Being a southern ex-shandy drinking soft tulipe type I've been to Brighton many times. Honestly, you will need some local knowledge before you go on a crawl down there. -

I've been on a couple of stag dos in Birmingham. If you want to go the races you could go to Warwick/Wolverhampton, or there are 2 dog tracks in Brum.
Book a travel lodge on Broad street and you are bang in the centre.Comment

I went on two stag weekends to Brum last year. Travelodge is pretty grim, as would be expected. I highly recommend the Weatherspoons hotel, which is the same price but 100 times nicer. Pretty close to Broad Street.Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostI've been on a couple of stag dos in Birmingham.

Think Birmingham might be worth a look for you. Broad St is as cheesey as hell and there are loads of bars.Originally posted by Qdos Consulting View PostI went on two stag weekends to Brum last year.

But you do also have the option of some nicer bars in Brindley place or the Arcadian.Comment

Or CityInn.Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostOr Jurys Inn
I arranged one there last year.
£59 per room per person for two night inc brekkie (2 lads per room)
A night at the dog track (free admission + max a tenner in a taxi to get there) followed by booze & curry on Broad St.
Next day: The offroad buggy thingies for a couple of hrs followed by pub crawling up/down broad st.Comment
