StagWeb Stag Weekends Blog

Simple, a Bournemouth stag weekend is a great weekend. Year on year it has been our number one stag destination and it’s not difficult to see why. A mixture of great activities, golden beaches and amazing nightlife really makes it a no brainer.

We have accommodation options to suit any Bournemouth Stag do, from cheap and cheerful guesthouse, to luxury 4 star properties with pool and spa facilities. Bare in mind when the sun’s out in Bournemouth the beach beckons, so it’s not always wise spending most of the weekend budget on your accommodation when you will only be there for a couple of hours a night.

Bournemouth really comes into its own when you start weighing up activity options. It boasts some of the best motorsports in the country including a 20 acre quad biking centre that will blow your mind, and one of the best multi activity outfits offering rage buggies, clay shooting and much more.

Once the sun has set on your day of fun it’s time to indulge in the Bournemouth nightlife, and you won’t be disappointed. From summer party cruises to the highs and lows at the dogs, this town is loaded with fun and exciting evening options to really make your Bournemouth Stag do a weekend to remember.

Case study from Mark Courts Nottingham stag weekend.

With StagWeb’s comprehensive website making stag planning ‘a breeze’, Mark had no problem pinpointing exactly what he was after for his Nottingham stag do:

A white water rafting session in August for 15-20 guys.  Armed with this information, we were able to secure the group an exhilarating 2 hour session at our Nottingham venue, which boasts a 700m grade 3 international course with some of the best white water in the country. Having paid his deposit and confirmed the booking for the rafting activity, Mark then asked whether StagWeb could arrange some accommodation for the group over the weekend, so we got to work straight away. Having ascertained the group’s budget and specific requirements, we were able to land him rooms at one of our best budget hotels in the city centre – right where he wanted to be – as well as offering him some great evening entertainment options.

Some of the group were keen to go for the full 2 night package, whereas others could only join in for the rafting, or the rafting with only 1 night’s accommodation. At StagWeb, we appreciate that flexibility is key, so even when some of the group changed their minds several days after the final balance had been paid; we dealt with the amendments promptly and professionally, ensuring that Mark was kept fully informed throughout.

Here at StagWeb, we’re committed to your enjoyment and can guarantee first class service, support and value from the start.  We’re here to take the stress out of organising, so send us your Nottingham stag weekend brief now!
