Cambridge
Many people are surprised by the popularity of Cambridge as a stag and hen weekend destination. At Crocodile Events we like to think that this is proof of the fact that plenty of groups are looking for something slightly more sophisticated than the stereotypical stag and hen night.
You are unlikely to bump into hoards of hen brandishing “L” plates and stag do’s wandering with blow up dolls like you may do in some cities.
There is great fun to be had in Cambridge but you will not find a huge choice comedy nights, disco river cruises and male strip shows on our lists of things to do. Although, there is a lap dancing club for the stag parties (make sense of that ladies).
Hen parties love to mess about on the River Cam on a punting lesson. Or even take a relaxing tour of the college backs sipping champagne with a chauffeur doing the hard work on the punt for you. For those hens that want to be more active there is the option to get out of the city centre on a Charlies Angels event in the Cambridgeshire countryside.
The stags are less keen on the punting and often look to country pursuits such as Clay Pigeon Shooting or, Quad Biking. When the races are on in Newmarket it is a hugely popular choice with the stag parties.
Most of our groups tend to start their night out in Cambridge with a meal. We are able to offer a wide range of meals with anything from Spanish Tapas to Indian or Chinese options Cambridge is sure to have a meal option to suit you.
It is a good idea to pre-book your nightclub tickets (particularly, you stags) so, the venue know you are coming on your big night out. This will get you on the guest list and make you night much easier than splitting up and trying to get into clubs in dribs and drabs.
There is a good range of hotel accommodation in Cambridge although most is a walk or short taxi ride from the main nightspots. So, you can book anything from a guest house to a luxury hotel with leisure facilities. The choice is yours.
Cambridge is obviously most famous for it’s University. The early beginnings of the University can be traced back to 1209 so they have had plenty of time to get things right there. The University has certainly managed this and is regarded as one of the finest academic institutions in the world. As a tourist you can head off on college tours to get a feel for the life the academics have lived over the years. This is unlikely to be top of the list of even the most sophisticated of stag parties so maybe better save for another visit.
