Man vs Wild Stag Party Weekend
Welcome to Man vs Wild stag party weekend, the ultimate adventure for the groom and his mates to embrace their wild side in the Peak District, Derbyshire. This package includes 2 nights of accommodation in cosy wooden Nordic cabins, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. Imagine a VIP caveman experience with plush fur trimmings, onsite toilets, and showers – not quite returning to nature, but definitely adding a rugged twist to luxury.
Enjoy exclusive access to your own BBQ Nordic cabin, where your group can cook over a real fire and soak in the spirit of the wild. It’s the perfect spot for bonding and creating unforgettable memories around the fire.
Your weekend kicks off with a full day of adrenaline-pumping activities. The Shooting Syndicate offers a half-day of excitement with five different target sports. Get ready for some friendly competition as you and your mates try your hand at axe throwing, clay shooting, .22 rifle shooting, crossbows, and traditional archery. These activities will test your skills and keep your stag party right on target.
Or if you prefer, and you’ve got a strong stomach, go for Sniper School. This half day experience puts you as a sniper in the wild, not only shooting targets a long way out using our .22 rimfire rifles with bi-pods and hi-res scopes. You’ll need a keen eye, steady hands and controlled breath to down the targets. Once you’ve survived we’ll task you with searching the grounds to source wild growing veg and herbs, and get stuck in with gutting rabbits/squirrels, skinning fish or preparing pheasants for your stewpot. We’ll provide you with a heartwarming meal using your wild-prepped ingredients, along with crusty bread rolls and butter. How about a pint or two from the on-site clubhouse to wash it all down? We’ll teach you about animal trapping, camouflage, sourcing water, preparing and lighting a campfire and shelter building. If you’ve got what it takes…..
In the afternoon, get stuck into our Woodland Assault Course. It’s a real test of ability, using the natural elements of the woodland to test your skills. It’s full-on and amazingly rewarding – can you beat the course record?
The Man Vs Stag Weekend is not just an event; it’s a legendary adventure that you and your friends will be talking about for years to come. Embrace the wild, celebrate the groom, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

I thought having to organise a stag do was going to be so stressful, but then I contacted Greg. After having a chat about what I wanted to do and the numbers I had, Greg understood. He put a package together and got me the cost. Even when I was adding extras or just testing the waters it was no issue. He just did his thing and came straight back to me. Nothing was a problem, always at the end of the phone to reassure and answer all my questions. Even there to assist over the weekend, when we got lost. Greg and his team made the stag do an absolute success, it would not have been so fluid without them. Would recommend in a heartbeat. A big thank you to you and your team, and thank you for the stories that will last a lifetime time. Lee Watts.

I got in touch with HDK to arrange a 20-person stag do having previously been on one that had been arranged through the same company. The weekend itself was fantastic, and the service, support, communication and attention to detail was absolutely outstanding. We hired the Matlock Manor House (Lea Hall) for two nights and were blown away by the uniqueness of the property. I've never seen anything like it and can barely believe we were allowed to host a stag do there. We wore appropriate attire, as per the attached photo. The catering company that HDK put us in touch with was great - reasonably priced and the quality was cut above any other stag do food I'd ever had. We were offered a wide variety of activities to add on, but rather than cramming in too much (we're in our 30s now!) we decided to opt for for a Saturday lie-in followed by an excellent fry up and an afternoon coach-based peak distract fancy dress bar crawl. Again this was organised perfectly with lots of flexibility to spend as much or as little time at each pub as we wanted, prioritising beer gardens in the unexpectedly good weather. The pubs were all happy to have us, despite half of us being dressed as Austrian Emperors and communicating only in German. The whole experience was really fantastic, and made so much less stressful than expected due to the hard work of Greg from HDK events. It would be madness to arrange a stag do without them!

The Manor House is stunning. We stayed as a group of “old men” on a stag party (a dozen 40+ year olds) and it was picture perfect. Great communal spaces, some stunning rooms, history and character oozing out of the ancient beams and floorboards, but with the comfort of really decent (4–poster) beds; plenty of hot water, WiFi, Bluetooth speaker etc. Our days entertainment consisted of a minibus-enabled pub crawl around some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. This was all organised very last minute- and the HDK team were totally accommodating. Great venue; superb customer service. Iain Wood
