Stag & Hen Groups
Stag & hen adventures with a serious upgrade
Start the party at altitude. The perfect line-up of daring challenges to get the group properly buzzing, and a hell of a lot more memorable than the usual bottomless brunch.
The Lake District's most memorable send-off
One last adventure before the big day. Honister is the kind of place that separates the brave from the very brave, and makes for a story worth telling at the wedding speech. Pick your challenges, bring your people and let the mountain do the rest. Our expert guides are with you every step, keeping it safe, keeping it moving and making sure nobody bottles it at the crucial moment.
Epic challenges, endless banter
And a setting that makes everything feel bigger. The kind of day people talk about for years, not just the wedding speech.
You're in safe hands
Our expert guides are with the group every step of the way, keeping everyone safe, pushing where it counts and making sure the energy never drops.
Everyone's invited
