Coasteering

This is an extreme sport you need to be fit for, it’s a combination of a hiking, canyoning and cliff jumping. It’s probably the most naturally thrilling activity you can do in the UK but you’ve got to be game. Top spots – Cardiff, Exeter, Newquay, Torquay, Woolacombe.

Yacht Charter / Sailing

Perhaps the coolest of stag weekend watersports, hire a yacht, load up with beers and snacks (but drink responsibly) and let the skipper take you out on half-day of full day’s sailing. As the ozzies might say … bloody beautiful! Top spots – Barcelona, Bournemouth, Brighton, Isle of Wight, Southampton.

Sea Fishing

A great activity, half day of full day. Half-day will be closer to the shore and therefore the catch will be slightly different, but get out for a full day and we’re talking deep sea fishing. Usually 10-12 to a vessel, you’ll need your sea legs but if the weather holds it’s a day with your best mates you’ll never forget. Top spots – Barcelona, Bournemouth, Brighton, Isle of Wight, Newquay, Southampton, Torquay, Woolacombe.

Zorbing

Imagine this, a group of stags all line up to do something you’ve never done before and are unlikely to do again. You get into a massive nylon ball which has a cavity especially for you (and maybe a mate if you’re lucky), you’re strapped in and then rolled down a slow for a few minutes of madness. Awesome! Top spots – Bournemouth.

Cricket

Where would the summer be without Cricket, nowhere that’s where. Cricket is the archetypal summer team game so it’s ideal for a stag weekend, whether it’s spectating (20/20, county, day-night, test) or playing a proper match, six a side or indoor. We have access to several international fixtures where you can play against expats and the locals, we even know of a pitch where we might even be able to get a celebrity player or two! Top Spots – Bath, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Cork, Durham, France, Leeds, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Southampton, Taunton, Tallinn.

In truth there are plenty more (we haven’t even mentioned beach volleyball, hydrospeeding, highland games or zip wires), check out StagWeb’s activities section for a full buffet of stag weekend ideas. The most important thing of all is to get something that will suit the group that you’ll all enjoy, we’re here to help you get great value and a superb stag weekend experience.
