Please don’t encourage British stags to go to Slovenia! They don’t hate us yet.

Might be worth a trip then.

Why abroad?

I bet there are loads of activities you can all do much closer to home that won’t cost so much money and more importantly valuable holiday time!

Not sure I agree mate.


For instance flights and an Air BNB (fri, sat, sun, fly home mon) for budapest next june were coming in around £160pp. You'd struggle to get much in a UK city for that cost over a weekend. And I can't imagine it being as pricey to eat of drink abroad as it is in the UK in the areas we are discussing here...?

Albufeira is a safe bet.

When are you going?

Krakow another vote from me. Wonderful city full of history & culture. Perfectly possible to have a 3 course meal with drinks for less than £15 a head too.

Weirdly I was pondering both.

Also Budapest, anyone done that?

I had a long weekend in Budapest earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. My trip was solo so I didn’t go out drinking to much of an extent but they have ‘ruin bars’ which sound pretty good. It’s small enough for pretty much everything to be within walking distance.

Why does it even have to be a full weekend?

One activity, one meal, a few drinks.

This stuff has got stupidly overblown in recent years.

Well that's your opinion.


However we are all middle aged professionals with comfortable finances so why not? And most importantly it's what the groom would like, he didn't get a stag do with his first marriage so who are we to stop him?

The people paying! :rotfl:

Fair enough if everybody is genuinely happy with the plan, just one of my pet peeves that everyone’s supposed to be happy to pay several hundred quid and lose 3 or 4 days for these things nowadays.

Maybe i’m Just a grump!
