May 'Most Popular Month For Hens And Stags'

A survey has found the month of May is the most popular when it comes to hosting hen and stag parties.

The survey, which was carried out by chillisauce.co.uk also found that the respective parties are set to be more expensive than ever.

It is thought a total of 220,000 people will attend hen or stag parties in the UK this month, pumping £60m into the local economy.

The money will be spread across bars, restaurants, travel, accommodation, activities and fashion, while much will also be spent on fancy dress costumes, adventurous group outings and partying the night away.

It also found the most popular destinations include Bournemouth, Nottingham and Newcastle for stag parties and London, Brighton and Bristol for hens.

Chillisauce CEO James Baddiley said: "We have been organising hen and stag events for more than 10 years and we have never had so many groups out at once.

"With more and more people opting for an organised stag or hen party and June being the beginning of wedding season, it seems May is always a favourable time to plan a hen or stag weekend.

"Despite the recent recession we have seen continual growth in our industry and I think this is definitely set to continue.

"It is good news for local economies too, with partygoers spending money on local accommodation, transport, activities and events, as well as splashing their cash in bars and restaurants."

According to figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), celebrations will reach a peak in May as it is close to the start of the traditional wedding season.
