12 Jun 5 Entertaining Ideas for your Groomsmen (the day before the wedding)

The day before the wedding you and your maids may have ideas of pampers, manicures, total relaxation and possibly a few glasses of fizz to calm the nerves!

The guys, however, probably aren’t that interested in preening themselves and as long as they haven’t last minute speeches to write or gifts to collect there’s still time for fun to be had. Perhaps it’s something you could arrange as a last minute surprise for him and his lads. Sure to go down well with your groom and his friends too!

Here’s 5 ideas for them to have a last minute kick back around the Derbyshire and Nottingham region

Rejuvenate on a Spa Day

Most men don’t appreciate the satisfying calm of a R & R day. Who says Spa days are just for the girls? If your groom is one who hasn’t tapped into this side of things yet suggest somewhere like The Urban Rooms, their urban hideaway in the centre of Notts caters for everything from waxing to overnight stays. With their range of treatments tailored specifically for men the guys can relax, grab a beer or two from one of their bars and chill knowing they are going to be looking their best on the wedding day. They also have pools, steam rooms and a fully equipped gym just in case your groom needs to burn some energy. The relaxation rooms look an absolute dream perfect for unwinding and they offer everything from one off treatments to full spa and dinner breaks.

Treatments start at just £12, so no need to break the bank either!

Relax at Byron, Derby

The recently opened Byron in Intu Derby knows exactly how to serve up typical ‘man grub’ The burger bar in the Intu Centre in central Derby gives the guys a chance to sit back with a bottle of beer or some pints of American hops. Their laid back environment and mission to serve simple, tasty food well would go down well with any grooms party. If you are a little worried it will turn into a messy night they do alcohol free beers and ciders too and offer a takeaway service!

Putt some shots at Morley Hayes

Man time and a golf course seem to often go hand and hand so why not book them in for a days golfing. If you really wanted to go the extra mile you could book them in at the Pavilion too which offers Al-fresco dining with panoramic views of the driving ranges and Derbyshire countryside. The Spike bar at Morley Hayes shows all the latest sport fixtures so after a few rounds of golf they can grab a couple of beers and watch a game with the lads. The driving range offers golf tuition too so if he has always wanted to perfect his putt book him in for an afternoon of lessons.
