🔥 Top 10 Ideas in Glasgow for 2025
1
Clay Shooting
Each stag will receive 1-to-1 coaching before getting their hands on a 12-bore shotgun. Things will get competitive, so prepare to bring the intensity as you discover who has the fastest reactions and steadiest hands. May the best stag win!
2
Quad Biking
Hop on your Yamaha Grizzly bike and experience an epic trek through 80 acres of Scottish woodland. Be careful, though, the terrain can be cruel. You won't leave without your driving skills being tested to the max.
3
Go Karting
Get behind the wheel of your 200cc karts and see if you can make it through the elimination laps before the winners battle it out over a 16-lap finale. Who will stand on the champ's podium at the end?
4
Bubble Football
Time to play your own Old Firm derby, bubble football style! This hilarious stag activity never fails to whip up some friendly competition as you battle it out over 60 minutes. It could get ugly, but that's all part of the beautiful game.
5
Rage Buggies
Leave the groom in your dust as you speed off into the distance. As well as the bragging rights, there's the winner's podium and champagne celebration up for grabs. These bad boys hit speeds of up to 60mph, so strap yourselves in.
6
Paintballing
Here's where friendships go out the window - this is your chance to pelt the groom with as many paintballs as the guys have in their semi-automatic weapons. Take your pick from the many battle zones and let him have it.
7
Highland Games
Enjoy a real taste of Scotland as you battle it out across 9 different Highland Games activities. From haggis throwing to bagpipe playing, they really lean into the stereotypes here.
8
Whitewater Rafting
Can you brave the extreme waters and conquer the rapids? Well, there's only one way to find out! Take on the two-tier 20-foot drop (how about that for a hangover cure) as well as a range of grade 2, 3, and 4 rapids.
9
Whisky Tour
Going to Glasgow and not trying whisky is like going to France and not trying a croissant. Check out how the world's finest Scotch is made and learn how to taste whisky like a true pro.
10
Comedy Club
Skip the queue with your guestlist ticket, grab a pint, and sit the groom at the front to prepare him for an absolute grilling. Enjoy the hilarious warm-up acts before you experience the pure genius of the headliner.

A cracking district with a range of bars and eateries to get your night off to a flyer. Stroll from dive bar to cocktail bar, to sports bar, to whiskey bar, to gin bar... it's got it all.
Sauchiehall Street
This is where to head if you enjoy fast-paced nightlife. This street is lined with some of the best bars and clubs in the city.
Bath Street
Running parallel to Sauchiehall Street is another road packed with boozers. Enjoy the steakhouses and cocktail lounges alongside live music and traditional pubs.
North Street
Home to the Scottish ale house Bon Accord, which has a roster of up to 800 different beers and 400 different whiskeys.
Finnieston
Away from Merchant City, Finnieston is a where to head if the lads fancy a refined pint before the evening madness begins.
Top 10 Glasgow Pubs, Bars & Clubs

The Best Time to Go
According to StagWeb stats, the prime time for a stag weekend in Glasgow is July to September, with 61% of our groups heading there in this period in 2023.
And this adds up as it's the best time of year, weather-wise - Hello, Beer Gardens! - plus all the students will have gone home, so the nights out should be a slightly older crowd.
How Long Do People Go For?
55% of stags in 2023 stayed for 3 days (2 nights), which is spot-on if you ask us.
You probably don't need to stay any longer, unless you're looking to maximise a Bank Holiday weekend, as two nights should give you enough time to take on a load of activities and enjoy a couple of nights on the town.
How Soon Do People Book?
Guys heading here with us last year booked, on average, two months before they were due to go, which is cutting it a bit fine if you ask us.
You want to book as early as you can to secure cheaper rates and guarantee better availability for your hotel and activities.
Where to Stay in Glasgow
From central apartments to a range of 2- to 4-star hotels, we've got plenty of Glasgow stag accommodation suitable for all groups.
With Glasgow, we'd always recommend staying as close to the centre as possible to avoid having to faff about with public transport or waste money getting expensive taxis everywhere.
What to Do in Glasgow
With over 50 Glasgow stag do ideas to choose from as well as Glasgow's bouncing nightlife, you have no chance of a boring stag here.
Scotland's largest city is also home to two of the world's most famous football teams: Rangers and Celtic, and it would be a waste if any football fans didn't catch some action or tour the stadiums whilst they're here.
Things to See in Glasgow
Glasgow Tower
Climb to the top of the tower to conquer those hangovers and enjoy a 360 view of the city. You could even scout the next pubs!
Scottish Football Museum
Scotland has a rich football history, and what could be better than visiting Europe's first national football museum?
