The West of England’s capital city, Bristol is famous not least for the ‘ Rovers but also for its cosmopolitan liveliness and increasing trendiness. As a StagWeb top five destination – we know and love it better than most.

Here’s just some of the reason that Bristol dominates the stag weekend stakes:

• It’s massive range of daytime activities, at fantastic value, from Honda pilots to paintballing.
• Some of the best value hotels in the UK – 4 star hotels are particularly great!
• Cracking nightlife - lap dancing, bars, clubs, restaurants, party buses, medieval banquets, murder mystery and more
• Fantastically accessible – Bristol is located just off the M5 and M4 motorways, plus it has its own airport and two train stations!

Not surprising then that it also gets some of the best feedback from any UK stag weekend destination.

In 20 years time we won’t remember a lot of things, but you should remember your stag dos. Don’t let doom and gloom put you off having an exceptional time, it’s all about planning, getting more for less and added value – that’s where StagWeb make the difference!

Here are StagWeb’s tips for planning if you’re concerned about budget

1. only book with a financially assured agent, eg ABTA bonding – that way you know the company you book with will still be around
2. get your confirmations in early, who’s coming and who’s not
3. decide what you want to do and stick to it as best you can, chopping and changing costs a lot of time and time is money
4. book early to get the best deals and price consistency (especially with exchange rates)
5. make sure everyone’s clear on price
6. make sure everyone pays you on time
7. plan the weekend around getting the most from it, not just turning up – that’s the difference between great value and hoping for the best
8. relax, it’s a fun time and you’ve done a great job

Remember – the real expense is a missed opportunity.
