Stag Do Activity FAQs

Choosing the Best Stag Activities for Your Group

At StagWeb, we've sent over 700,000 people off on their pre-wedding stag celebrations since 2002.

We know that no two groups are the same when it comes to choosing their stag do activities, so we'll work with you to find the experiences that the guys will love.

What Would Your Group Prefer?

1. Popular Stag Classics
2. Unique Experiences
3. Adrenaline-Pumping Action
4. Beers, Beers, Beers

... or how about a mix and match of all four?!

Are You Staying in the UK or Heading Abroad?

Whilst some of our stag do ideas are available pretty much everywhere, we have some awesome adventures that are only found in certain destinations.

Budapest, for example, is the king of unique adventures with epic activities like the Trabant Rally, AK47 Shooting or the hilarious Stag Arrest on offer.

In the UK, you can head to London for a Breaking Bad Cocktail Party, bounce up to Birmingham for a Peaky Blinder weekend, or try out Bristol for a Horror Escape Game... if you dare!!

If you haven't already, be sure to explore our handpicked stag do destinations and find the location that's perfect for your badass weekend.

What Stag Do Activity Would the Groom Want to Do?

Insanely, loads of best men forget the weekend is about the groom and what he wants to do.

They get swayed and pushed around by the other guys in their group who can't agree on anything.

Think what the groom would want to do, or straight up ask him what he wants to do, and book it in.

• If the groom's a big footy fan, check out our best Football Stag Activities
• If the groom's a big racing fan, check out our best Motorsport Activities
• If the groom's a big COD fan, check out our best Shooting Activities
• If the groom's a big adventurer, check out our Great Outdoor Activities
• If the groom's a big watersporter, check out our Wet & Wild Adventures

... and if the groom's a bit of a pain in the a***, Stich Him Up!!!

How Many Stag Do Activities Should You Choose?

For various reasons, we wouldn't recommend doing more than three stag activities in a day!

1. Consider Timings - how long each activity is, how far apart they are, how you're getting to each one, etc. (with StagWeb, we sort it all out for you).
2. Consider Enthusiasm - whilst the guys will be up for doing some activities, too many is a sure-fire way for people to lose interest and get bored.
3. Consider Cost - obviously, the more activities you do, the more your weekend will cost. If you're doing a one-day event, you can try and cram more in; if you're doing more than one day, you can spread them out.

There's no hard and fast rule, to be honest, just make sure it's feasible, affordable, and not going to bore or annoy people.

What About Activities for Mixed Age Groups?

Yes, whilst a group of guys in their mid-twenties might want to be sprinting around in a chaotic Paintball or Bubble Football session, it may not be suitable for groups with a bigger age range.

Consider who's going and what they're physically capable of.

We have loads of great options available that are perfect for all ages, so have a browse or speak to one of our specialists and they'll be able to advise.

Why Book Your Stag Do Activities With StagWeb?

StagWeb are the no.1 stag planners in the UK, and we've sent well over half a million people off on their big celebrations since 2002.

When it comes to our stag do activities, we only use the best suppliers about and ensure they all meet our very high standards before we welcome them on board.

We take each and every review and piece of feedback very seriously and work closely with our suppliers to ensure their activities are always at the highest possible standard.

By booking with StagWeb, you could even save your group a stack of money as we have great deals in place with many of our suppliers and pass the savings straight on to you.

Booking Solo is a Nightmare!

When you book your big weekend solo, it can be an absolute nightmare.

Rather than each stag paying us directly using our simple individual payment system, you'll have to pay out for each element of the weekend, then spend weeks chasing people up to pay you back.

F*** that!

Let StagWeb do the hard work for you, and then each stag pays us directly, so you don't have to bother having to nag people to give you your hard-earned money.

Your Money is Safe With StagWeb!

StagWeb are ABTA bonded (ABTA are the UK's biggest and most reputable travel regulator) meaning we're held to the highest industry standards, so you can rest easy knowing your money is safe.

When guys book loads of stag activities solo, often they won't check to see whether the company they're booking with has the required protection, only to find themselves out of pocket when something goes awry.

Don't get caught out - book with a company you know you can trust.

If you want to know more, check out this speedy article about why ABTA Protection is a must on your big weekend.

StagWeb are the Stress-Free Choice!

With StagWeb, planning that big celebration is a breeze.

You're still in complete control, choosing what you want to do and where you want to go, we simply do all the hard work bringing it all together and booking it in for you, saving you time and a whole heap of hassle.

All you need to do is send us a speedy enquiry for telling us where you're going, what you're doing and roughly how many of you there'll be (yes, we say roughly as we don't even need final numbers until six weeks before your event - we know people are flaky and will drop out!!), and we'll sort the rest.

After you've submitted your enquiry, our Destination Specialist for that location will use their expert local knowledge to put together the best weekend possible. Once you're happy and book it in (with just one small deposit), you'll then be handed over to your very own Event Manager who will be on hand to guide you through the rest of your event.

Why burden yourself with all the stress of booking solo?!!

Send us your enquiry today and we'll take all the pressure off of your shoulders!
