Stag parties 'should consider alternatives to the pub'

Prospective grooms looking for an alternative to spending their stag do sinking drinks in the pub all day might seek to do something a little more energetic, it has been claimed.

According to The Bloke, a columnist in the Yorkshire Evening Post, revellers who fancy something different to the traditional night out on the tiles have plenty of options.

While he himself plans to spend his upcoming stag party at Haydock races before heading for the lively bars and clubs of Manchester, he reserved praise for those who do something out of the ordinary.

"Over the years of attending stag dos I've come to admire those grooms who choose the occasion to do something really energetic and different," he stated.

The writer cited activities such as river walking and grass boarding as ideal alternatives to drinking the night away, with lads sure to enjoy the experience.

Meanwhile, for those keen to enjoy a slightly more relaxing time, Travelbite.co.uk recently recommended a day out on the golf course as the perfect precursor to a stag night out.
