Traditionally referred to as the bride or groom’s ‘last weekend of freedom,’ we feel privileged to be part of this special time for groups of friends and family. We love to welcome stag and hen groups to Graythwaite Adventure, being part of the magic, and working with the bridesmaids and best men to help create an experience that will make it a weekend to remember (for all the right reasons!). You can join us for a single activity, or you may wish to spend a half or full day with us, or even allow us to help look after every element of your weekend from collecting you from the train station on Friday afternoon to returning you back there on Sunday.
Designed specifically around your requirements, we’re happy to combine our own activities with off-site attractions and experiences to create your perfect itinerary. On Graythwaite Estate, we offer the following experiences: any of which are great fun for groups.
Cottage accommodation, on the estate
Local dining suggestions, there are so many great places to choose from!
Transport throughout the weekend
Brewery and distillery visits
And much more.
