The Peak District, the UK’s first national park, is a sprawling natural playground. It’s well-loved for its rolling hills, rugged landscapes, and quaint villages. A Peak District stag do is an excellent choice for groups looking to combine outdoor adventure with rustic charm.
Whether your group is seeking thrilling experiences like rock climbing or prefers a more relaxed agenda of pub-hopping and scenic walks, the Peak District caters to all tastes. Its central location in England also makes it easily accessible for stag groups traveling from all parts of the country.
Choosing the right accommodation can make a huge difference in your stag do experience. The good news is that on a Peak District Stag Do, you’ll have a variety of options to choose from.
If you want to keep the price down, there are plenty of budget friendly hostels or camping options. However, for the ultimate weekend, we recommend booking a private Stag Party House. This gives you a base to cook big breakfasts, play pool, and relax without worrying about other guests.
For massive groups, check out Silver Screen Villa. This incredible property sleeps up to 40 guests and features a hot tub and cinema room. If you prefer to be near a town with pubs, Peak Star in Buxton is a fantastic option sleeping 18, complete with a billiard table.
The Peak District is packed with incredible activities to fill your stag do itinerary. Obviously, with it being a national park, there are a huge range of outdoor activities that are some of the best in the country.
Rock Climbing and Abseiling are always high on the list. The Peak District is one of the UK’s premier climbing destinations. Whether your group are experienced climbers or all beginners, all sessions include instructors and are safe, secure and a huge amount of fun.
If you want to explore the beauty of the area but don’t fancy climbing, then why not try Caving or Gorge Walking? These will allow you to visit some of the most beautiful areas (that are often off the beaten track), and will be a real bonding experience. Obviously there are the more classic options too – Quad Biking and Paintball are always popular for unleashing competitive spirits.
While the Peak District is best known for its tranquil charm, there are plenty of places to celebrate after the sun goes down. We’ve already mentioned the traditional pubs when talking about food, but it is worth re-iterating that the Peak District is home to an abundance of cozy, character-filled pubs serving local ales.
For something a bit different of an evening, you could always consider a visit to a local brewery. The Thornbridge Brewery in Bakewell is a popular choice, offering tours during the day and having a tap room that is comfortable, fun, and full of some of the tastiest beers you’ve ever drunk.
