Now we at Stag and Hen Manchester have all come to love the traditional Manchester Stag Weekend and Manchester Hen Weekend but more and more recently we are being approached by couples wanting to break the normal traditions and have a Sten weekend or Hag party in Manchester.

Now for those of you asking what on earth is a Sten or a Hag do/party/weekend is - Put simply it is a stag do with hens allowed to come to "Sten" or a Hen do with lads brought along "Hag" do. For all of you non-believers yelling "There's obviously no trust in that relationship" we say for shame it is simply all to do with getting everyone together before the wedding to make sure your special day is special for everyone and a lot of the time these joint do's end up being more fun than single ones!!

So how does it all work? Well you all have the same sten/hag accommodation, split during the day for separate sten/hag activities or depending on your wishes have guys against the girls at one activity then meet up for a meal and night out in Manchester together afterwards. As with the normal stag and hen do what is most important to Stag and Hen Manchester is that you end up with a fantastic and memorable event that is value for money and we will help you throughout to achieve this.

As an example we have a group of 9 booked with us "6 hens and 3 stags" where they are all booked in to the same luxurious 4* hotel across a variety of different room types - doubles for couples and twins for those that are friends of the bride and groom and in this case a triple to accommodate the odd numbers.

After check in the three stags are heading down to an indoor snow centre to try their hand a spot of luging and snowboarding whilst back in the city centre the remaining 6 hens are going to enjoy two hours of cheerleading with our expert, fun and friendly tutors.

Following that they all meet back up for a Manchester comedy evening which includes some food before heading out to enjoy the Printworks area of nightlife with some complimentary nightlife passes to Tiger Tiger.

So when considering your options don't let other people dictate what you should do, despite all the other things that you have to consider, its your party and you should get to have it how you want. Brides mention all your girlfriends the best man hasn't seen before are coming and he'll come round and vice versa Groom and Bridesmaid!

A Sten/Hag party in Manchester - original, modern, sensible and still huge fun!!
