Anyone in the Wrexham, Llangollen, Oswestry Area?

Arranging my stag do and it looks like we're heading to an activity centre in Llangollen doing some quad biking and rafting.

The dilemma we're stuck with at the minute is where do we stay, we need to be able to go out an get more than tipsy on the Friday and Saturday also a special request for some lap dancing lady fun.

People of the area unit and inform me of where around there has a good nightlife and cheap accomodation.

The only options for night out/getting drunk really will be Wrexham. Chester is possible if you get a mini-bus taxi. LLangollen is not really a big night out sort of place.

As for places to stay, that depends on whether you want to be able to just walk to a night out or take taxis. Give us a steer?

If you are going rafting, DO NOT go rafting at LLangollen, it is short and crap. Water levels are really low at the moment so walking down the river is more exciting! Go to the Canolfan Tryweryn near Bala, 30 minutes drive from LLangollen -water is guaranteed by dam release and is much better anyway.

When Kayla and I went to meet Pants on one of our weekends in Wales, he told us to go to this place Matt, it looked a lot of fun, there were people out whilst we were watching too, it looked reallllllllll good.

+1 Mile end mill is a bit rubbish, infact completely rubbish at anything other than spate.

Plus the fact that Jimmy Jayes and his new partner at White Water Active are complete fecking shiesters.

On another note when we trained in the area we used to rent an awsome house/bunkhouse on the Hill south of the river. It has room for about 40 people, a lady dorm of 20 and a mans of 20.

It also has a pool table, table tennis and dart board. I'll try and find the details, right spooky place. It literally 1 minutes walk to the resturants and pubs.

I went on a stag do in Oswestry last year and for a very small place, it is a surprisingly good night out.

Wrexham isn't the best place for a night out, although there are plenty of watering holes there. I lived between Mold, Chester and Wrexham for about 8 years and after trying all 3 on (too) many occasions I'd say get into Chester.

Personally, if its somewhere cheap and cheerful you're after I'd pick one of the activity centres further into Snowdonia, there used to be a good one near Llanwrist, and stay over in Llandudno. Extra hour and a bit to travel but another option.

Awsome LP, thats exsactly what sort of stuff I want.

It'd be handy if we were to stay as close to the nightlife areas as possible, that way the day out is the excursion and not the other way around.

Llandudno is that a good night? does it have all the appealing factors a stag do requires?

I think the only place that will have lap dancing ladies will be Chester. Wrexham certainly did not, but has a seamier side (I drove taxis there after being made redundant a few years back) if that floats your collective boats. You are less likely to have a fight in Chester than Wrexham too. TBH Chester, while more expensive, will be more geared up to stag parties. LLandudno has plenty of facilities for a good night out, but the clubs are a bit tired and sometimes it can be eerily quiet, as if everyone has decided to go elsewhere for the night! I can probably answer questions about all your locations so far as I have personal experience of them all and family in most.

That rafting place you recommended Mike looks mint, spoke to one of the lads and he recons if we sack off the 2nd activity and then stay in Chester we could do a casino or something in the evening then its not really costing people a fortune if they dont want to spend it.
It does however mean we'd be travelling over on the Friday, having a night in Chester getting up and spending another hour travel to go rafting then the same back to chester .

Does that sound like a good plan?
