There was a time when a stag do or hen party meant a simple night on the tiles not too far from home. Nowadays, things have changed.
A pre-wedding party often means a full weekend away, with organised activities or even outdoor-based challenges. All of this means that YHA is well-positioned to provide fantastic group accommodation for stag and hen groups who are looking for a weekend in the mountains or hills, or by the coast.
