Prince William and Kate Middleton may have named the wedding day as Friday April 29, but now the big question is: where and what will the Royal couple do for the stag and hen  parties? Just how will the world’s most famous engaged couple celebrate their last moments of singlehood? What are the top stag venues? And what are the best bachelorette party ideas?

Speculation grew that Prince William was checking out Blackpool as a possible stag destination when he attended a Premiership football match in the city with friends. Online bookmaker Betting Pro has Blackpool at 50/1 as a possible stag destination with casino capital Las Vegas at 25/1 and Kenya, where the couple got engaged, at 33/1. The current favourite destination is London at 6/4 while Scotland is a 3/1 shot.

Adrenamag has some suggestions for adventure activities and destinations for the happy couple. Five stag party ideas for Prince William:

Edinburgh. As Scotland is right up there in the betting and the Royal Family has a strong association with the country, Edinburgh is a capital choice for Prince William and his stags. The home of shooting, golf and whisky, it would be difficult for the Prince not to enjoy himself here. And, as an ex St Andrew’s University student, it will remind him of tucking into his Scottish oats.

Newquay. Cornwall’s surfing capital is another top extreme sports destination. Prince William’s love of the outdoors is well known so he’ll no doubt relish the spring tides.

Newcastle.The party capital of the north, Newcastle is a favourite budget stag destination; if the Prince wants to rein in the spending and the Northern lasses, this could be the toon to be in.

Birmingham.The UK’s second city may not be high on the stag party betting stacks, but believe or not, it’s a top extreme party destination. Bostin’ night life as the locals might say, together with a range of four-wheel adventures means Prince William, and likely best-man Prince Harry, should check it out. And combine it with a visit to Prince William’s favourite football team – Aston Villa.

Brighton. London by the sea, Brighton has it all. Exotic night-life and pulsating activities. Oh and it’s by the sea.

Five bachelorette party ideas for Kate Middleton:

London. The capital may be top of the betting for her fiancé’s stag party, but Kate and friends need to get in there first. Shopping, shows, restaurants, discreet clubs, want more could an about-to-be Princess want?

Bournemouth. A girlie weekend on the south coast. Apparently hen parties like to travel around the resort in a fire engine limousine. This may help Kate get used to waving at crowds.

Manchester. The BBC is heading up to Manchester, Kate and her friends would no doubt be welcome too. It boasts one of Europe’s most colourful gay areas, where exotic hen costumes and pink outfits are what everyone wears.

Cardiff. The Royals have political considerations to consider, so a night in the ’Dif may spread some royal cheer to the Principality.

Glasgow. Kate met her husband to be in Scotland and must have lots of friends in the country, so how about a weekend out in Glasgow? A former European Culture Capital it has a lot to offer. A popular hen party experience is cutting a CD in one of the city’s recording studios. Kate could even invite the Fratellis over for a session.

Is there no limit to the reach of zorbs? (Large plastic things with people rolling about inside, for those who didn’t know.) US singer Pink arrived at a festival and zorbed her way to the stage in a zorb, couples are even getting married in zorbs. No wonder zorbing gift vouchers for zorbs are proving so popular.

Just what were the top Christmas gifts for 2010? What Christmas gift ideas blew the socks off the old pullover and hankies? As Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear may have not been your thing (although the jet pack might be) Adrenamag shows you a selection of top Christmas gifts that were guaranteed to set the pulse racing and stop the family snoozing when they unwrapped this Christmas.

1. A bi-plane flight. At between £199 and £595 a bi-plane flight wasn’t a cheap Christmas gift but it will be remembered long after landing. Click here for details.

2. Two-day survival course. Some people view Christmas as a course in family survival. But some lucky people got a real two-day survival course? If the family are into TV shows like Ray Mears or Bear Grylls, this was the ideal gift. The real survival deal includes the psychology of living outdoors, shelter building, water collection and purification, tree, plant and fungi uses. It’s the complete guide to staying alive without home comforts or, indeed, homes. A price for the two days is £334. (But free with both this and number one in our list is a spa day for two, so they’re really two presents in one. Of course, you may need the spa day to get over the survival course.) Click here for details.

3. Clay pigeon shooting. For those that were stuck for what to buy teenagers, Clay pigeon shooting was the answer. Clearly they were comfortable letting a teenager loose with a gun. Packages included the gun (of course), tuition and cartridges and are a reasonable £69. Click here for details.

4. Zorbing. A rollercoaster ride of emotions. The gift of a whirl in a zorb is like Christmas wrapped up into a large plastic ball. And, it gave the voucher holders something to look forward to after Christmas. Click here for details.

5. Horse Riding. The RSPCA warns against dogs as Christmas presents as they are often abandoned by Boxing Day. Far better to let someone try out an experience like horse riding and see if they like it. Then when they ask for a horse this year – you know it’s for real. Horse riding lessons click here

6. Showboarding. Some gave the guarantee of a white Christmas with a snowboarding lesson at a top indoor centre. The £62 lesson is a great introduction to the sport. A gift idea for teenagers and the young at heart. Click here for details. 

7. Skiing. A romantic gift idea. Many people like to go away skiing between Christmas and Easter, so these people were well prepared. A lesson for two cost £160. Click here for details

8. Paintball. Those that were stuck to know what to do for a family gathering and bored by the idea of sausage on sticks and fighting for the TV remote control opted for this. Instead of getting under each other’s feet, they got moving, hiding and shooting. Paintball is a great energy release for everyone aged 12yrs and over.

9. Bridge swinging. Ever wanted to push one of your family members off a bridge at Christmas? Well this was your chance to do it legally. For £89 you can many of you treated them to a bungee jump with a difference. It’s a fast growing sport where you swing from a bridge. Just don’t do it immediately after that big meal.

10. Body flying. Body flying is skydiving without the plane. You get to fly in a wind tunnel at speeds of 120mph. The experience starts from around £59.
