Why should I pick a Cheltenham Stag Do? That’s what you are asking isn’t it. Aren’t you amazed that I can hear your thoughts through the browser?
I’m only kidding, of course, that would be impossible. I’m just very good at guessing what you are thinking.
But I can understand why you might be thinking that – after all, while Cheltenham is a reasonably well known UK destination, it’s probably not topping anyone’s Stag Do Destinations list any time soon. But that’s not really fair to Cheltenham. This town has been welcoming stag dos for years now, and is known within the industry as one of the best kept secrets. More and more Cheltenham stag weekends are booked every year, and you should definitely think about being one of those.
Obviously it is well known for the Cheltenham Festival and the other horse racing events it offers throughout the year (and we’ll get to those), but the other selling points of a Cheltenham Stag Do are just as persuasive. It’s easy to get to (no matter where in the country you may be travelling from), it’s a friendly and fun destination and it really knows how to show you a good time – which, after all is the most important thing for any stag do destination to know how to do.
Just like many other UK Stag Weekend Destinations, Cheltenham has a great selection of accommodation options that suit all budget types. It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for somewhere posh where you can all lounge in luxury, or somewhere that just provides a bed and a bathroom (and keeps the budget down), whatever you are after for your Cheltenham Stag Do, we can easily arrange it for you.
The other good news is that all of the accommodation options in Cheltenham are located pretty centrally, so whether you need to get back and get changed after a messy game of paintball or just need somewhere that you can stagger back to after you fall out of a nightclub in the early hours of the morning, Cheltenham’s accommodation options are definitely going to provide exactly what you need.
The great thing about a Cheltenham Stag Do is that the list of activities that you can arrange is absolutely huge, meaning that whatever you enjoy you’ll be able to arrange things that are perfect for your weekend away.
One of the most popular options is, of course, that old favourite Zorb Football. For those of you who haven’t yet had the delight of trying Zorb Football, then you really should. It is absolutely perfect as a Cheltenham Stag Do activity – after all, on what other occasion do you get to all enjoy a game of five a side football while simultaneously being shoved inside an inflatable ball, knowing that at any moment someone could launch themselves into and you will bounce around the pitch like a pinball? Alternatively, if you’ve done Zorb Football recently and want something a little different, why not go for Electric Shock Football instead? Again, this is a competitive five a side game, but with someone on the sidelines who is able to zap anyone they please at any point in the game, making it a whole new ball game!
If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea and you fancy something a bit more cerebral instead, why not give an Escape Room a try? The advantage of this activity is that as well as being a load of fun, there are rooms with different themes, so even if you’ve done an Escape Room on a Stag Do before, adding one to your Cheltenham Stag Do won’t mean you do the same one again – it'll be a completely unique experience for all of you.
But, of course, I cannot mention Cheltenham without talking about a day at the races. The Cheltenham Festival is famous, but what you may not know is that the racecourse is open throughout the season, so if you fancy a day at the races but don’t want to be going all out with the budget, why not pick a different race weekend? You can still experience the excitement and wonder of gambling on the horses, having a beer and just generally enjoying the day, without breaking the bank – which is always worthwhile!
Nights out in Cheltenham may not sound exciting if you aren’t from the area, but trust me when I say this is one of those dark horse nightspots that really offer something special when you go on your night out. In fact, they are a Purple Flag city, which means they’ve received an award to highlight their Evening and Night-Time Economy – which means they put a lot of care and attention into the nightlife that is available to you on your Cheltenham Stag Do.
To start with, there are a huge selection of pubs and bars for you – and there’s something here for everyone. If you are after the cheapest of cheap chain bars to start your night off, those are here for you. If you fancy a more classic local pub, they are here as well. A Craft Beer house? A cocktail bar? Wherever you want to drink, Cheltenham is more than happy to provide these venues for you.
And that’s just to start your night. There are multiple nightclubs in Cheltenham, with everything from well-respected clubs that play the newest music right through to cheese-filled clubs that will fill your ears with all of the best eighties and nineties anthems. In short, wherever you’d like to spend your evening on your Cheltenham Stag Do, you will find your ideal venue to drink and dance through the night and into the early morning.
