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
