Nottingham Stag Weekends

Nottingham More Info

Nottingham City Guide

Where is it – Nottingham is one of England’s most central cities and is positioned on the River Trent. It is located north east from Birmingham and south from Sheffield.

What to see and do – Sherwood Forest was of course the home of Robin Hood and  it is now a fantastic location for many of Nottingham’s brilliant activities, which are perfect for stag weekends. If you are not an outdoors type then the city centre is rich in retail options.

Unique selling point - Nottingham’s nightlife takes some beating. It is a student town and as we know students like to party. They are spoilt for choice with the range of fantastic nightclubs and countless quality bars available to spend their student loans in. There is plenty of room for stag parties though and you can expect to see countless hen groups out each weekend, especially as this is a city famous for its female population, the majority of which are stunning by the way.

City Nightlife

Nottingham was the 1st UK city to relax its drinking laws, creating an epicentre of bars, pubs and clubs to indulge in some sharp shooters, and we’re not talking Robin Hood here! With the nurses campus nearby, and more hen parties than you can shake a stick at, you stags are bound to stampede through a few roosts, leaving an aftermath of L-plates, blown up condoms and nurses costumes. “I bought a pint of lager in a pub in Nottingham for less than two quid. What’s that all about?” - Anon, Hampshire

Nottingham Stag Ideas

Basically, every activity is an option here. More notably, Nottingham gives you an excuse to arm yourself to the teeth, dress like Rambo, settle some scores, and go paint-balling at the same time! The only sport where you can shoot your best mate in the head and everyone thinks it’s hilarious! "I spent a little extra and opted for a machine gun and not a pistol whilst paint-balling. I executed my three best mates in a tidal wave of firepower they’ll never forget. They didn’t stand a chance. Brilliant!!" - Kevin "the terminator" Jackson, Nottingham, 2007 Stag "handy to know" info * It’s possible to buy 4 pints and get change back from a tenner. * Victoria Kebabs or Moulin Rouge, after 7 or 8 pints, their kebabs taste like angel breath. 3.50 for a large doner mix kebab with all the trimmings.

Nottingham's Famous For

Nottingham's most famous son is Robin Hood and his merry men, who are now replaced by the stag and his merry men, just without the robbing from the rich bit. The city of Nottingham was once famous for its European conquering football team and 'The Ego' himself, the legendary Brian Clough. However, while the football team has struggled to keep up with the big boys its nightlife has continued to do it proud. This is also a city that is famous for the myth that there is 5 girls to every guy, which may or may not be true, but the girls that are here are gorgeous.
