The Best

Stag Do Locations UK

What are the best UK stag do destinations?

Of course, it's all subjective, we say "Newquay", you say "Newcastle". One man's bar crawl is another man's pub golf. But if you're looking to find the best UK stag do destination then you can put our team to the test. Tell us your chief criteria (epic activities, budget-friendly, going coastal, etc) then sit back as we do the hard work for you.

Jolly Activities

Great Britain, the United Kingdom - just those two descriptions of our peerless nation suggest we should be confident and for stags at least it's spot on. If you know where to go, Blighty's an amazing place to party! We lead the world in stag weekend celebrations, in the USA they may have "Bachelor Parties", in Oz their "Buck's Nights", but our stags are the stuff of legend.

One question we're often asked is: "Where is the best place for a UK stag party?". That's kind of like asking: "What is the best beer?". It's hugely subjective (although, when it comes to beer, it will be British obviously, not one of those funny fizzy imports) and depends entirely on your group, and of course, the groom himself.

• Somerset Challenge
• Welsh Games
• Highland Games

Every stag party has different criteria, some stags are purely looking for big nights out in even bigger nightclubs. Some stags stay off the booze in favour of all-action, man-style adventure. For others, the destination is based on one of the groom-to-be's old haunts, taking him back to where he grew up, where he went to uni or where he had his first pint.

There are some great British stag cities, but choosing the best British stag city...? Even with our many of expertise and over 600,000 clients, we can't simply point at a map and pick the definitive "best British stag party city".

Party Central

On an island famed for its pub life, we are spoilt for choice for great places for a big night out. Newcastle, Bristol, Nottingham all have some great clubs and bars as well as plenty of fantastic choices for food when it's time to get "fed up". After all, a stag army marches on its stomach.

Sporting Pedigree

Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff all have great sporting credentials and so should certainly be in the mix for the Best British Stag City. If there is a particular team that you want to see more of or even a sporting fixture in mind, contact our team, we have a range of Stadium Tours for top football clubs across the UK (we also have stadium tours available in Europe).

Beside the Seaside

If your idea of the best British stag city requires sun and sea then Newquay, Brighton, Bournemouth and Blackpool are all really well set up for party-loving stags with no shortage of top drawer activities and diverse nightlife.

Consider This... 3 Tips For Approaching Your UK Stag Do

1. Weather & Season
   This one's pretty obvious, but seasonality and the British climate can influence recommendations, you have weather and daylight hours to consider. Some experiences are terrific in summer but not ideal in winter and vice versa. It's just about being smart with selections and getting the most from your weekend, for example, you might think Scotland's a no-no in winter, but actually, it's a belter with great availability and unique activities like curling and plenty of skiing. In summer, with more daylight hours, you can take advantage of warmer weather, terrific outdoor settings, longer hours for event planning and evening fixtures like a night at the races. If you've got sports on your mind, then fixtures will have set dates to keep tabs on.
2. Access all areas, from Newquay to Northern Ireland!
   This is a smart practical consideration when thinking about the lads: Where's everyone coming from? The most important thing is obviously the groom and what he'd prefer, but looking at where the crew is arriving from might play a part. If the boys are coming from all over then somewhere central like Birmingham, Nottingham or London are decent locations to consider. Alternatively, thinking about what's easy for flying internally within the UK and on trains is a good compromise, for example, Newquay might seem a long way for most, but summer train and flight schedules make it available from all over the country.
3. Tickets, please... The Busy British Event Calendar
   Despite what you hear about us leading the Euro obesity charts, Britain's a leisure hungry nation and that means there are loads of events on at all times. The impact for UK stag weekends is that on occasion cities do book out, for example, York is usually rammed on a race weekend, Cardiff's very busy when the Rugby's on, Nottingham's bursting over any Ashes cricket weekend and even London venues can get pretty tight for availability if there's something really big on. The long and short of it is to either deliberately time your weekend with an event and plan early or try to avoid an exceptionally busy date.
