We’re all watching our pennies more closely and today’s Budget may not have brought much relief, but you can still plan a fantastic event on any budget!
Any group event, whether it’s a hen weekend, stag party or birthday celebration needs to be affordable for the majority of people.
Consider the date you’re choosing for your event. With most things there are peak dates and times of day, so avoid weekends such as the bank holidays and the summer months as these are likely to cost more. Check your chosen city for key events that might be taking place on the weekend you’ve chosen, if there’s a major event on then it will be much harder to get availability so prices will go up.
If you can splash out:
– 2 nights accommodation in a luxury self catering house
– silver service catered meal on the Friday night
– daytime activities on the Saturday
– meal out and then nightclub passes in the evening
– morning activities on the Sunday
Budget tip: Swap the meal out and catered meal for a takeway or just get a supermarket delivery and cook all your own meals in the house. Also, don’t forget to check if there are any food options available at the activity sites you’re going to – often you can get a really good deal!
If you’re on a slightly tighter budget:
– 1 nights accommodation in a hotel
– daytime activities on the Saturday
– meal out and then nightclub passes in the evening
Budget tip: If you’ve got your heart set on a whole weekend away, then see if you can make the weekend a bit flexible so that people can just do the activities and not stay the night in the hotel, or come down in the evening to join you.
If you’re on a really tight budget:
There’s no reason why you have to miss out completely. It may just mean that you decide to stay around your local area so there are no accommodation costs involved and then you can spend more on the activities and extra touches such as a fantastic meal.
Let us know what you want to do and we’ll try to find the best activities and accommodation to fit your needs. We will be honest with you and let you know what is and isn’t possible within your budget, but we’re here to help you put together the best stag party or hen weekend possible!
