Nobody goes to Blackpool for a quiet weekend. The promenade runs for miles, the tower stands over everything, and the whole seafront is built for people who want to shout, laugh and be photographed in a silly hat.
A weekend, three acts
Friday
Arrival and the trams
Drop the bags and ride the heritage tram from one end of the prom to the other. Each person must hold a different prank card, and the groom picks his from a bucket.
Saturday
Tower, beach and stitch-up
Morning on the Golden Mile, afternoon on the beach, and a private room for our Ultimate Stag Stitch Up before the evening starts.
Sunday
Recovery rock
Rock sticks with the groom's name through the middle. Whoever drops theirs is on the coffee run.
Dares on the seafront
- Tower walkThe Tower has a glass floor high above the street. The groom stands on it and describes the view in a different accent for each minute.
- Donkey derbyDonkeys work the beach in summer. The best man writes a rhyming toast and delivers it from the donkey's back, if the owner approves.
- Comedy CarpetRead out the jokes carved into the carpet by the Tower. A groan means the reader buys a round.
- Arcade hustleGive every player five pounds of coins. The loser wears a sash for dinner.
What we offer here
- Ultimate Stag Stitch Up: shots, humiliation games and a few surprises for the groom, in a private venue.
