Stag Party thats a house party!

Rockapotomus

Hi all,
i am starting to plan my mates stag party and want to do something a little different. We basically want to do a weekend long house party, that way we won't have to worry about people splitting up, getting in places etc.etc.

I don't know where to start looking for a venue. We are fairly flexible on location, although most of us will will be coming from Clare and Dublin. Another friend of mine has done something similar to this before, rented a big old manor near waterville in Kerry and we had a great time. I wouldn't like to do it in exacty the same place but would anybody have any suggestions?? Cheers!

Something like that would be my preference for a stag party by a mile.

If I was renting out my house, I sure as hell wouldn't want a stag party coming for the weekend

A big group of lads drinking in your house for the weekend, what could go wrong?

Are you just going to sit around the house all day, or would you go out doing stuff - hiking, fishing, beach, something like that?

Yeah no.

Only if its a house away from other people or families

Its a dick move to rent a gaff in an area and be up drinking n shouting all night while others are putting babies to bed, or up early for work.

A remote house full of men only.

Well, whatever cranks your shaft..

My husband did something like that for his stag a few years ago. A gang of lads, decks and guitars, slabs of beer +, garden games, footballs, hurleys, hiking boots, fishing rods, local pub for day 2 pints... A few of the same group have done similar since. That's those lads ideal party though.

They rented a little place in the middle of nowhere in connemara for his. Have done similar in leitrim and Sligo since.

I wouldn’t poo poo the idea as much as others here. I’ve heard of stags and hens doing this. Just make sure it’s a detached house a decent distance from other houses, you don’t want to disturb local residents.

went to a great stag in kerry in feb last
rented a house - slept 16 .
house was huge - It's not waterville btw

we did hit the niteclubs but was mainly a 2 day house party/bender.


host was top notch.
although we were all 35 years plus and had some decorum leaving the house in good nick.

PM me if you want link. I'm not putting it here.

The one and only stag I ever enjoyed was like that. Great weekend. We had a draw at dinner each day to decide who'd be first up to get the rashers on!

Oh the horror...a bunch of lads just wanting to chill out and have a few drinks together. How awful. Each to their own and all that.

Did that for a hen a few years ago near Carlingford. Cool house had a pool table, games room etc. Brought a playstation with us. We did go out in town but it was full of kids so just headed back to the house for the craic.brilliant weekend

A stags weekend .......... in a house??? I'd put one in my head by Sunday morning ........ after I've put everybody else there out of their misery first!!!

Call me old fashioned but what's wrong with drugs, hookers and waking up in a cell all of a sudden!??!! Kids today!!!!

I imagine some amount of narcotics are consumed at these

Was at one like this a few years back... weekend in a cottage in the middle of nowhere... Everyone was happy to leave early Sunday morning having had enough. It was okay, I only knew 3-4 people really well that were at it... but here is only so much sitting chatting/drinking you can do in a house all day with nothing to break it up.

A bunch of friends who can't even stand each others company while drunk.

You need new friends bro. Or is it "brah" these days.

Sunday morning in the depths of hell after.drinking solid for two days trying to fix broken things

No thanks

posturingpat

Sounds good to me.

What i can't stand with stags i go to these days is arriving and having a long list of events we have to do each day and a time table to follow, what a pain in the hole.
One event and then party away would be quite sufficient.
I had a stag back in April where we went playing football with big balloons around us, then paintballing and then go karting before having to go to a specific pub as there was a barbecue for us there, i was ****ed by the time we got drinking properly.
Next day we were expected to go do some obstacle course,needless to say most of us found an early house and let the other few at it.

Just man up and go on a proper stag.

sh1tty drug deals and fights with bouncers will only add to the experience

The problem with stags/hens is that they often bring together different friendship circles who don’t know each other very well. That’s the awkward part.

You forgot strippers

Cheers for the helpful replies and "constructive" criticism everyone! Some of you seem to get what we are trying to do, sure whats better than being in the one place with a group of your best friends partying for two days?? We are obviously looking for somewhere remote where we won't be bothering people and are mature enough not to destroy the place. The one I went on that was similar was hands down the best stag I've ever been on!

Would you ask him for the name of the hookers/strippers that deliver to those addresses?

Give us your ideal stag so?

You might have to rent for an entire week in any case though. Gives you time to prepare and clean up though.

My own stag and two of my best mates were in big cottages in the forrest in the middle of nowhere. Barbecue, beers and music. I'd take that over a pub crawl with the stag in a womans swimsuit or a ballerina costume any time.
