If you’re planning a stag party soon, this might give you a few tips.
Once a man gets to a certain age, it can seem as if their entire social life is dominated by stag parties and weddings and when it comes to the former, experiences tend to be quite varied indeed.
Some grooms-to-be are happy retiring somewhere where they can have a quiet few pints, others want plenty of activities to work up a thirst and others still want to go all out and make a lads’ holiday out of it; Las Vegas has proven a very popular destination in that regard.
Irish website stagparty.ie crunched the numbers when it comes to the destinations most favoured by their Irish customers and the top four won’t come as a huge surprise to anyone who’s been on a stag in the recent past.
Top of the pile is Carrick-on-Shannon in Leitrim, a destination so popular with stag parties these days that RTÉ even went and made a programme about it.
Next up is Killarney in county Kerry and to maintain the west of Ireland theme, Galway fills out fourth spot in the destinations most favoured by Irish stag parties.
Sandwiched in between those two great Irish towns in Prague, the beautiful capital of the Czech Republic, which is more than capable of catering for visitors who want to see the sights while making the most of the eastern European nightlife.
No disputing Carrick’s claim to the number one spot though; hardly a huge surprise really is it…
