Duke of Cambridge Enjoys Stag Weekend – Enjoy Yours in Derbyshires Peak District

Article published: August 16th, 2013

According to the London Evening Standard, new father the Duke of Cambridge is enjoying a stag weekend with friends in Devon following the birth of his son. Prince William is said to have been given permission to enjoy a trip with 15 friends who have been spotted swigging beer like it was going out of fashion.

Suppose Prince William and company approached Hard Days Knight; what would we have tempted him and his band of merry men with? We don’t want to stereotype, but surely this bunch of well-to-do chaps would be conversant with clay pigeon shooting, just one of the broad selection of shooting and combat activities we have on offer? Perhaps combine this with our falconry activity and if the guys want to see more birds then they could enlist our Butlerettes to wait on them hand and foot in the accommodation of their choice.

We’ve a really impressive selection of Derbyshire accommodation with properties to suit all groups and all budgets, but to take a wild guess, we’d imagine the Prince and pals would opt for something a little more regal, such as our Country Residence that sleeps 18 in the most opulent of surroundings.

Whether you want to experience a Derbyshire and Peak District stag activity weekend living in luxury like royalty, or whether you’d like to sample simpler ‘outdoorsy’ ‘staging’, then get in touch with Hard Days Knight to plan a truly bespoke Derbyshire and Peak District Stag Weekend to remember.

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.
