How we calculate these prices
Every figure comes from our on-the-ground surveys during stag and hen weekends run in 2025-2026, not remote estimates. We refresh the ranges every season.
The total covers, per person for 2 nights: decent central accommodation, two group activities, nights out (entries and drinks) and food. Transport (flight) is counted separately as it depends on your departure city and how early you book.
Prices assume online booking in advance and a group of 8 to 14, the size where group rates are best.
