Stuart Buchanan
We had an unreal weekend in Newcastle! Great company to book with and with such ease!

Great experience through StagWeb. I thought it was going to be impossible to sort a stag for 22 lads. But I did and it was made very easy through StagWeb. Competent and helpful staff throughout the booking, whether it was about late payments or general queries, help/response was extremely quick. Couldn't recommend this site highly enough! I had 22 very happy lads!!

🔥 Top 10 Ideas in Newcastle for 2025
1
Bubble Football
Can you strike a ball with the accuracy of Alan Shearer when you're trapped inside a massive bubble suit? This is the most chaotic game of footy ever invented and you and the boys will have an hour to show off your skills (and bounce the groom out the ground!).
2
Inflatable Games
From a milking relay race to dressing as a giant penguin and jumping through hoops, our inflatable games activity is the perfect amount of bedlam you need on a stag do. You'll battle it out across 8 games as you add a big dose of hilarity to your weekend.
3
Its A Geordie Knockout
These are also crazy inflatable games just with a Geordie twist. Think Total Wipeout but with more hangovers and fewer people watching. Whey aye, man!
4
Bottomless Beers, Pizza & Virtual Shooting Range
What more do we need to say? Bottomless beer for 90 minutes? Check. Bottomless pizza for 90 minutes? Check. An epic virtual shooting range? Check. It has all the ingredients you could ever want/need/ask for.
5
Go Karting
Hop in your high-powered 390cc Sodi karts and get ready to leave the rest of the stags in your dust as you hit speeds of up to 60 mph on this 1200-metre British Championship track. You'll get 15 minutes of qualifying before you line up for a 30-minute race!
6
Combat Karting
This is Mario Kart in real life! Think classic go karting - 500-metre track, speeds of 40 mph, plenty of power - but your karts are equipped with a range of boosts to help you fly past the guys. You'll have the ability to slow down karts, drop virtual bombs on the guy behind you, plus a whole lot more.
7
Paintballing
Grab your Tippmann semi-automatic paintball rifles and get ready to paint the stag red. There are 20 different game zones to choose from, from Wild West-theme to post-apocalyptic warfare, plus you get 100 paintballs each to get you started. Who will be the last stag standing?
8
Dodgeball
It's time to channel the 5 Ds of dodgeball as you and the boys crank up the competitiveness. As well as the classic games, you'll have a crack at a load of others like Bull Dodge, Last Man Standing and Dodge-Pin Bowling.
9
Beer & Buffet
The way to a stag's heart is through his stomach. This beer and buffet option always goes down a storm with the lads because it's the perfect way to kickstart a night. Not only do you get beers, shots and food, but you also get two hours on a pool table as a little extra.
10
Quad Biking
Will you be able to tame your ferocious Yamaha quads? You'll head out on 70 acres of tough terrain as you take on a range of obstacles that lie in your way. Do you have the driving skills to conquer the course?

StagWeb's Newcastle Destination Specialist
Meet Luke, StagWeb's Newcastle Specialist.
Luke has been across all things Newcastle since he started back in 2011.
Yes, what he doesn't know isn't worth considering.
Put him to the test on 01225 474200 (Mon-Fri 08:30 - 17:30) - Luke will be on hand to advise you throughout the process, so feel free to make use of his expertise.
✅ Luke's Top Tip for Newcastle
"Don't over plan! Newcastle is hands-down the best night out in the UK, so it would be a shame to not have enough time to visit as many bars and clubs as you can."
"Best to have at least one club booked just in case, but there are plenty of stag-friendly options."
🍺 Luke's Night Out Top Tip
"It's pretty much impossible to have a bad night out in Newcastle, but I personally would recommend starting in Jesmond, where the nicer bars are, and work your way into the city centre."
StagWeb isn't just a one-man band, though! Be sure to meet our team to see the full stag credentials of the guys behind the scenes and see just why 700,000 have partied with us.

