Espionage, Entourage and American Foodage





Stag and Hen Manchester’s blog has unfortunately lain dormant over the last two weeks due to a large amount of work being done to expand our list of both stag and hen activities in Manchester and due to a large amount of bookings very quickly approaching in by far the most popular month of the year so far May. We were tempted to try and fool you with something obsurd on April 1st but decided you would see through it.

So on we go to additions to the activity listings. Firstly came a dip into the deep and murky world of Espionage Manchester as we donned our finest spy gear and met up at an undisclosed city centre location to discuss how best to get a unique spy experience for you stags and hens visiting Manchester.

So the question is what is Espionage Manchester? Espionage Manchester is a fast paced hi tech treasure hunt around Manchester involving various gadgets, tasks and challenges. The city is divided into twelve different sectors where if you solve the challenges and are first to report back to mission control you win each particular city sector. The action is tracked and scoreboard updated real time and sent out to the teams so you can see at any one time what state the game is at. The winning team is the team to win the most city sectors in the time frame allowed.

Espionage Manchester will start off at HQ with a 30 minute team briefing before you are divided into teams and let loose on the streets of Manchester. From trying to find a barcode to scan on a lamppost in the Northern Quarter to getting Chinese translated in Chinatown you could end up doing anything. Half way through the morning of afternoon you meet up again at a designated rendezvous point at which the remaining challenge information will be released and then once time is up you will meet back at HQ to discover who has won and divvy up the prizes.

Half day packages are available in the morning or afternoon and it is an ideal stag, hen or even mixed group activity for those looking to explore Manchester during the day and who are a little competitive. Our advice the larger the group the better but games have been set up with as low as 10 people before.

Next to be added to our activity list came the impressive and stylish Entourage Manchester nightclub inside the Printworks. Reincarnated from its previous existence as Paparazzi this nightclub is ideal for those stags and hens who want to really dress up in their finest gear and be part of clubbing glitterati at the Printworks as you throw some moves on its sizeable dance floor to tunes from crowd pulling DJ’s. If you want to get some stag or hen props or fancy dress going on Entourage Manchester is one to avoid however. Up against the more mainstream and bigger superclub Pure it tries to differentiate itself by its glitz and glamour so girls get your gland rags on and head on down. Stags max group of 12 allowed so if you are above that not one for you.

Last but by no means least Stag and Hen Manchester were contacted about linking up with our favourite American Bar and Grill Henry J Beans Manchester and needless to say we jumped at the chance. We have been given a stag and hen package which includes either pitchersof beer or cocktails on arrival a fab three course meal and then a shot to send you off on your way and all for just £25 per stag or hen. That is if you want to go as with its sizeable bar and enviable collection of spirits and cocktails its hard to drag yourselves away a lot of the time.

Then not content with being a restaurant during the day Henry J Beans Manchester transforms into a venue to rival any bar in the Printworks as a dance floor appears as if from nowhere and a house DJ starts playing plenty of music to enjoy your night to. So even if you don’t want food and just a good night you can get entry for the special price of £2 per hen or stag if pre booked with us.

We are currently working on sailing, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, windsurfing and powerboating all at a venue only a tram ride away from the city centre so keep an eye out for further activity additions.
