Derbyshires Peak District – Not Just Famous for Epic Hen Do and Stag Weekends

Article published: April 11th, 2013

If you’ve been watching the BBC lately, then you might have caught the new flagship drama based in Derbyshire’s Peak District. The Village is filmed in a number of scenic country locations including Hayfield, Chapel-en-le-Frith and Edale. Written by BAFTA-winning writer Peter Moffat, The Village is a six part series starring John Simms and Maxine Peake, starting in 1914 and ending in 1920.

If the rolling countryside and beautiful stone villages grab your attention, then why not make your way over here too? Hard Days Knight has an array of Derbyshire accommodation for any type of group, from couples, right through to Derbyshire hen do and Derbyshire stag weekend parties.

Whether you need a Derbyshire holiday cottage, a converted barn, chapel or stables, or even army tents and tipis on an exclusive Derbyshire estate, then get in touch to discuss your requirements and start enjoying this beautiful part of the world as the good weather approaches.

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
