Tim was short on time and looking for a great Nottingham stag weekend when he came to us, we got straight to work on providing an unbeatable personal stag package for him which would be memorable and great on value.

From his Nottingham stag do Tim wanted to get an action packed one night stay with central accommodation, a meal, comedy club and a day time activity that the guys would remember and be talking about for a long time to come, he got just that!!

First step was to get an activity that all the guys would enjoy, something motorised and a bit unusual was the brief, Tank driving was the obvious answer. Our tank driving day gave the guys the chance to battle the rough terrain in the Nottinghamshire countryside in real life tanks, weighing in at 15 and half tons each. It’s fair to say the boys really enjoyed playing in these genuine ex-army vehicles that have served in actual war zones and hit speeds of up to 52kph. Tim commented on these “The activity was well done and the staff were good. Good recommendation from Jamie”

To this we added one night accommodation in a central 2/3* hotel slap bang in the centre of town in twin en-suite rooms and with the all important full English breakfast in the morning! For the stag night entertainment we organised a 2 course meal and a couple of beers at the world renowned and only UK Hooters restaurant in Nottingham, when in Rome and all that, and a night of laughter at Nottingham’s newest and most hilarious comedy club.

Even with the tight time constraints we were able to organise a fantastic Nottingham stag weekend for the boys and once the hangover had subsided on Monday Tim was able to give us the following testimonial –

“… I would like to thank Jamie and Fern for all their help. As I didn’t leave a lot of time to organise everything but they managed to get it organised. So thank you for your help. Everyone had a great day and the help from StagWeb made getting everything organised a lot easier. Thanks for the day …”
