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.

This year travel agents are predicting that more people will be heading overseas for their holidays and there’s no reason why that shouldn’t also include their stag weekends especially seeing as there’s some amazing options out there!

paintballing

Possibly the most popular stag day activity, there’s nothing more fun than running round shooting people in a safe and fun environment.

The format goes something like this: You arrive at your paintball site > get kitted up in all the safety gear > get briefed by the paintball stewards > then it’s off to destroy the enemy!

Usually paintball sites will have around 6 different woodland  zones, which will generally have a different scenario from ‘capturing the flag‘, ‘king of the hill‘, and a ’saving Private Ryan’ type game, where you’d have to bring back the stuffed dummy to your HQ. Or there’s even the chance to dress the stag and the best man in some hilarious getup and the whole group gets to hunt them down.

Between each zone you’ll have a break where you’ll get the chance to take on some much needed water, and also in the middle you’d generally get a lunch.

It really isn’t surprising why paintballing is so popular, it really gets the adrenaline pumping! You’re going to be ducking and diving a lot so prepare to get a little dirty. One really good tip though is not to run out guns blazing, being too trigger happy, because you’ll be out quicker than you can say ‘paintballs!’. Alot of stealth and team work is needed if you want to be on the winning team!
