🔥 Top 10 Ideas in Brighton for 2025
1
Go Karting
Go-karting is a stag do staple because it has all the elements needed for a great activity. (1) You finally get the chance to see who the best driver is, (2) it'll get the adrenaline-pumping, and (3) it's a great opportunity to dish out prizes for the winners and forfeits for the losers!
2
Bubble Football
Now Brighton has an established Premier League team, it's only right you put your fancy footwork to the test when you're partying in this coastal city. The only issue you'll face is having to score a screamer whilst you're opponents try to bounce you into orbit.
3
Axe Throwing
Pfft... darts? How about doing something truly stag-sized on the groom's big weekend away? Axe throwing is the sort of stag party carnage everyone expects from a weekend away. You and the boys will get two practice rounds before you battle it out in the final.
4
Party Bike
It's the classic stag do dilemma: you want to go somewhere different and see the sights, but you also want to try out all the local pubs whilst you're there. Well, the party bike is the perfect solution as you can do both at once. It's BYOB, too, so you can enjoy a few beers whilst you pedal the streets of Brighton.
5
Inflatable Games
Our inflatable games activity is utter chaos. We're talking gunge, foam, gallons of water, plus a range of hilarious games to go head-to-head on. Depending on group sizes, you'll be competing against other stag and hen parties to really up the ante. Game on!
6
Alcotraz Prison Cocktail Experience
This is one of the most unique drinking experiences in the UK by a mile. You and the boys will attempt to smuggle booze into the infamous Alcotraz whilst guards patrol the blocks. Luckily your resident inmates are a dab hand at making moonshine!
7
Zombie Survival Day
How long would you guys last in the impending zombie apocalypse? A month? A week? In the groom's case, half an hour? Well, it's time to prepare yourselves for that inevitable day (oh, and it's coming!) with some crossbow shooting, spear-throwing, and a whole lot more.
8
Sexy French Maids
Look, this is a stag weekend - do you really want to be serving yourselves beer and bringing yourselves food? Didn't think so! Luckily, we have a couple of French maids who will come to your accommodation and wait on you hand and foot!
9
School Sports Day
Return to your sporting glory years as you and the lads do battle over a range of classic sports day events. You don't get many opportunities as an adult to revert back to childhood, so be sure to take the chance when it comes along.
10
Dodgeball
Another high school classic, dodgeball is a solid addition to any stag weekend. The aim of the game is simple: to hit as many of your opponents without getting hit yourself. It's also a great chance to gang up on the groom... win/win.

"The Lanes is a great place to start the night with a great range of bars and pubs to kickstart the action."
"I'd then suggest moving to West Street and the clubs in and around Brighton Pier to end the night in style."

Where to Go on Your Brighton Stag Night
West Street
Home to PRYZM, Popworld, Revolution, Walkabout and a load of street food joints, this is where Brighton's partiers flock for their big nights out.
Brighton Beachfront
If you go to the bottom of West Street and turn left along the A259, you'll find loads of clubs, bars and eateries waiting to welcome you in.
The Lanes
Cocktail joints, fancy bars, plus some cracking real ale pubs, The Lanes is a great place to come in the afternoon or early evening before the party cranks into gear.
Top 10 Brighton Pubs, Bars & Clubs
🍺Revolution
Located on West Street, one of Brighton's busiest nightlife areas, Revs is a stag and hen party staple. It's gloriously unpretentious and you're bound to have a belting night out here.
Where: 77 West St, BN1 2RA
🍺Horizon
Located down on the beachfront, Horizon is another club right in the heart of the action. They have ticketed events happening all the time, so it's good to check in advance, but Friday nights are a regular Afrobeats evening if that's your jam.
Where: 214 Kings Rd, BN1 1NB
🍺PRYZM
This UK-wide nightclub chain is an elite night out. Think about it - they wouldn't be everywhere if they weren't popular! Expect the party to go through until 4 am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Where: Kingswest, West Street, BN1 2RE
🍺Popworld
Some people may not want to admit it, but Popworld is a great night out. Who wouldn't want to throw some outrageous shapes to some cheesy nineties and noughties classics?
Where: 79 West St, BN1 2RA
🍺The Plotting Parlour
If you're looking for some refined cocktails, the Plotting Parlour is your go-to place. This dimly lit speakeasy is ideal for some chilled drinks.
Where: 6 Steine St, Kemptown, BN2 1TE
🍺The Joker
Supposedly, this place is one of Brighton's best pubs for food, so we reckon you guys should put those claims to the test.
Where: 2 Preston Rd, BN1 4QF
🍺BrewDog
Great beer, good food, and plenty of space to fit you in, BrewDog is always a good shout on a stag do. These guys are dominating the UK craft beer scene and it's easy to see why!
Where: Hectors House, 52-54 Grand Parade, BN2 9QA
🍺Sidewinder
A quirky pub with decent outdoor space, Sidewinder is high up on our list of favourite pubs in Brighton. They have a great snack selection plus some tasty beers to try.
Where: 5 St James's St, Kemptown, BN2 1PJ
🍺The Grand Central
Located right by Brighton Train Station, you can pitch up here and wait for all the other guys to arrive. A cracking pub with a roof terrace and resident DJs.
Where: 29-30 Surrey St, BN1 3PA
🍺Concorde 2 Nightclub
Said (by them) to be Brighton's number one live music venue - this place hosts plenty of gigs, plus a load of club nights.
Where: 286A Madeira Dr, BN2 1EN
The Best Time to Go
In 2023, the most popular time to go to Brighton for stags going with StagWeb was April or May (53%).
Why then?
Well, the weather's starting to warm up, the coastal activities are up and running, plus you avoid all the accommodation price hikes that come into effect around the school holidays.
If you can afford to go in May, June, or July, that's when you're going to get the best weather, but even the winter months are great fun if you're not looking to hit the beach or take on any watersport activities.
How Long Do People Go For?
The majority of stags (54%) going to Brighton in 2023 went there for 2 nights (3 days).
This is the perfect amount of time, in our eyes, as it gives you enough time to enjoy a few nights out, explore the city and take on a range of activities.
You can do more nights, but we definitely wouldn't recommend doing less (unless you live locally).
How Soon Do People Book?
Guys heading to Brighton in 2023 with StagWeb booked just under 5 months in advance.
It's pretty simple maths - the sooner you book, the less likely another group will beat you to your preferred choices.
Simple.
If you're heading to Brighton this year, we say to book at least five months in advance to secure your top choices.
Where to Stay in Brighton
