It’s a new decade, but it’s still important that the age-old tradition of the stag night must still be upheld and in this day and age you have a fantastic selection of options for your stag night entertainment. You can still go for the timeless classic of pubs and clubs – there are many good reasons why this has been popular with so many stag groups – but you may want to try something else on your stag night or if you’re going for a whole stag weekend, you could go traditional on one night and try something different on the other.

Comedy clubs are becoming increasingly popular with stag groups and are perfect for the first night of a stag weekend, it gets all the lads laughing together getting you all warmed up for a great weekend. Just watch where you sit as comedians have been known to single out stag groups for ridicule – unless you’d welcome a few laughs at your expense, comedy shows are always more memorable if you’re involved!

For a top stag night out you’re going to need to make sure that you arrive at every location in style and we’ve got two great options to help you do just that. With the boogie bus you can keep the party going between bars and there’s also the booze cruise option which is not only great for standing out from the crowd (who else will be turning up at the club in a  boat?) it’s also a brilliant way to see the city.

Surfing

Probably the coolest activity on the planet, well at least if you know what you’re doing, but for a stag weekend surfing is great fun. You’ll do a half-day (or full day) tater where you’ll get taught the basics and get out into the ocean for a top laugh with the lads. It’s refreshing, hilarious fun and sends the hangover packing! Top spots – Newquay, Woolacombe.

Waveskiing

A little bit different waveskiing is a cross between surfing and kayaking. A great activity where you can quickly experience the thrill. Get out on the ocean, catch a wave and then paddle like bilio into the shore – fit and fun. Top spots –Newquay.

Ringos

Remember when you were a kid and there was an old tyre inner on a bit of rope tied to the back of a speedboat … well this is the 21st century version ideal for stag weekend watersports. It’s a lot slicker but just as much fun and perhaps a little quicker – splashtastic. Top spots – Bournemouth, Brighton, Isle of Wight, Newquay, Torquay, Woolacombe.

Windsurfing

very cool, ok you won’t be world beaters at the first attempt but you will learn a new skill and it will be hilarious as you all struggle to get it right, but that’s part of the fun of the stag weekend. Eventually you will and you’ll be out cutting through the waves with a huge smile on your faces. Top spots – Bournemouth, Brighton, Isle of Wight, Newquay, Southampton, Torquay, Woolacombe.
Zap Kats

These high velocity single seater power boats are as powerful as you’re going to get for stag weekend watersports, they’re a serious bit of kit. So powerful in fact if it’s too choppy you’ll have to be taken out by an instructor, it’s like speedway on the sea. Top spots – Bournemouth, Brighton, Cardiff, Newquay, Southampton.

This month Virgin Trains are launching a brand new ‘large group’ product which should make getting to your stag party that little bit easier and also save your whole group some extra cash. From Monday 22nd June there will be new levels of fares on standard and first class for groups of 10 people or more. Passengers travelling in large groups will be benefiting from greater flexibility and cheaper tickets making a stag party in the UK even more appealing.

Jim Rowe, Senior Communications Manager for Virgin Trains, says: “In a difficult economic climate it is perhaps not surprising that people are choosing not to travel abroad so much for their stag and hen parties.
Something for everyone “There is something for everyone in the UK and with the Virgin Trains new West Coast timetable now in place with more frequent off peak services and cheap tickets, travelling by train really is the ideal option. Additionally, if tickets are booked well in advance of departure date they are less expensive so you may even be able to take advantage of the brand new menu in first class!”

Save up to 70% on trains group travel

Travelling with ten or more can cut the cost of your journey significantly. For example, a return trip to and from Liverpool to London normally costs around £62.60 per person*, but with a group travel ticket, it only costs £18.00 per person – that’s a saving of 67 percent! Virgin Train tickets
