It has been a little while since the team at Stag and Hen Manchester have written to you stags and hens out there but it is down to the fact that we were delighted to spend a little bit of time using our knowledge about all things Manchester in a guest blog on another travel blog where you can also find cheap flights.
Look out for upcoming blogs about some hen party filming due to happen soon.
All the best for now from Stag and Hen Manchester

June 17th Important Date to Consider for Stag and Hen Parties in Manchester
June 17th doesn’t seem like it is an important date in the world of stags and hens and Manchester but it actually very much is. Why you ask? Well put simply it heralds the announcement of the fixtures for the next season of the Barclays Premier League and in particular the home fixtures for Manchester United for the next season of the Barclays Premier League .
This impacts on all you stags and hens out there as due to the invasion of 75,000 mad keen Manchester United football fans the city centre hotels ideal for use during a Manchester Stag Party or Manchester Hen Weekend immediately see a large increase in demand for hotel rooms and therefore immediately increase their prices.
This means that Stag and Hen Manchester can no longer pass on the benefit of our cheaper rates at these ideal city centre hotels on these particular weekends to you and your ideal stag or hen party plan will suddenly become more expensive which nobody wants.
Well, how do you avoid such a situation?, I hear you ask. Put simply you do one of two things:-
1. Visit our stag, hen or sten and hag accommodation pages to ascertain when planning your party whether or not your preferred dates fall on any of the weekends in Manchester where city centre hotels are either unavailable or horribly expensive.
Stag Accommodation - Dates to Be Aware Of
Hen Accommodation- Dates to Be Aware Of
Sten and Hag Accommodation- Dates to Be Aware Of
If it does simply change it to a weekend that doesn’t see a Manchester United game or major event.
If you are unable to change it due to your stags or hens commitments then simply move onto our second point.
2. Don’t despair!! Allow us to source you some stag or hen friendly accommodation within the near vicinity of the city centre but not actually in it. We have scoured the nearby areas for accommodation that has rooms on for example weekends where Manchester United play at home and is within easily reach of the town centre.
What do we define as within easy reach of the town centre? - well Stag and Hen Manchester define it as within walking distance of a tram or train stop, on a bus route or within a £15 taxi ride away from the town centre. Its accommodation where you will have to get in and out of town but it is chosen because of how it lessons that irritation of doing that very thing for your group. We have also been known to provide a minibus to a group at a very reasonable cost for use during their Manchester Stag Weekend or Manchester Hen Weekend which helps get to and from activities and the hotel and then the nights out and the hotel.
What is most important to us is you end up with a fantastic and memorable event at the right price and we will work with you every step of the way to achieve that goal. If you are still not sure visit our testimonials pages written by Stags and Hens who have used our company previously as they are the best judges after all!

Est at Trafford Centre - An Italian Delight at the Trafford Centre
Stag and Hen Manchester has spent a lot of time on the delights of the city centre of Manchester has to offer but has now decided to let all you prospective stags and hens know about the delights that are within approximately fifteen minutes drive/minibus ride away. A lot of people in this regard get put off by activities that are this far out as they feel it is too much effort and money to get there but with our local transport firm Swinton Travel we keep those transport costs low leaving you money to enjoy at your activity or on the following night out.
Starting this series we are going to look at a hidden gem situated within the Trafford Centre located within the Orient in the food hall – “Est”. Perfect for lunch or dinner during or after a day of Manchester hen party shopping providing authentic Italian food and drinks Stag and Hen Manchester found it to be a little oasis of heaven amongst 60 other dining options . Marie the manager and her team stopped at nothing despite a full and heaving restaurant to make us feel really looked after which fits in with our customer service ethos at Stag and Hen Manchester.
We decided to go with a couple of options from the Focaccia Rosmarino as we weren’t in the mood for pizzas but looking around there were plenty of healthy pizzas being devoured and enjoyed. We opted for a Ciabatta Con Bistecca or in English toasted ciabatta bread topped with minute steak and roasted onions and served with fries and mustard in a pot and the classic Mozzarella E Prosciutto or in English mozzarella and prosciutto ham. At £8.75 and £6.75 respectively we certainly felt it was more than value for money and utterly delicious.
Following that we opted for the Torta Vaniglia or in English Baked Vanilla Cheesecake with strawberries and Cialda E Gelato or in English warm Belgian waffle topped with vanilla ice cream, toffee crunch and caramel. Again at £4.50 and £4.95 there were no complaints from us and as we sat back in the pleasant surroundings digesting a fab lunch not wanting to move we were struck with how we had to let you stags and hens know.
So be it a Hen Party in Manchester or Manchester Hen Weekend get down to the Trafford Centre for spot of shopping and Italian excellence at Est! We are glad we went!!
