I have always wanted to write a blog that is totally
dedicated to Stag Weekends in Brighton but
until then I thought I would at least start with a post. Hopefully this will be
useful to some of you best men out there that are planning a trip to the famous
city by the sea for your unforgettable Brighton stag weekend.
So Qleisure was established in 1993, we have been organizing peoples Stag Weekends for years now but only in Brighton. We have never believed in the 'middle man' and have always given our customers good, solid honest advice about our home city Brighton.
So what makes a good stag weekend in Brighton? I believe its very simple, organization and honest prices! We get so many groups that come to us who have booked a Brighton weekend package through an agency and have paid anything up to £30/£40 more per person than if they booked direct. Think how much beer that is lads!
Now I’m not saying that 'all' stag/hen agencies are the same because they're not but the simple fact is that they have to ad chunks of money on top of your activity package otherwise they wouldn’t make any money and they wouldn’t have a job. Lots of activity suppliers will give the agencies a discount but on average this is only £5 per person per activity and once this is hidden in a weekend package that £5 somehow turns into £30 and you, the customer are none the wiser.
There are advantages of booking an all inclusive package and that’s the time factor, you can choose a package, pay for your group size and theoretically it’s all done, nothing else to worry about just turn up and enjoy your weekend.
In my eyes the disadvantages massively out weigh the advantages. You don’t know where you are going to! Will your activity even be in Brighton (I doubt it) will your hotel actually be a 3 star (I doubt it) have your night clubs been chosen with the best intentions for your group (I doubt it). Your Brighton weekend package will be built based on the biggest profit margins for the agency.
Book Direct! Google is the savior! Use Google maps to check all your locations and if you have any questions then ask your activity provider for advice. We are based just 6 miles from Brighton, we grew up here we know it, and we can tell you anything you need to know about it.
I recently organized my brother’s stag weekend and because we booked everything individually we saved a lot of money, knew what and where we were going to and had a great time. Yes it probably took me a Sunday afternoon to plan the thing but we didn’t end up with any nasty surprises.
I feel this post has turned into a bit of a rant now but I hope I got the point across, book direct, save money and your Brighton Stag Weekend will be a massive hit with all the lads.
Here’s my ideal Brighton Stag Weekend:-
Friday
- Afternoon - arrive at Brighton train station
- Drop off your bags at your chosen hotel
- Belushi's Hostel / Brighton City Pad / Travel Lodge / Journeys Hostel
- Book a table at the Komedia comedy club to include dinner
- Do a pub crawl around the lanes and end up in the funky fish night club
- Breakfast at your accommodation
- Get picked up by Ace Travel and dropped off at Qleisure
- Paintball, Clay Pigeon, Lunch and Karting (all activities at the same venue)
- Ace travel will return you back into Brighton
- Book a dinner table at Donatello’s (good cheap food)
- Grab a party pass from 'The Door Guy'
- Hit one of the strip bars but only for 1 dance as this will seriously eat into your budget
- End up in a night club of your choice
- Walk along the seafront until you have chosen a location for brunch chat about your shenanigans and try to work out exactly where you left the Stag last night ;-)
