“We booked three activities through Essential Adventures. The company coped well with several last minute changes to the numbers and were very decent about obtaining a refund for a very late cancellation. The paintballing and nightclub entry in Bristol went smoothly, but the comedy club only had us as entrants and the food and complementary beer had disappeared from the booking, which we had to sort out ourselves. Overall fine and I recommend them.”

“"Fantastic hassle free Stag do" All the lads had a fantastic time in Nottingham and thanks to Matt the process of getting it all organised was far less stressful. The activities went without a hitch (clay pigeon shooting and crossbows) and were great fun and the nights stay was clean and comfortable. I recommend highly!”

“Booking was easy and there was always someone there to help with any questions. The accommodation at Harford Bunkhouse was great, my class loved seeing the hens and peacocks around the farm yard and Julie, the owner, is amazing. The activities run by Backwater Devon were excellent, the children did not stop all day. Andy and Steph, the instructors, were fantastic with the children. Both adults and children loved every moment.”

“Very helpful with organising leading up to the weekend, then on the day someone was always at hand to ask a question. Day went very smoothly, stressful & everyone enjoyed themselves.”

“The weekend was great fun. When the weather was too bad to go kayaking, caving was arranged for us instead which was amazing. It was challenging, wet, muddy and lots of fun. The accommodation was just what we needed and we were given lots of yummy food. More information on the accommodation before we went would have been good to have though.”

“I was responsible for arranging a Stag do for one of my best friends and 12 guys (half of whom I didn't know) - so it had to be good. However the requirement from the Stag wasn't in the usual Stag do format and so I found most Stag event companies weren't geared up for our requirement or able to help. Fortunately I found Essential Adventure. The brief from the Stag was: "Something fun for us all to do in the day, a few beers, a nice meal and somewhere communal where we can all go back to and continue chatting etc." OK then, that sounds easy enough. However if you think about it, even getting the day time activity correct when not knowing everyone's preference can be tricky. Not to mention getting a reservation for 12 guys on a Saturday night and then somewhere communal we could all go back to without having to hire a Manor House. Matt worked hard in getting the tone right for us by giving possibilities, discussing the merits of certain activities over others and generally finding out the ideal vibe for the event. It may not sound extra ordinary but the choice really hit the spot. Everyone had a fantastic time and was 100% satisfied with the quality and value of the event. Most of all, the Stag, who had no idea of the plan, had a wonderful time. Activity 1 - Hovercraft racing Activity 2 - Clay Pigeon shooting Evening - Meal at a local pub (1 mile from where we stayed) Nighttime - 15 man teepee, in copse in the middle of a field with a roaring campfire For me, Matt took all the hard word out of planning a Stag do for 12 guys. He understood the overall requirement and was quick to respond with suggestions to any queries I had. I felt well informed of progress and that we were getting good value for money. A full itinerary and contact sheet supplied well in advance of the day, meaning I knew where we needed to be and when, taking away any anxiety and allowing me to enjoy the day fully too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend using Essential Adventure for any type of event. But especially bespoke Stag do requirements. In fact, I would suggest them without being prompted. Thanks Matt!”