Where to Go on Your Newcastle Stag Night
Bigg Market
Bigg by name, big by nature! Bigg Market is the thriving hub in the centre of the city with a huge concentration of bars and nightclubs. This is party central, so be sure to bring your A-game or it'll chew you up and spit you out in a heartbeat.
Quayside
Located centrally, down by the Tyne, the Quayside is a great place to head for a more refined drink before. Swanky bars and clubs are the order of the day, and you can get great views of Tyne Bridge.
Diamond Strip
This is where the Geordie Shore and football lot strut their stuff. It's a lot more VIP than the rest of the city, so dress to impress if you're hitting this district.
The Gate
A complex in the centre of the city with eateries, pubs and bars aplenty. A good place to refuel and re-energise before you kickstart a memorable night partying. Situated along from Bigg Market, it's a doddle to find and keeps you right in amongst the action.
Jesmond
Away from the centre, the area of Jesmond has a vibrant nightlife with the streets in and around Osborne Road a hive of activity. If you're staying for more than one night, it's a cool place to spend an evening, but it's slightly more low-key than the city centre.
Top 10 Newcastle Pubs, Bars & Clubs
🍺BrewDog
BrewDog is a solid option for a group of stags. You know the beer is going to be quality, you know the food is going to be up to snuff, and you know the atmosphere is going to be lively from the minute you enter until the time you leave.
Where: 16 Dean St, NE1 1PQ
🍺Lane7
This bouncing bowling alley is seriously good. It's not just bowling, though, this place has ping pong, pool - it even has a batting cage for crying out loud. Oh, not to mention, karaoke, darts, beer pong, arcade games and a load of delicious beer waiting to be sampled.
Where: 80-90 St James' Blvd, NE1 4BN
🍺Four Quarters
Arcade bars are great! Four Quarters is open late (2 am on weekends) and is packed with all the classics like Pacman, Tekken, Time Crisis, Guitar Hero, Asteroids, and many (many) more. You could easily lose a few hours in here, fellas.
Where: 54 Dean St, NE1 1PG
🍺The Holy Hobo
Located in Newcastle's coolest quarter, Jesmond, this cracking bar is a great place for a few afternoon drinks before heading into town. It's got a great little pool table, plus a stag-friendly food and drink menu.
Where: THREE, Jesmond Three Sixty, NE2 1DB
🍺WonderBar
One of the bars in the iconic Gate complex, WonderBar is truly wúnderbar. Expect food, tunes, drinks, darts, dancing, sports - the whole stag party shebang. They also welcome stag and hen with open arms, so you don't need to worry about being turned away at the door.
Where: The Gate, Newgate St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 5TG
🍺Manahatta
This cool New York cocktail bar is all about the party. Look out for any 2-4-1 cocktail deals and start your night out in true stag style.
Where: 9, 17 Collingwood St, NE1 1HE
🍺Social Bar
The décor is loud in this lively cocktail bar, so you'll know you've landed in Newcastle when you walk through the doors of this place. Expect DJs, dancing, and a solid drinks menu.
Where: 28-32 Collingwood St, NE1 1JF
🍺The Ware Rooms
Just because you're on a stag do, it shouldn't mean you have to miss out on any live sport. Don't worry, the Ware Rooms will have you covered with their big screens and cheap drinks deals.
Where: 17 Carliol Square, NE1 6UQ
🍺Bohemia
One of Newcastle's' leading bars/clubs. Bohemia is a partying behemoth and is for the most seasoned of party people only.
Where: 20 Collingwood St, NE1 1JF
🍺Tup Tup Palace
This boutique nightclub is a little bit different (but a whole lot legendary). These guys love their hip-hop, RnB and Afrobeats, so head here if that's your vibe.
Where: 7 St Nicholas' St, NE1 1RE
The Best Time to Go
Newcastle is a great city to head to any time of year.
Well, it's not like you're going there for the warm weather, is it?!
60% of stags going there in 2023 went between March and May, but we had guys heading up throughout the year.
How Long Do People Go For?
The majority of stags (60%) went to Newcastle for 3 days (2 nights).
2 nights is the perfect amount for Newcastle as it gives you a couple of nights to explore the nightlife, and a few days to take on some of the awesome activities on offer.
How Soon Do People Book?
Stags going to Newcastle in 2023 booked 4 months before they were due to go.
That gave them enough time to secure their preferred accommodation and activity options, but we wouldn't recommend leaving it any later than that.
The longer you leave it, the more likely other groups will beat you to it.
Where to Stay in Newcastle
We have a cracking array of stag-friendly Newcastle accommodation options right in the city centre that are ready and raring to book.
From hotels to apartments, there's plenty on offer to suit all groups.
With a city like Newcastle, it's always best to stay as central as possible so that you're right in amongst the biggest and best nights out.
Think of the money you'll save not having to jump in expensive taxis every 5 minutes.
Best Newcastle accommodation options
- Budget option - Travelodge Gateshead
- Upgrade option - Leonardo Hotel Newcastle Quayside
- Self-catering option - Premier Suites Newcastle

Things to See in Newcastle
#1 Angel of the North
OK, it's in Gateshead, but there's a good-to-fair chance you'll be driving past it en route, so it's an ideal little stop-off for that big squad selfie.
#2 St James' Park
Unlike a lot of football stadiums, this sporting cathedral is smack bang in the centre of the city, meaning you'll probably just stumble across it as you're walking about.
#3 Millenium & Tyne Bridge
It's not the yawn-fest it sounds. The Millenium Bridge is a tilting structure which resembles a Venus Fly Trap when raised on its hydraulic arm. Bask in the glory of Tyne Bridge Quayside with an ice-cold pint in hand.
#4 Newcastle Castle
Well, of course it has a castle!
#5 Wylam Brewery
Beer connoisseurs will want to check out this awesome brewery housed in the Palace of Arts in Exhibition Park.
