Other Stag Do Ideas in Nottingham

Let’s start with the obvious: Nottingham’s most famous resident, Robin Hood. This legendary folk hero, if he ever really existed, is said to have hidden out of the sight of the authorities in nearby Sherwood Forest with his band of merry men. The beautiful forest, a unique habitat for local wildlife, is just 20 miles north of Nottingham. It is home to numerous walking and cycling trails and an excellent Go Ape high ropes course, as well as the famous Major Oak, a huge tree under which legend says the merry men would sleep at night.

In the city centre itself, you’ve got Nottingham Castle, where you can learn even more about the legend of Robin Hood on tours that are combined with interactive digital experiences like archery competitions or sparring sessions with Little John. If your group has a few history buffs among them then you might enjoy a wander through the City of Caves. Under the streets of Nottingham there is a subterranean maze comprising hundreds of sandstone caves that date back to the Dark Ages. It’s one of the most unusual places in the UK. 

For something slightly less claustrophobic, head over to the Dragon on Long Row. Here there’s a permanent Scalextric track set up where you and the guys can channel your inner Lewis Hamilton and pit your skills against each other. You may not have played Scalextric since you were kids, but you’ll be amazed at how exciting and competitive it gets - and at how quickly the muscle memory kicks in! Just a 10-minute walk from the Dragon brings you to one of Nottingham’s most scenic spots, the Arboretum. This small but really attractive park is a nice area to clear your heads after a night on the sauce. It’s said to have been the inspiration for Neverland in Peter Pan.
