🔥 Top 10 Ideas in Reading for 2025
Go Karting
This 450-metre indoor track really does separate the stags from the boys. Your 200cc Biz karts will hit speeds of up to 40 mph in this 25-minute battle to the finish line (this includes 15 minutes of solid Le Mans-style racing).
Triple Brewery Tour
Why visit one brewery when you can tour three?! Yes, what better way to appreciate the finest drink in history than by heading on a pilgrimage which includes 9 tasters and an expert host to talk you through it?!
Human Table Football
We've taken the classic game of table football and made it life-sized. Yes, normal football just doesn't have that 'chaos factor' every stag do needs, so we went out and delivered this epic activity for you to enjoy.
Multi Activity Day
Take on up to four stag classics at our epic activity site! We're talking clay shooting, paintball, exploding archery, hovercraft racing and so much more. All you could ever need in one place. Easy.
Paintballing
Located in a massive woodland, our paintball site is the ultimate stag warzone! You'll suit up in your combat gear (maybe give the groom a hi-vis jacket so he doesn't get lost) before fighting through 6 epic rounds.
Bubble Football
Bubble footy is fast-paced, fiendish and the right amount of mayhem every stag do needs. Imagine the groom running through on goal to put his side one-nil up, when you come diving in from the side in your big bubble and bounce him into next week!
Footgolf
If you aren't familiar with footgolf, it's essentially your classic game of golf but with footballs and bigger holes instead of clubs and golf balls. A great way to get some fresh air and conquer those sore heads from the night before.
Beer & Shots Package
3 bottles of Heineken, 1 Jägerbomb and 1 chilli vodka shot... if you aren't ready to hit the dance floor and throw some shapes after that, we don't know if you ever will. It's the perfect way to warm up for that big night out.
Popworld VIP Package
There ain't no party like a StagWeb party. Get guestlist entry into one of the best nights out in town as you enjoy a throwback to the '90s and Noughties era. You'll get your own VIP booth, plus there are multiple drinks packages available.
Turbo Cricket
Turbo Cricket is ideal for fans of the game who don't have time for a five-day test match. This is fast-paced gameplay with soft balls and 'turbo overs' for maximum chaos.

Reading Nightlife
Close enough to London that all the trends are there, but far enough away that prices aren't sky-high, you'll find such a variety of drinking spots that you'll struggle to know where to start.
Friar Street
Friar Street is door-to-door pubs, bars and clubs. It's where you'll find everything you need on a stag do after the sun goes down. The street is bookended by the infamous cheap pub franchise we all hate to love, but they're a great starting point on your big night out.
Merchants Place
The place to head if you fancy a bar of the independent variety.
Things to See in Reading
The Select Car Leasing Stadium
Home to Reading FC. A great place to head for any footy-loving groom looking to get his fix on his big weekend away. It's about three miles from the city centre, so you might want to consider public transport or a taxi.
How to Get to Reading...
Train - Reading Station is very central and you can walk to all the bars of Friar Street in under five minutes. Hello, ice-cold pint on arrival!
Car - There are multiple secure car parks dotted around Reading if your accommodation doesn't offer parking - head to Parkopedia to find your nearest one.
Plane - London Heathrow is your best bet if you have any stags flying in. It's only 27 miles away and should only take about 40 minutes to get there by car (traffic-dependent).
Tips On Getting Around Reading
Walking - Reading's centre is small enough for the boys to handle on foot.
Buses - If the lads are looking to cover some serious ground, the town's buses are reliable, affordable and cover a wide variety of destinations.
Taxis - A number of reputable firms operate in Reading, including:
- Cabtrip 0118 946 4646
- CabHub 0118 966 6999
