The Norwood Hotel

Welcoming, friendly and a great place to kickstart the party, this fun-lovin' hotel in the heart of Blackpool is the perfect spot to set up base camp on the groom's big weekend away. Not only is the atmosphere sociable and energetic, but due to its location, you'll also be able to bounce on out and start the celebration in a flash.

Purpose-built for group events, Norwood Hotel boasts everything you need for a hassle-free stay. Forget the frills, stag weekends are about giving the groom a memorable send-off he'll never forget, not whether the en suites have heated floors or nasal hair trimmers. You just need somewhere to get your heads down, possibly grab a beer, and wake up to a hangover-conquering breakfast - and that's exactly what you get here.

The rooms are all kitted out with single beds which means none of the guys will have to share, plus they all come with en suites and free WiFi. Downstairs you'll find a lively bar where you can gather to toast the groom before you take the short 500-yard stroll to the centre of town to really get the party started. Yes, forget wasting your hard-earned cash on expensive taxi journeys, you'll be dad-dancing distance to the best this town has to offer.

With its wallet-friendly prices and its great location, you and the boys will save a fair chunk of change which you can spend on the important things on a stag weekend, namely awesome stag challenges, tasty grub and some delicious ice-cold beers.

Sound good to you? Well, don't waste time hesitating. A hotel with a location as good as this will get snapped up in a flash. Don't miss out, book today and kick back and relax in the knowledge everything's sorted.
