Bristol is widely regarded as one of the best stag and hen weekend destinations in the country, partly due to the fact there are around 500 bars and clubs, but also because there is such a huge list of things for groups to do during their visit to the city! From west country games to clay pigeon shooting, you are guaranteed a fantastic stag.
Top 10 activities for Bristol Stag Dos:
It is the largest city in the south west of England, and has a population of about half a million. Bristol is considered by some to be England’s most attractive large city, with a bustling night scene on King Street and Park Street, a vibrant harbour side and new shopping and entertainment developments popping up all the time.
The city is soaked in history and culture; with lots of museums, galleries and beautiful old buildings there are plenty of points of interest for you to check out during your stag weekend in Bristol!
Bristol city centre is filled with plenty of shopping, cafes, restaurants and bars to explore. There is also the Cabot Circus with its flagship stores, exciting new restaurants and huge cinema.
The city is also experiencing that café culture. Down by the harbour side there are plenty of waterside cafes and restaurants with great views and atmosphere that are waiting to be explored and enjoyed by stag groups in Bristol!
The city’s eastside is full of specialist stores selling food, fabrics and crafts of Asian and Caribbean influence. There is also Gloucester Road for an eclectic choice of retro clothes, fancy dress, funky gifts and clothes shops.
The Old City’s grand buildings surround the Corn Exchange and St Nicholas Markets, where there is always plenty of activity, arts and crafts, and markets to stroll through.
If live entertainment is your bag then head over to Colston Hall, Bristol’s largest concert hall and has played host to big names such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. As a stag destination, there is always a diverse range of shows and performers lined up to suit any tastes on your stag party Bristol.
For something a little different on your stag night Bristol why not head to the Bristol Hippodrome, which offers West End and Broadway productions. Alternatively all the lads could head to The Tobacco Factory, housed in a unique building (an old tobacco factory obviously!) the award winning theatre hosts a mix of in-house productions and touring productions from some of the UK’s most dynamic and exciting companies. There is also a trendy industrial style café and bar at the theatre.
Let us give you a little bit of history! Considered one of England’s core cities, it received a royal charter in 1155 and was granted county status in 1373. For half a millennium it was the second or third largest English city, until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester during the Industrial Revolution in the latter part of 18th Century.
Much of Bristol’s prosperity was built on its port, which has now moved further out to the Severn Estuary coast to the west of the city. The harbour side and docks were then regenerated into the hub of heritage and culture that they are today. The perfect spot for Bristol stag parties!
Why not take a walk on The Clifton Suspension Bridge over the River Avon; the famous landmark used as a symbol of Bristol. It spans the Avon Gorge linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. It was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and is now a grade 1 listed building. It has fantastic views, so why not take a drink on the terrace of the Avon Gorge hotel as the sunsets and the bridge lights up.
On your stag weekend Bristol you boys may want to explore a little further afield you have the countryside of Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire and of course the beautiful city of Bath.
Somerset with its rural attractions and coastal towns is just south of Bristol and has glorious countryside, home to the famous Cheddar caves and gorge.
Gloucestershire is just north of the city, home to the Severn Vale, the Cotswold Hills and the Thornbury and Berkeley Castles that might be worth a visit during your Bristol stag nights.
Just half an hour away from the Bristol is the city of Bath, steeped in history with its hot springs, Roman Baths, splendid Abbey and Georgian stone crescents set in the rolling Somerset countryside.
Just to give you an idea of what a great place Bristol is here are a few famous residents and former residents of the city – well, celebrities can’t be wrong can they!?
Derren Brown, Tony Robinson, Sophie Anderton, JK Rowling, Nick Park, Carol Vorderman, Cary Grant, Jeremy Irons, Anthony Head, Damien Hirst, Justin Lee Collins, Lee Evans, David Walliams and Matt Lucas have all lived in Bristol at some stage or another.
The city is also home to a few famous musicians like Massive Attack, Tricky, Roni Size, Portishead, Kosheen, Neneh Cherry and Alison Goldfrapp.
Banksy, the famous and controversial graffiti artist who is at the centre of debate about whether his work is art or vandalism is also from Bristol.
During your stag party in Bristol you’ll need to talk like the locals! So here are a few hints and tips to help you blend in!
Brizzle – as it’s known to the locals – has it’s own distinct local dialect. Fans of Little Britain’s “Yeh-but-no-but” Vicky Pollard will already be familiar with the dulcet tones of the Bristolian accent! Here’s a quick guide to how to speak Bristolian!
‘Awwright me babber’ or ‘Awwright me luvver’ (Alright my friend?) are Bristolian greetings.
You could then add ‘Ow biss’ which means ‘how are you?’
If you need to ask where something is just ask ‘Where’s it to?’ (where is it?) or if you like something just say it’s ‘gert lush’.
A few others are: Yer tiz = Here it isAs you are exploring the city you may find yourself in Bemmy (Bedminster), Embray (Henbury) or Taardown (Totterdown). If you are using the public transport, don’t forget to say ‘churz drive’ (cheers driver) as you hop off the bus!
‘A city of radical energy and laid-back confidence’ The Times
‘Small enough to explore easily, big enough to entertain handsomely.’ The Observer
‘Hip and savvy, the harbour city of Bristol could teach you a thing or two about life’ Fodor’s Up Close Great Britain.
