Exciting Link Ups for Stag and Hen Manchester

Well the last time I wrote this blog was during “Britain’s Big Freeze” and I encouraged all you hens to use the time you were snowbound wisely and start thinking about all those important Manchester hen parties for 2010 and boy did you respond. Thanks to all those that made enquiries and bookings with us in January and took advantage of our Bride goes Free offer and to all those that haven’t quite gotten around to starting to organise those perfect hen parties in Manchester get a move on!! J

Now the January burst is over I wanted to take this opportunity to add a few more blog entries before another rush begins and update you on a few developments.

Firstly Stag and Hen Manchester are delighted to be able to announce a link up with one of Manchester’s must see music experiences the Hard Rock Cafe outside the Printworks complex a very popular nightlife spot. As the UK’s biggest Hard Rock Cafe having a meal is definitely a unique experience as you sit in its 450 seat restaurant surrounded by Rock memorabilia from everyone from the Beatles to Manchester’s own now disbanded rock gods Oasis. Also boasting a 100 seat cocktail lounge and its very own rock shop it is well worth a visit. Find details of our special meal deal under the Manchester Hen activities and Stag Weekends Manchester pages.

Secondly we are also very pleased to announce that we are now working with The Birdcage - Manchester’s premier nightclub for hen parties. This ensures that should you want to visit whilst on your hen party that you can do so and we can organise that for you. Simply let us know whether you want to go on Friday night or Saturday night and what type of ticket you want and we will do the rest. Do bear in mind though that the Birdcage is hugely popular and will book up in advance so please make sure you book early to guarantee tickets. Details of our link up available on our Manchester Hen activities page simply select “read more” on the Birdcage activity.

We strive hard to ensure that we work with the best of the best and give you the choice for your Stag party in Manchester or Hen parties in Manchester and that work will always continue. Keep your eyes peeled on the website for more details or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.

Hitting 2010 Running

Manchester – Transport facilities for the New Decade

Manchester’s popular and very successful Metrolink service will hit the ground running in 2010 (excuse the pun) as a major 6 month project to renew all of the city centre track with high quality street finishes and to completely redevelop the St Peter’s Square and Piccadilly Gardens stops has finished on time.

This has given two of the most popular stops on the networks a sparkling new finish including top of the range touch screen ticket machines that accept notes, coins, debit cards and credit cards to make buying the value for money tickets even easier. The revamped Piccadilly Gardens stop will be particularly important for those Hen Parties in Manchester that are going to make full use of all the shopping Manchester has to offer and for those Manchester Stag Weekends that are looking to explore all the bars and pubs throughout every quarter of the city.

Remember though that although we recommend the tram system as the best way around the city during the day and early evening, trams do stop before last orders at 11p.m!!

Remember to check our guide for city centre transport options or just contact us to ask

A very happy 2010 to you all!

Keeping an Eye on Manchester's Busy Schedule

As we enter into another busy year in Manchester in 2010 Stag and Hen Manchester wanted to warn prospective stags and hens about checking what’s happening in Manchester the weekend of your prospective Manchester Stag Weekends or Hen Parties in Manchester.

You will be surprised as to the influence something as simple as Manchester United playing at home will have. Availability of rooms will become scarce which means higher prices and less chance of your group being together in the hotel of your choice. You also will see an influx of the vast majority of the 75,000 person crowd into the city centre after the game finishes. So Hens if you don’t fancy meeting a fair few merry football fans then pick another weekend or Stags if you hate United fans these aren’t the weekends for you! We don’t want to put you off your Manchester Stag Nights though or hens if the date can’t be moved we will ensure minimal impact on the enjoyment of your hen night. Manchester does have over 500 nightlife venues after all!!!!

We have also recently encountered a few occasions where large events at the MEN Arena do have a small impact on the availability and price of accommodation in the city centre. (A recent example being next years Peter Kay tour.) If you are planning to make an MEN arena event part of your Manchester Stag Night or hen weekend in Manchester then make sure you book well in advance to book the best possible, convenient accommodation. And of course if you aren’t it is still worthwhile being aware what is on the weekend you are going.

Keep tabs on the Manchester Guide section of our website where we endeavour to keep you up to date or ask us on enquiry and we will source the information for you.

Happy New Year from the Stag and Hen Manchester Team- We wish you a prosperous and happy 2010 and of course fun and unforgettable Manchester Stag Weekends and Hen parties in Manchester.

