Stag Weekends in Manchester

Terry Christian-free since 1996

Cool, cloudy, club-loving Manchester. It chewed its own face off with glee during the halcyon days of the Hacienda and shat itself horribly during the resulting messy gang wars, yet is now looking (red-eyed) to the future with some major regeneration (such as the New Deansgate Lock area) and an unignorably confident identity - a Manchester stag weekend is always a "safe" bet.

Knowing your way around this bustling, energetic city is a must, seeing as it encompasses both the bad and the beautiful, but all you need is a touch of sensible planning a few months beforehand to stoke up the fun factor when the big date comes around. Nice and central for all your guests (it’s blessed by an international airport, don’t forget), steeped in sin and debauchery, and eager to show you a good time – that’s Manchester for you. Now, do you want a flake in that, love?

Manchester Information

A stag weekend in Manchester can boast such diverse goodies as the Rovers’ Return, the ‘Curry Mile’ in Rusholme (360 curry houses next door to each other!), the ‘Didsbury Dozen’ (famous pub crawl), the extremely gay Canal Street district, and the Hard Rock Casino, run-of-the-mill stag weekends are not what Manchester specialises in. If you want culture, they got culture. If you want titillation, they got that too. If you want both - we like your style!

With such a reputation for attitude-driven music, hip clubs and of-the-moment fashion savvy, you would expect nothing less than infectious, confident locals with plenty to say for themselves. And you’d be right. The thing is though, they also know how to party - which all adds up to a lethal cocktail. Care to try one?
