Possibly one of the greatest urban myths of all time could be Nottingham's infamous 5 : 1 female male ratio. Still, if it was started as a marketing campaign by Nottingham County Council, it certainly seems to have worked. Although you should not expect ‘total’ female utopia, the number of nurse’s collages in Nottingham certainly means a fine bunch of lads will have plenty to entertain themselves with on a stag night.

Nottingham has recently received a lot of press as the UK's prime den of iniquity from the "Ban all drinking or this country is going down the pan" brigade - much as a result of the fact that it was the first UK city to relax its drinking laws - leading to a city centre with the highest density of licensed premises in the country - and party loving crowds to match.

Well, whether that is a good or a bad thing really depends on how you look at it, and either if you are out to have a good night on the town, or an angry Daily Mail reader who thinks the country is on a run away carriage to becoming Beelzebub’s playground.

As far as we are concerned Nottingham is a great location for Stag Do, with superb activities and one of the best nightlife’s of any city in the country – however, who are we to say - we will let you make your own decision.

Try to check out the bars along the canal side, the "Lace Market", Hockley, and in the market square. In particular, check out the impressive Pitcher & Piano which was once a church in the Lace Market.
