We all love letting our hair down and partying, there is no better excuse than at a stag weekend.

The traditional stag parties are now more commonly known as stag weekends, one night has turned into a weekend full of activities, either here in the UK or abroad.

So what is the stag weekend all about? It's a weekend get-together where a group of bachelors celebrate one last time before the grooms wedding. The stag weekend usually takes place before the wedding. There used to be an age old joke of the groom being late for the wedding due to being lost on the stag party. As the stag weekend tends to take place in advance thankfully this does not happen so often any more.

The key to a good weekend is finding the right destinations and places to hold the activities, Nottingham stag weekends and Newcastle stag weekends are amongst the most popular destinations. Activities, such as off road racing events, go-karting, clay pigeon shooting and paint balling have become very popular. Other activities like water sports have also become quite a favourite. Nights are usually meant for enjoying in top night clubs, one of the popular trends is to wear fancy dress. Costumes can come in all wacky shapes and sizes, from 70's hippies to men dressed as women.

One of the ways to really break the ice and get everyone smiling is to visit a comedy club; there is no better way for you to have a laugh then to watch a comedian tell some jokes on stage, while you sip a beer or two.  An activity like that will stick in yours and the stag's memory for a long time. There are many other evening activities that could be considered such as lap dancing clubs, party buses or casino nights. Whatever tickles your fancy can be arranged for your stag weekend to go down in your friend's memories as the best stag weekend ever!

If you or any of your friends/family members are getting married, it would be worth considering a stag weekend. The advice would be to prepare and plan in advance and if you are the best man looking to surprise the groom, keeping the secret can be the hardest part! If you are aiming to have the best possible stag weekend you should look to book a Newcastle stag weekend or Nottingham stag weekend. There are plenty of online sites that can help you with booking and planning your trip, both in advance and at short notice, enjoy your weekend and good luck!
