The Great Outdoors – Derbyshire’s Peak District Hen and Stag Weekends

Article published: June 7th, 2013

Derbyshire’s all about the great outdoors. Its a beautiful region and it’s about this time of year when many of us start thinking about spending some time under canvas, closer to nature, watching the stars and even enjoying a good camp fire. Now we’re not gender stereotyping here, but if you’re planning a Derbyshire stag weekend then you might want to look into our army tents; rugged, highly featured canvas tents that sleep up to 8 people.

But if the word ‘glamping’ forms part of your vocabulary and you’re planning a Derbyshire hen do weekend, then our tipis might just be the ticket. Sleeping up to 5 adults and with log burning facilities, you’ll be sure of a warm and snug night’s sleep after a day of great activities.

So yes, the beauty of either of these is they are close by to a heap of outstanding activities including; clay pigeon shooting, black powder clay pigeon shooting, blitz buggies, extreme 4×4 driving, hover crafts, .22 rifles, archery and crossbows and even sniper school!

So don’t rest on your laurels this summer. Plan a Derbyshire hen do, or Peak District stag weekend with some substance. Get in touch for more information.

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.
