stag

Life at the St. George Reef Lighthouse — a so-called stag station where no women or children were allowed — was brutal and lonely.

On the last day of their girls' trip in June, the group befriended a stag party and were playing games, running around outside their accommodation and "being silly".

Hen and stag dos, like weddings and baby showers, are a chance to celebrate big milestones in our friends' lives.

The stag's antlers, now fully hardened and velvet‑free, regrow each spring, becoming more impressive with each year as new points called tines develop.

It was converted into a hotel in 1947 and hired out for birthday parties, weddings and stag parties, before being sold in 1999.
