVenture who are extremely experience in arranging stress free stag dos.

They can organise everything from stag friendly hotels, popular stag activities and nightclubs to gentleman’s clubs, transport and even an evening meal before hitting the bars and clubs on your big night out. It is a one stop stag shop (try and say that after a few flaming Sambuca’s)!

ADVICE FOR THE BEST MAN

From the moment you got the chance to be part of the wedding let’s be honest, all that was on your mind was arranging a kick-ass stag do.

Now this could bring a chill down your spine and a sweat on you brow but stop – there is no need to panic DesignaVenture is there to rescue you.

All you have to do is decide, communicate and enjoy. Round up the troops to see how many want in and then sit back and let DesignaVenture take the strain.

Over 100 traders have signed up to the Bristol pound, from bakeries to more importantly restaurants and bars. Luckily they will also be excepting the good old Bristish pound so stag groups needn’t panick!

The Bristol pound exchange rate is fairly simple and you won’t need Carol Vauderman to work it out as it’s; one Bristol pound is worth exactly one Bristish pound.

According to the BBC Website “the Bristol Pound will be printed in notes, and also traded electronicly”.

So, the next time you book a stag do to Bristol see if you can fill up your stag kitty with Bristol Pounds, as it may help their local economy and it’s also a bit of fun too.

The majority of hotels in prime city centre locations tend to be 3 and 4 star and have great facilities including parking, leisure facilities, room service and not forgetting a very late bar (for residents only that is).

This is why DesignaVenture strive to always offer 3 & 4 star hotels in their top stag destinations.

You are guaranteed a happy stag party, if your accommodation is to a high standard and is walking distance of the bars, clubs and pubs.

However, we haven’t forgotten about the stag party that doesn’t want to spend all their money on accommodation and that’s why we also offer stag friendly city centre economy hotels.

These economy hotels are again to a good standard clean, tidy with en-suite rooms but they just don’t have the extra facilities like the 3 and 4 star hotels such as, 24 hour room service, a trouser press, valet parking etc. however, we always make sure there’s a late bar! Don’t expect the Ritz, but definitely don’t expect the pits.

So when you book a stag do through DesignaVenture you are guaranteed a number of things including a fully vetted high standard of accommodation, now sit back and relax, your stag friendly hotel is sorted.

Stag Friendly Hotels Dissected is a post from: Stag Dos

Two nights in a 3 -4 star hotel, DesignaVenture give you the choice if both are available, it’s obvious which one most stag groups book.

Race Rage Buggies around a purpose built race track, hack across rough terrain in quad bikes and then finish off with a shooting competition with laser guided clay shooting rifles.

And if there has got you salivating you then have gust-list entry into either Oceana, Nottingham’s biggest clubs or Gatecrasher Nottingham’s most famous nightclub.

All this for a stag do busting, stag kitty hugging and Lap dance loving £139 per person.

This has to be the best valued stag do in the country, let me know if you know of a better valued stag weekend and I will eat my mouse!

I have just had a brief chat with the sales manager of DesignaVenture and he has informed me that this year, they have had an unprecedented amount of stag do bookings for white water rafting in the UK for January, February and March.

Why are stag parties becoming more tolerant of the cold weather and doing activities where they know they are going to have to fight the elements?

Well, first things first, modern technical clothing will keep you more warmer, drier and less sweaty then ever before and some items actually looks good. Also, wet suits these days are well clever, and will keep your stag party nice and toastie even on the colder days and when the water temperature is near freezing.

However, I also think the plucky British stag do is becoming more adventurous, up for the chilling challenges, they want the adrenaline and are not scared of danger.

Also these days, stag dos have loads of opportunities with fantastic stag do ideas in the UK available all year round.

After all it’s not the weather that will make you cold or get you wet, it’s your clothing.

White Water Rafting in Winter, ARE YOU CRAZY! is a post from: Stag Dos

The Daily Star recently covered a story of his fellow band mates wanting to kidnap him and jet him off to a secret location blindfolded!

