Hangover Weekends

What Hangover Weekends does

Hangover Weekends Ltd is a UK-based event planning company that organizes stag do and hen party weekend packages for groups of friends planning pre-wedding celebrations. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Teesside (Stockton-on-Tees) with a registered office in Yarm, the company serves customers across nine major UK cities — Leeds, York, Newcastle, Liverpool, Nottingham, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, and Edinburgh — and has extended its offering to corporate events, team-building, birthdays, and reunions. The company self-reports hosting 200,000+ customers over 12+ years and positions itself as "The UK's Leading Stag Do & Hen Party Specialists."

The company's product portfolio consists of pre-built Stag Weekend Packages and Hen Weekend Packages (combinations of accommodation, activities, meals, and nightlife), a Build Your Own custom package configurator, Hen Party Houses (16–26 sleeper group accommodations with premium amenities), and a Bespoke Booking Portal. The portal is the central technology asset: it provides interactive maps, online itinerary building, party countdowns, room assignment, individual meal selection, and per-member flexible payment management, all secured behind a single £50 group deposit. The platform is supported by 24/7 contact and a dedicated event planner model rather than a fully automated self-serve flow.

Commercially, Hangover Weekends operates a direct-to-consumer model with revenue generated per booking via per-person package pricing (£105–£335+), non-refundable deposits (£50 group / £20 individual), and administrative fees on refunds. Customer acquisition is driven by SEO-optimized destination pages, blog content, and Facebook/Google ad tracking. All customer payments are held in a Protected Trust Services (PTS) trust account until booking fulfilment, providing financial protection that the company treats as a core trust signal. The business is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding, or parent company, and remains a lean operation of 1–10 employees.