Silks Gentlemen's Lounge Grand Opening

SPECIAL OFFER - stretch hummer pick up from city centre location and club entry for only £10 per person. Call 0161223 0417 or email info@stagandhenmanchester.co.uk.

Stag and Hen Manchester has this week had the pleasure of visiting the latest Gentlemen’s Club to hit the streets of Manchester at its grand opening last Thursday night. Silk’s Gentlemens Lounge is on Lloyd Street by the town hall half way between the Printworks and Deansgate Locks this is a must for any Manchester stag night.

Its luxurious interior starts with the modern and elegant ground floor with a large well stocked bar, widescreen tv’s showing sport and stage with floor to ceiling mirrors where its stunning girls perform regularly throughout the evening. We were greeted with a free glass of champagne and very quickly were enjoying ourselves in what we view as a necessity on any good Manchester stag weekend.

As the evening progressed we enjoyed everything from a public stage show with a member of the team selflessly allowing himself to be the recipient of a public stageshow from the lovely Brooke,a dance perfect for any groom to be, to a visit to one of the many private booths for a sensuous dance which at £10 a time lasting one song are safely the cheapest in Manchester and essential for any Manchester Stag Weekends.

We also have a new VIP area to look forward to that will be finished shortly and can provide some additional privacy where required. Silks have also thoughfully laid on stretch hummers filled with girls to pick you up in town and deliver you directly to the club and come early in the new year we are looking forward to providing as a stag activity for Stag parties in Manchester a trip in a mobile strip club that will be housed in a double decker executive coach that can take you anywhere you wish to go with booze and women a plenty.

Remember Hens can visit aswell so if you want to arrange such a trip for your Hen parties in Manchester Please let us know and we can arrange matters accordingly.

Manchester stag nights will never be the same again so please feel free to talk about the best gentlemens club options available to your group on booking as certain conditions can apply so we will talk you through the best ones to suit you.

Then on Saturday after a leisurely breakfast have a browse through the Christmas market before heading for the classy shops in St Anns Square and King Street to see where the best bargains are on offer. Or head to the Arndale Centre for all your high street names and bag a new outfit for the big hen night ahead.

Feeling peckish? Well how about combining some nibbles with an afternoon cocktail masterclass to get yourselves into a party mood. Have a Christmas cocktail competition to see who can make the best one - it could be the start of a whole new craze!

Now it's time to turn to the important matter of getting ready for that night you've all been looking forward to - the hen party!

Stags play at St Andrews

I this week had the pleasure of playing the Old Course at St Andrews but instead of enduring the shoddy weather this week has brought to the whole of the UK including the course on the East coast of Scotland I was able to enjoy the unique surroundings of the Golftorium in Manchester close to Piccadilly train station.

The largest indoor golf centre in Europe and perfect for stags it gives you the chance to play such historic courses in the dry with beer served to you at your own table infront of the simulator.

After a brief introduction to how to work the simulator we were given our golf bag to share full of top notch Cobra clubs and away we went. As we had never played golf indoors before we opted for a few practice swings first and then we started the round off. First we picked the course, then how windy it was, whether we wanted a crowd, mulligans, gimmies, speed of the greens the options of personalising your round are endless. Then as organiser and director at Stag and Hen Manchester I was given the honour and I didn't disgrace myself with a drive of 214 yards off the first tee.

We ordered a few drinks from the bar as we hit the third and they were promptly delivered to the table just in front of the simulator playing area and we continued. Now I had better tell you I am not a professional golfer and in fact don't have a handicap but this was easy to pick up and tremendous fun even as the bogey's began to mount up. You have three different surfaces from which to hit the ball the fairway, the rough and the sand and we used these and got bemused faces when we asked which one we needed to use for the water!!

After three hours which is roughly what it should take for four people on one simulator we had finished all 18 holes and had our scores collected and printed for us. They didn't make pretty reading!

Depending on what time of the day you book prices start from £25 per simulator per hour but when you divide that by the number playing it certainly doesn't break the bank. We also make sure that wherever possible we split larger groups of stags across simulators so you can maximise your time and still play against one another.

For more information please visit our website where you can build your own stag weekend to incorporate the Golftorium or choose one of our packages which includes a visit to the Golftorium. The choice is yours!!
