StagWeb Stag Weekends Blog

Over recent years it has become standard practice on a stag weekend to dress up in fancy dress for one of the nights. Long gone are the days of named polo shirts, or just dressing up the stag, now the whole group tends to get involved.

There are many fancy dress themes you can choose from, no doubt you’ve seen a stag group dress in full golfing attire, making their way around the various bars on the pub golf outing, however stag fancy dress in recent years has reached a new level, with groups pushing their imaginations to the limit. Here are a few of our StagWeb favourites:

• Morph suits
• Super heroes
• a group of ‘Where’s Wally’s’

There are so many great fancy dress themes and costumes out there and through web sites like www.stagpranks.com you really can pick them up for some great prices.

If you’re looking for a motorsports action filled stag weekend with the boys then look no further! Below we’ve listed 3 of our best driving stag activities which is sure to get the adrenaline pumping …

Quad Biking is a superb driving activity that can be enjoyed by all groups with its great variation; racing and trekking. The racing is more of a time trial with one or two quads on the track at one time competing for the best time, simple! The trekking can be up to 20 quads at a time in some destinations, where you and the boys will battle some of the trickiest, dirtiest and most demanding terrain while riding on 100-250cc beasts!

Go Karting offers groups the ideal driving activity due to the competitiveness of the activity. With grand prix, Le Mans formats available the groups can go head to head and fight it out for that elusive trophy. With indoor and outdoor tracks Go Karting offer great variation to your stag driving activity.

Powerturns are a great stag driving activity and you can almost  guarantee some members of the group have not experienced before. A brilliant and totally dynamic driving experience, these vehicles are capable of spinning 360° on their own axis, which unless driven correctly – you might find yourself doing too!!   The Powerturn is a one or two man two-wheel drive vehicle powered by twin engines and steered by varying the throttle or brake on either of the engines.  A totally different driving discipline it can power slide round corners, do doughnuts, wheelies and can probably be manoeuvred faster than any other off road leisure driving vehicle in the world. Such a great stag driving activity to make your stag party unique and unforgettable.

Reading’s Mikele Liegertwood has put his stag do to Las Vegas on hold after Reading FC reached the npower Championship play-off final against Swansea.

Liegertwood was due to fly to Las Vegas this week along with 18 of his friends. He told Reading football club’s official website:

“I’m due to get married in the summer and had the stag booked a long time ago, so now I’ve let down 18 of my friends and lost a lot of money!”

“They’re totally understanding, though, they’re happy we’re in the final and so am I, now we’ve got to go and win.”

“I’ve never played at Wembley so to turn out there and try and get to the Premier League is what everyone wants to do.”

I guess if you’re going to miss a Las Vegas stag weekend, playing a final to get into the Premier League is a great excuse!

If you don’t have a Championship final to play in but want a Las Vegas stag do, then you’re on the right website! We can arrange 5 star hotels, awesome activities from desert buggies to target shooting and that’s before all the fantastic casino nightlife Sin City has to offer.

The more unusual, the more funny and memorable your stag do can be, and that’s exactly what The Somerset Challenge brings.

The Somerset Challenge is available in Bristol, and also close for stag weekends in Bath, Cheltenham and Cardiff.

A stag do was traditionally a small affair that involved a night at the local pub the day before the wedding, as a final “send off” for the groom to be. As the occasion of the stag weekend develops, it now seems that the point is to have an action packed experience with various activities and nightlife and … to embarrass the stag as much as possible.

Stag dares are becoming common. Examples include: getting the stag to confront strangers on the street and singing them a love song, kissing as many people as possible in 10 minutes and dancing solo wearing nothing but a French Maid’s outfit (Although we wouldn’t recommend this).

A new phenomenon is surprising the stag on the night with a dwarf, with a face painted blue mimicking a Smurf, the two are handcuffed to one another and it remains that way all night. The stag has to do everything with the Smurf … eat, drink, sleep and we’re sure you can guess what else.

With a little bit of imagination and the help from websites like Stag Pranks, groups can find new and fun ways to make their friends stag weekend one to remember!

Remember it’s your responsibility to come up with the most original ideas so don’t take our word for it.
