Eastern European Cities Turn Away Stags – Come To Derbyshires Peak District

Article published: September 27th, 2013

America’s ABC News recently revealed how some European cities are saying ‘NO’ to Ryanair hen and stag parties descending on their region. So throughout the world, the UK stag and hen group is notorious for drunken and destructive behaviour. With travel websites and forums throughout the globe reporting stories of stag weekend members smashing property, drinking out of shoes and vomiting on everything and anything, it’s perhaps no wonder that a number of Eastern European cities are not keen to welcome such parties.

The article was however a little inaccurate, stating that there are activities in Eastern Europe that ‘you simply can not do in the U.K. High octane activities”. These included paintball, go karting, shooting guns, which is ‘difficult to do in the U.K’.

AHEM! Seriously? Have they seen our activities list here? You name it: rage buggies, sniper shooting, clay pigeon shooting, paintball. The list goes on. And on. And on! Derbyshire and the Peak District literally has it all and can match any stag and hen destination the world over for fun-packed activities and entertainment!

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.
