Bristol Stag Weekends

stag10Stag weekends are best held at places with a vibrant nightlife – a must to make bustling parties a raging success. That makes Bristol (an industrial city and port in southwestern England near the mouth of the River Avon) one of those places that are much sought after for holding stag weekends; with its beautiful setting and friendly locals, the storming city of Bristol is currently a hot favorite among people willing to go the whole hog.

For stag weekends Bristol, the best way is to go by a car via the M4 and the M5; these two highways grant easy access to both east-west as well as north-southwest sides. In case you want to avail the train, you must be either at London Paddington or at London Waterloo to start from. From there, the route should be towards either Bristol Parkway or towards Bristol Temple Meads, which is also close to central Bristol.

The reasons that make Bristol stand out from the rest of the places are its daytime activities. A Bristol stag weekend is incomplete without the driving experience; so choose yours from a vast array of 4 x 4-s, quad bikes and mud buggies. It provides for rolling through the Bristol countryside in your most preferred way. The next set of activities includes clay pigeon shooting, since the option is available at the venue itself.  Else, just a stroll around the Bristol fairways and playing golf should provide enough excitement to make your day.

The evenings at Bristol are incomplete if proper accommodation is overlooked; it doesn’t pay to experience the bars at and around Baldwin Street and St. Nicholas Street and then spend the night under the sky, unless you intend to. For a more retro feel, there is also a large concentration of old-fashioned pubs off Park Street and Park row; also at the Berkeley Square. The best way to visit them is to start in this area, winding down slowly towards the harbor-front that features the best late night bars and casinos. That way you can have a good time at each place while still leaving the best for the last so you can sign off with a bang at the end of your stag weekend.

The city of Bristol also has a number of themed bars, clubs and restaurants; if you are up for some different kind of pleasure, nothing shall prove better than these.
