Stag and Hen nights are the best way for you both to have ‘one last’ blow-out before the big day. This could consist of just one evening, right up to a weekend or week away with your best friends. Traditionally your chief bridesmaid and best man should help you organise the hen or stag events respectively, so here’s just a few ideas from the Roseland Online Wedding Planner for both.
Stag Night
5 A Side Football – Something to get the energy flowing before a good night out.
Casino – Feeling lucky? Whether poker, roulette or the slot machines, why not have a flutter on your weekend away with the lads?
Canoeing – Why not hire a few canoes or Kayaks for the day or for a whole week and spend some nights under the stars?
Clay Pigeon Shooting – Act like perfect gentlemen armed with shotguns and see who out of your group can shoot the most clay pigeons!
Fishing – There are some great fishing opportunities here in South Central Cornwall, so why not see who can net the best catch?
Go Karting – Test your driving skills with the lads and separate the men from the boys, once and for all.
Paintball – This popular stag activity is great fun; hunting your mates down before unloading everything you’ve got in their general direction.
Pub Crawl – One of man’s most cherished pastime and here in South Central Cornwall you’ve got a feast of great locations both country wide and by the sea.
Surfing – Take the boys to the South Central Cornwall waves with a surfing lesson or, for the more experienced, slip off the Newquay for the crashing Atlantic spray.
Whatever you choose, there are a thousand and one things to do in and around South Central Cornwall and even more if you travel a little east or west, so what more perfect a place to come for your stag party?
Hen Night
The girls may want to follow the boys by doing any of the above. Alternatively, for something a little gentler, why not consider these options:
Casino – Like the boys, poker, roulette or the slot machines, are a great way to have a flutter with the girls on your weekend away?
Felt and Craft Making – Our own Sub Editor, Lou Tonkin, holds great Felt and Craft making days for those feeling a little artistic. Just email her for more details.
Horse Riding – How about trying something totally different for your hen weekend and go horse riding?
Sailing – Whether just a day up to a week, why not take to the high seas on a sailing trip with the girls? With some of the best coast lines in the world, South Central Cornwall, with its tranquil seas, would make a perfect time away.
Spa & Pamper – Take a break and spend some quality time with the girls with a spa day or week. Enjoy the luxury of Jacuzzi, steam room and swimming pool and maybe an hour or two of pamper treatments like a facial or a shoulder and neck massage. There are a multitude of great spas in the area, so what better way to relax before your big day?
