Stag Do Suggestions

[DaveShoelace]

Its a bit premature as its more than a year away, but as per milligan84's suggestion, post your best stag do suggestions/experiences here

Obv Vegas is the ultimate, but doubt most of my mates could afford that.

I wanted to do the Crystal Maze in Cardiff, but I hear thats closed now.

Also fancied a stunt man day somewhere, Ive always wanted to run away from something thats about to explode.

Currently toying with Liverpool as I really liked my weekend away there last week

Great thread!

Been on an absolute load. Both UK and abroad.

Vegas was my own - literally only one downside imo and that was cost even staying at PH and getting indirect flights, this resulted in numbers being low with only 4 of us making it (just like the hangover) but was still out of this world. CraigyBetts might have a different opinion as he was one of the selected few. Even puking blood didn't put a downer on it.

Riga, Latvia - a few weeks ago 25 of us. Booked through a company called red7. They allow you to set up a monthly payment plan ie £17 pm for 12 months gets you 5* hotel, transfers, strip club, VIP Club entry, go karting and guided pub crawl by 2 hotties. Massive value for money and none of the horror stories that i read about came true. Flights not included, which were only £40.

Manchester - I organised this one and it was booked through a company called Chillisauce.co.uk It was also a monthly payment thing. Got a pub crawl, decent city centre hotel, 5 a side footy and a party bus! this involved getting on a double decker with 3 hen dos and our stag do. It was abso manic. Has a sound system and you play drinking games etc. takes you to 4 bars with 1 free drink in each queue jump etc then rounds you off at a club. Massive valoooo and a great time.

Also been to Liverpool, Blackpool, Newcastle, Edingburgh, Amsterdam, Estonia and Prague on stag dos/lads wknds. Had a lot of trouble getting into places in Liverpool and jockland and it is a massive ball ache to break up in smaller groups etc and someone always ends up not getting in then it is a ball ache getting your mates back out again.

I would defo suggest booking it through one of these tailor made companies. The stuff they have on offer is abso amazing, Zorbing, paintaballing, human table football etc also great value for money and no chance of getting refused entry.

Sure some other people must have some sick ideas.

Never been out in Cardiff, only temby and aberyswth sp* if its anything like either of them places it will be amazing. Crystal Maze would be world class! Book early and do a payment plan imo then even the cheap/indecisive mates have no excuse to not go. 12 months is ideal

I'm having mine in Vegas.

The Duke is organising it.

FML.

Most of the ones I have been on have been tame so far.

Newcastle was fun, freezing though.

Brighton was ok, but the brides dad went, so only so much fun we could have.

York was meh, I got thrown out of a club though so that was fun.

Did one in Australia which was quite time as the brides dad was there, again.

Best one Ive done was London, where we wore stupid outfits and had to have a drink on every stop of the central line, that was carnage.

Done several in Sheffield - meh

Im looking for a mix of a fun place, and an activity/gimmick that will be remembered.

I am in Milligans boat

I have been to ALOT of eurpoean cities on stags -  but the cost is def a consideration, but simple fact is, they tend to be better

I would say making sure everyone comes is far more important than going away. Id much sooner everyone makes it, but i wouldnt bend over backwards for 1 or 2 people, as they usually have a nagging wife who is just trying to throw stumbling blocks in the way anyway they can.

I think lots of people will have been to many places, so perhaps you need to narrow as best you can then we all provide our comments?

One thing I would say, is that although  "activity stags" are good fun, they turn out to be much less fun if you are in the middle of nowhere. We did a weeked in Aviemore last summer - activites were amazing but nightlife was dire. People want nightlife on a stag.

Also, stay where the action is - you dont want to be travelling around all the time - especially with big groups

we hired a midget. he came up from london and met us in manchester. he was with a 'minder' but was totally cool, he said he would come dressed as whatever we wanted, and when he got there we tiewrapped him to the stag. he drank everything the stag did and was abso wasted by ~10pm. cost about £500 but split between 20 people was nothing and was good banter

Been on a lot also.

Defo Riga ftw

One i couldn't make but my mate's said was amazing was when they rented a couple of canal boats and just floated/sailed around going from place to place for a few days, getting smashed and causing mayhem. Docking up, going out and doing it all over again the next day. Think that is defo more about the company you are in as opposed to anything else.

Activities i've done on stag dos were clay pigeon shooting, go karting, paintballing and 5 a side. All pretty standard imo. CPS was the worst as a few of us were still abso wrecked/hadn't stopped drinking and the instructors were getting arsey with us threatening to ban us, where as abroad we turned up, signed a waiver and they let us be as drunk as we want, shoot AK47s, shotguns etc.

Barry, get the midget from Game of Thrones. He'd be the best.

THis

We went to Copenhagan, which as a city for a stag is pretty poor (expensive), but the group we had was amazing, (really smallishish close nit), one day we didnt leave the same pub - for 12 hours! We just had good craic

Anyone been to Tallin ?

Anyone been to Tallin ?

Went in 05', really enjoyed it, the ladies were incred. Heard it has been spoilt a bit by the influx of British tourists, which has pushed the prices up and made the locals a lot more wary of Brits in particularly.