According to the star, Aston apprently told a reporter that Marvin will only know the dates, and everything else will be kept a secret in a military style operation.

There was also promise the stag do will be a Hangover 3!

Wow, if you have seen hangover 1 & 2, if this JLS stag do is going to be a sequel you better lock up all animals and close all local zoos!!

The press love a stag do, last year they went nuts for Prince William’s stag party, so I expect more of the same for Marvin, good luck mate.

But hey! The Last weekend in July and the first 2 weekends in August are always humongously busy with hen parties and stag dos alike, what does the humble stag wanting his last days as a single man to do whilst this massive sporting event is going on?

London and it’s surrounding cities and towns will be choca block with Olympic tourists and every company including hotels will be cashing in.

So here’s the thing, if you intend to go on your stag weekend in those three weeks either keep away from from the South East (that includes Brighton), book early and / or expect to pay a much higher rate for your accommodation.

My advice is go on your stag do to the South West (Cardiff, Bristol, Bournemouth, Newquay) or head up North to Nottingham, Wales, Newcastle or Edinburgh.

At least you won’t get bogged down in traffic and hit by Olympic prices (pardon the pun).

So where do you go for your last nights out as a single man or woman?

I went to Newquay on my stag do and boy what a weekend. We hit Newquay by about 3pm on the Friday afternoon, checked in to our hotel before running down the steps into the sea!

Now that is the beauty about Newquay, most of the hotels are within 5 minutes walk of the beach and loads of the bars and clubs have stunning sea views.

The atmosphere in Newquay at night is amazing, bars pump out music all night long with some bars serving cocktails others with outside seating areas overlooking the beaches or in the bustling square.

If you are looking for stag activities not necessarily available in other top stag destinations, Newquay takes the crown with full on activities such as Coasteering, Surfing, Beach Volley ball, Zip Wire to name but a few.

Newquay is also a place to chill, the beaches are clean with crystal clear waters ideal for taking a dip or messing around in.

Stag parties wanting to play 5 a side football, the beaches are perfect, there is ample of space and the playing surface is ideal for sliding tackles and diving fanatic goal keepers.

Popular stag activities in Newquay are also some of the best in the UK. Newquay boasts one of the best Quad Bike racing circuits in the UK, with over 30 bikes, even the biggest stag parties can all have a go at the same time.

You then have the outdoor karting, with twin engines, flyovers and fly-unders this racing track is nuts, furiously fast and immense fun.

Newquay is quite a distance to drive if you live up North, however there is an answer; fly, Newquay Airport is extremely busy, with daily flights from most UK airports including London.

So, nothing should keep you from have a fantastic stag do to Newquay.

The Highlands are nearby, giving you massive stag activity choices, from the best white water rafting in the UK to quad biking and pistol shooting.

And if the adrenalin style stag activities don’t tickle your snifter, then how about a whisky tasting tour or cocktail making in one of Edinburgh’s best cocktail bars, well you are in Scotland!

The nightlife is good, the nightlife is very good, judging from the DesignaVenture customer comments, hens and stags love this city’s clubs and bars.

From the Royal Mile, down to the Grassmarkets and then taking in the West End, you’ll need 3 nights at least.

So if you are pondering on a top stag destination, Edinburgh should be at the top of your list.

There is a game becoming popular with stag parties up and down the country and it’s called ‘Phone Bar-d’.

On your stag night out if you are caught making or taking a phone call it’s you are sent straight to the bar to buy a round of drinks.

This will stop the lads who cannot put their work or life down for 1 day just so the groom can have a relaxing stag night out with his best mates.

It doesn’t have to be for the whole stag weekend, it can be for just the main night out, this will stop people leaving the group and taking the atmosphere with them.

Get ‘Phone Bar-d’ for your next stag do, it cost nothing unless you are caught talking on your phone!
