Budgeting a Manchester stag, in short
Big choice, big nights; the tram keeps the taxi bill down. As a rule of thumb, 12 lads for 2 nights at a heavy pace in Manchester comes to about £2,793 all in — a suggested kitty of £190 per person. The single biggest variable is the pint (~£4.80 here), followed by how many nights you're out and whether there's a big activity or club night in the mix. Collect the kitty up front, in one go, and keep the rounding as a float.
