    Help Suggestion for long lads weekend in England?

    I'm hoping to go away on a long weekend with about 6 mates some time in June or July (we're aged 24-26). We're just looking for somewhere reasonably cheap to party and have a good time. I had a look at Butlins adult weekends, not sure if it'll be any good though? http://www.bigweekends.com/the-dates/

    Preferably we want to stay somewhere by the coast, Bournemouth is also an option we're considering.

    I'd be really grateful for any suggestions, cheers.

    EDIT - mod, please move to going places. I forgot we had that forum, sorry about that.

    Bogner, Skegness or Brighton.

    Anywhere else "beachy" will be dull for that sort of thing. Southend maybe, but it's pretty crap there as there's not that much to do.

    York, Bath or other studenty places might be good city type places.

    Trust me, Southend is a shithole, steer well clear

    Brighton would be a laugh, not been myself but my mates went on a stag there. Nottingham is apparently a good night out. I went on a lads weekend to Raps town (Stoke), that was fun. Lots of bars there, pretty lively and Alton Towers is a 15 min drive from the town.

    Chicagos in Stoke had £1 for any drink, this included vodka red bull etc. so we got tanked.

    Oh and Bristol has a good nightlife if you go to the right areas, very busy on a fri/sat night and full of dirty sluts

    Agreed! Steer well clear of that dump. Not near the coast but Nottingham is supposed to be good

    Bristol is really good and there is a premier inn bang in the city centre which will be cheap and can sleep 3 in a room. Loads of students and young slaaags plus lots of bars on the water front so you get the water but no sand. It'll be much classier a night out than Blackpool etc. There is a good lap dancing club in the centre as well

    edit to say there are good train links into Bristol from London as well so its only an hour away.

    If you do choose Bristol the Harbour festival is on from 30th July until 1st of August & that is just an excuse for about 70% of the population of Bristol to hit the waterfront bars on a mass weekend long drinking sesh.
    Oh and theres definately more than one strip club in Bristol (not that i frequent them haha)
    Not to mention quite a few Massage parlours
