Joint Stag and Hen Weekend Ideas

So you are going to spend the rest of your life with the one you love, so why not start as you mean to go on and have a joint stag and hen weekend?

Going to the horse racing is a real stag and hen do pleaser. Everyone can get dressed up and soak up the atmosphere whilst sipping on cocktails and watching the ladies parade in their hats.

There are plenty of racecourses around the country to choose from, and you could go all out and choose a special race-day such as ‘Ladies Day’ at Ascot or ‘Plate Day’ at Newcastle Racecourse. Make sure you book early as these fixtures are extremely popular.

If you want to experience exhilaration and you don’t mind getting wet, try out some great water activities like Gorge Walking (also known as Gorge Scrambling and Canyoning) or Coasteering. These activities can be done together and are a real group bonding session.

You may find that the group may just want to relax and mingle, in which case then I suggest you head for the beach. In the UK, Bournemouth and Newquay have great beaches where you can sunbathe, play volleyball or just simply chill out, and you then have fantastic nightlife on your doorstep to keep everyone in the group happy.

Getting on a plane is your best bet if you are looking for sun. Head for Spain as it’s only 2 hours away and you are more or less guaranteed getting a tan. The Balearics are great for sunny days and lively nights; the best two islands for both nightlife and beaches are Mallorca and Ibiza.

Many hen and stag groups have hugely different tastes, especially when it comes to daytime activities, so we find that some groups like split up in the day and then meet up for the night out.

We find this option to be very popular as most hen parties don’t like stag do activities and not many stag parties like a pamper day!
