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.
