Derbyshire & The Peak District – Village Hideaways

If you haven’t visited this area of the country before, you’re in for a real treat. The Peak District and Derbyshire countryside is simply stunning. With rivers, springs, moors and dales at its heart, Derbyshire is known for having breath-taking views, pretty villages and bustling market towns.

Whether you are looking for traditional pubs, micro-breweries or specialist gin bars – we can put together a perfect route for you to take, stopping off at some of the greatest village hideaways, and even arrange the transport to get you around all evening, and back to your accommodation in one piece.

Derby

England’s most central city, Derby is a popular destination for get togethers from all over the country. The town is split into three main areas; The Cathedral Quarter, St Peters Street and the Intu Shopping Centre.

There are some great chain restaurants to visit inside the Intu centre along with a cinema and miniature golf course too. Our favourite place to head to is The Cathedral Quarter, full of independent restaurants, bars and clubs – a hive of activity in the evenings, with something for everyone to love. There is also a little hidden area of Derby, set away slightly away from the main city, called River Lights. The boulevard is set close to the river, with bars, restaurants, cafes and a casino!

We can arrange everything you need for your night out in Derby. We can make sure that you make the most of your time here and stay safe with transport to and from your accommodation. You can view our restaurant and bar suggestions here.

Nottingham

Nottingham, home to Robin Hood is fantastic place to visit for your hen or stag party night out. Much larger than Derby, Nottingham has something for everyone – from fine dining Michelin star restaurants, to budget friendly and wholesome pub grub!

With a concert arena, theatres, casinos, bars and restaurants – your evening out is set to be a good one. Nottingham city centre is not the only place to get your fix though, with some up and coming areas surrounding the city which are well worth a visit; West Bridgford, Hockley and the Lace Market up there with our favourites.

We can help you to have the best nights, safe in the knowledge that you will be taken back to your accommodation safely, and save some time with our queue jumping offering! You can view our restaurant and bar suggestions here.

Sheffield

The Steel city is a vibrant and creative place to be. The city itself is a particularly friendly one, with lots of culture to take in. With restaurants, bars, music and festivals – there is always something going on here.

You will see plenty of familiar chains around here, but there’s also a great selection of independents if that’s more your thing! Sheffield is the birthplace of the craft beer revolution – and has lots of quirky bars for something a little different. The Antiques Quarter is filled with café’s, independent bars and some hidden restaurants. Another must visit is Ecclesall Road, which is bustling with restaurants, bars and pubs, surrounded by green space!

When organising your night out in a strange city, it can be a little hard knowing where to go and what to do (without missing the good bits!). Let us take care of it for you, get you to Sheffield and back home again safely, with VIP treatment in Sheffield City Centre. You can view our restaurant and bar suggestions here.

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.
