A stag do – also known as a bachelor party or stag party – is a pre-wedding tradition where the groom and his closest mates celebrate the end of single life. While the origins go back to ancient Greece, modern stag dos range from wild nights out to adventurous weekends away.
In the UK, it’s common to combine pub crawls, countryside escapes, and adrenaline-fuelled activities. Whether you’re into high ropes, hiking, or something more relaxed, there’s a stag do style to suit every group.
At Honister Slate Mine, we offer something truly special: bespoke stag adventures in the Lake District. From the dizzying heights of the Infinity Bridge to deep underground mine tours, it’s an experience that blends action, bonding and unforgettable scenery.

A hen do – also known as a hen party or bachelorette party – is a joyful pre-wedding tradition where the bride-to-be celebrates her final days of single life with her closest friends and family. It’s all about laughter, bonding, and unforgettable memories.
Though the modern hen do feels like a recent trend, its roots go back centuries. It wasn’t until the late 20th century that it became the stylish, fun-filled event we know today.
These days, hen dos come in all shapes and sizes – from spa weekends and wine tastings to creative workshops or full-on adventures.
At Honister Slate Mine, we specialise in adventure hen parties with a twist. Picture crossing the dramatic Infinity Bridge, exploring the mine’s underground world, and soaking up panoramic views with your best mates. For brides-to-be who want something truly unique, Honister delivers.
