Ten Top Transport Tips
Our helpful hints should you need them.
1. Everything in the city centre is within walking distance - it just depends how much time and energy you have got.
2. Trams tend to be quicker than buses.
3. Always buy a ticket for the trams as there are regular inspections.
4. Trams shut before closing so they won't be around for your trip back to your bed!
5. Taxis can be expensive with heavy traffic.
6. At the end of your night out use manned taxi ranks - there will be a queue but it's quicker.
7. Always check fares in taxis before you go anywhere to avoid high fees and unlicenced taxis.
8. Why use pay buses when there is a free shuttle bus service.
9. Check out transport info for your planned visits so you're well in the know.
10. Check our website before you come for news on any disruption.

Stag Party Good Times With Stag and Hen Manchester
Taking each element at once Paul's group arrived in Manchester via train and thanks to a swift tram ride and short walk to Castlefield in the city centre the group arrived early at the hotel at about 12.30pm. As with most of our bookings they were able to check in early but even if they couldn't have done they would have been able to store luggage until they could. With twin rooms B&B and free access to the health club it was ideal for their needs. Then bang on 1.30pm our travel firm picked the group up for the short ride to their first activity in some woods out in West Manchester- Clay Pigeon Shooting.

Once at the Clay Pigeon Shooting club in west Manchester in picturesque woods the experienced staff including ex Olympic medallists greeted the group and hand out the necessary equipment before giving the essential safety briefing before it is out to the many traps to start the session. The entry level option for Clay Pigeon Shooting "Have a Go" gives each Stag in Manchester doing Clay Pigeon Shooting 25 shots with full instruction and you needn't worry because even I with my glasses started to hit the targets a few shots in. With 11 guys the session lasts about 1.5-2hours and as with all our clay pigeon shooting bookings the included transport comes back to pick you back up to take you into the city centre again.

Once back in town a short walk away from the hotel found the lads at one of Manchester's finest casinos where met by a host the group first of all signed in with their photo ID - (a must for all casino and poker packages) before a dealer,a private table, all the necessary equipment and a free drink all greeted them as they walked in. Paul and his mates decided to have a quick learn to play refresher course before they all kicked into a tournament with £5 per person prize money they had as standard and added another £5 per person on arrival. Paul ended up winning by all accounts and a kitty for the evenings drinks suddenly came into being.

To finish off the evening the lads headed to one of the main areas of nightlife in Manchester the Printworks. Within the Printworks is Manchester's only city centre superclub Pure where three dancefloors, three bars, a variety of music with a sound and lighting system to rival any out there and Manchester's finest women awaited them. By all accounts a good night was had or at least the bits they told me left me with that impression.

Like what you hear stags and want your Manchester Stag night, Manchester stag weekend, Manchester Stag Party, Manchester Stag do or even private party to do the same then let us know after all the boys paid only £130 PER STAG!!!
