If you like to live your life down south then Southampton is as south as you can go without getting on your knees.

Petrol heads can get their fumey fix at Beaulieu Motor Museum and World of Top Gear, with motoring legends so close you could touch them. Smell the rubber, hear the V8 roar and get yourself in the motoring mood.

Then get your gearhead to the karting track and grease up those prop-shafts, for a heated head to head rag to the redline against your mates. If you get pipped to the chequered flag, de-stress and shoot your load at a clay pigeon range. Pump, aim and smash your target just like your first date taught you.

Next, take to the seaside city streets as the light fades and soak up some of Southampton’s naughty nightlife. No mermaids here, these Southampton girls have got legs and then some. Have a lairy lads night at a lap-dancing club or hit the bars and tank up with enough tipple to sink the Titanic.

Southampton’s ocean location is just an hour’s drive from London and if you chaps want to charge up your stag do across the channel, a quick ferry ride will have you in Europe, where the continent is yours to conquer.

Get down south for your stag do and let Southampton light up your last night of freedom.
