The Best Time to Go

Last year, 69% of stags who went to Liverpool with StagWeb went there between April and July.

Whilst Liverpool is a belting city all year round, April-July is the perfect time to head there before the summer weddings hit.

It's also the best time weather-wise, so you can enjoy a few beer garden pints as well as some of our better outdoor activities.

How Long Do People Go For?

To get the full Liverpool stag experience, you need to go there for at least 2 nights, which is what 76% of groups who partied with us last year did.

That might mean booking that Friday off work or going over a Bank Holiday weekend, but you definitely need at least a few days to take on some of the activities and check out what the nightlife has to offer.

How Soon Do People Book?

Guys going to Liverpool in 2023 booked 4 months in advance (126 days on average) which was bang on the average according to our end-of-year stats.

Liverpool is popular with both stags and hens, so we wouldn't risk booking any later than that, otherwise, you're likely to miss out on the best accommodation options and activity timeslots.

Where to Stay in Liverpool

Liverpool is unique in that most of the stag-friendly options are apartments rather than hotels.

This is great, though, as you can have all the guys under one roof or spread out over a couple of apartments, rather than split across a load of hotel rooms.

More room to get together and toast the groom before you head to Concert Square to kickstart that night out.

Check out our full range of Liverpool stag accommodation and get it booked before another group beats you to it.

Yes, you and the guys will have over 50 Liverpool stag do ideas to pick from to get the party started and keep the boredom at bay.

There are also two footy teams, plus loads of places to party - not bad options at all.

The Beatles Story Museum
