Hen Weekend Blackpool, Stag Weekend Blackpool, Manchester Stag Night & Hen Nights and Weekends

Blackpool Hen Night or Stag Night

Blackpool is the ultimate northern stag and hen location, and has accommodation that caters specifically for these groups, with late night bars and themes, and all sorts of entertainment to accommodate those who want a wild night, but also those who would prefer to see out their remaining single days more quietly!

The famous Blackpool Pleasure Beach is surrounded by bars and clubs as well as indoor and outdoor go-karting venues. There are also murder mystery weekends on offer, with in-house hotel entertainment quite common. The town also boasts the ultimate hen party venue - Blackpool's very own 'Funny Girls'. After a visit to this drag cabaret show a Blackpool hen night is not likely to be forgotten! Stags might prefer something a little more macho - clay pigeon shooting perhaps? For stag weekends Blackpool is exceptionally popular, in part thanks to the apparently limitless choice of activities.

Stags will not be short of options in Blackpool. Whether it's go-karting, paintballing, clay-pigeon shooting or just drinking (!) there is plenty to do in the UK's premier seaside resort. Blackpool has three excellent piers, as well as The Pepsi Max Big One - the tallest rollercoaster in the UK, and formerly the tallest in the world at 235ft! Many hotels and guest houses are specialists in dealing with stag and hen parties and often have late night bars, with easy accessibility.

Hens have plenty to keep them occupied too though. There are pubs and bars everywhere, with shows also regularly taking place in the town. They could also enjoy the many rides and attractions at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, whilst they might also visit the actual beach itself! Blackpool has miles of sandy beach and promenade. For hen weekends Blackpool is an excellent choice.

Stag Weekend Manchester & Hen Night Manchester: Checklist

When planning your stag or hen do perhaps the most important consideration is who to invite. It is important to get the right blend of people, taking into account which of your friends do and do not know each other. Your partner may or may not have ideas as to who you should invite and it is definitely worth consulting him/her. If any family members or people whose age is dramatically different from the majority of the group are coming then you may have to take this into consideration, particularly as extremely young/old members may need to go home earlier than everyone else.

When deciding upon a venue for your stag or hen night or weekend consider the accessibility for all of your guests - some may have particular needs or requirements in this regard. Some guests may also be working to a tighter budget than others, and so travel, accommodation and activity costs need to be carefully considered.

One all of the above has been sorted out, and the location and accommodation settled upon, then you can start to send out the invitations and make provisional bookings. Then you can start drawing up an itinerary, as well as designating any specific tasks and roles e.g. if someone is supposed to bring photos or props, or any other particular item. Perhaps you will decide upon one individual to be responsible for assisting with directions to, and general information about, the venue. Such organisational options are always down to the individual, but it is important to be generally well organised.

Manchester Stag Weekends, Blackpool Hen Nights: Getting Organised

Remember to book your accommodation well in advance, and check to see that the venue is happy to accept group bookings - not all will be! There is actually more information regarding group accommodation accessed via the Group Holidays tab towards the right of your screen. It is important to be honest when booking, otherwise you could be refused entry upon your arrival. The same rules apply to restaurant, club and comedy night bookings - check that large groups are allowed, and book early. There are actually various stag and hen organising companies that can aid in these matters.

All guests should be well drilled on the itinerary, and should know exactly where everyone is going, meeting and perhaps most importantly - staying! Clear directions and attention to detail are particularly important in order that you don't lose a member of your posse! A good idea is to have back-up meeting places - somewhere that everyone knows that can act as a rendezvous point, should one or more person become detached from the group.

By this point all stags or hens should be aware of the costs involved, and should have budgeted accordingly, with everyone clear on their contribution to the combined costs. It is your choice when to collect the money - before, after or perhaps even during the event. The final consideration is how you will all get home, or back to the hotel or accommodation. Members of the group should watch out for one another, in order that no one gets stranded.
