    hey everyone....

    need a wee bit of help. Heading to cork city for a stag weekend with anywhere between 10 and 20 guys... numbers not yet confirmed... anyways... apart from drinking and lap dancing (we have all that sussed already thanks) we need something to do for a saturday morning/afternoon.

    any suggestions would be great. Nothing too far outside of cork city though, we don't wanna travel hours to go do something.

    so what activities does cork have to offer for a group of 20/30 something males who will be slightly hungover???

    thanks :)

    Mass? :p

    This is like the 3rd or 4th stag query here in last few months - I see a niche!

    Wherever you end up that morning, head to Tony's Bistro on North Main St. for a slap-up breakfast. I'd say there eyes will drop out of their head if they see 20 come through the door!

    There's a waterskying centre in Dripsey (12 miles from city center). Also, there's Fota Wild life park(probably not what you had in mind, but great fun never the less). Inchidoney is an hour drive away and the surf is brilliant down there. Clonakilty which is nearby has some great pubs. City is lovely to stroll around in. Try the Franciscian Well and Brewary for beer.Has a lovely beer garden and dosn't have knackers.

    I don't know about that, seems like an awfully expensive hobby. :rolleyes:

    2 things, make sure yee not coming over on the Friday before Easter. Met a stag roaming the streets a few years ago with no where to drink.

    Other thing is I reckon the best activity is a visit to the butter museum. Ye will be laughing all day after it.

    A game of pool or snooker in the maradyke prehaps?

    Not been on the sea safari but whenever ive seen whales or sharks (always basking sharks) its been during very warm weather. Dont know if thats a coincidence or not.

    If ye coming from somewhere in Ireland and driving a drive down to Garretstown or inchadoney for surf lessons is a great laugh, highly recomended.

    inchadoney

    Inchadoney is slightly further but far nicer setting. Lunch / dinner in Kinsale or Clonakilty after.

    water skiing

    Colloseum on Mcacurtain street for pool / bowling etc.

    Check these websites out too.

    They transport you to lots of different activities.
