StagWeb Stag Weekends Blog

It’s a new decade, but it’s still important that the age-old tradition of the stag night must still be upheld and in this day and age you have a fantastic selection of options for your stag night entertainment. You can still go for the timeless classic of pubs and clubs – there are many good reasons why this has been popular with so many stag groups – but you may want to try something else on your stag night or if you’re going for a whole stag weekend, you could go traditional on one night and try something different on the other.

Comedy clubs are becoming increasingly popular with stag groups and are perfect for the first night of a stag weekend, it gets all the lads laughing together getting you all warmed up for a great weekend. Just watch where you sit as comedians have been known to single out stag groups for ridicule – unless you’d welcome a few laughs at your expense, comedy shows are always more memorable if you’re involved!

For a top stag night out you’re going to need to make sure that you arrive at every location in style and we’ve got two great options to help you do just that. With the boogie bus you can keep the party going between bars and there’s also the booze cruise option which is not only great for standing out from the crowd (who else will be turning up at the club in a  boat?) it’s also a brilliant way to see the city.

Stag party activities are always an important part of any stag weekend. If some of the lads don’t know each other too well then the activities are a great way for everyone to get to know each other and they also help you resist the temptation of just spending the whole day in the pub which can often have messy results and write off the rest of the weekend. There are so many activities on offer for stags these days that you really are spoiled for choice! Obviously you’ve got the stag party classics of paintballing, go karting and clay shooting which are guaranteed winners every time and you’ve also got plenty of other options from the extreme to the relaxing to the downright bizarre.

If you like your motorised activities, but want something other than go karting then (in rough order of extremeness) you could go for beerkeg racing, hovercrafts, off road karts, stunt driving or extreme dodgems. Beerkeg racing is, as the name suggests, racing on motorised beerkegs and extreme dodgems is a full-on race day on a state of the art asphalt oval track.

If you want to go for a shooting activity then if you head to Europe you can find some of the best target shooting activities around where you can shoot anything from handguns to shotguns to semi automatic rifles! It’s an experience like no other and definitely won’t disappoint.
