Here at StagWeb, we do things differently.
Rather than Google ‘the best things to do in [random destination]’, we actually send our Destination Specialists and Event Managers around the country and Europe to bone up on all the latest and greatest stag offerings.
So, when we said to our Bournemouth Event Manager, Steph:
“We need you to go to Bournemouth to try a load of local beers, hit the beach, take on some insane activities, and make sure you find the best stag cuisine about,”
She was already out the door and halfway down the A350 before we could say, “And it’s on the house!”
Here’s what Steph discovered on her (boozy) fact-finding mission:
The Things You NEED to Know 👀
- Pint prices are pretty average (not too steep, not too cheap!)
- Old Christchurch Road is where the party is at
- Most of the bigger activities are on the outskirts of Bournemouth (so you may need transport)
What’s Bournemouth Like? 😃
“Bournemouth is fun and relaxing which is the perfect combo for stags.
“It’s fun in that the town centre is full of top pubs, clubs, and restaurants, so it won’t be hard to find the party.
“It’s relaxing in that you can head to the beach to work on those hangovers – nothing sorts those sore heads out quite like a dip in the sea!”
Top Things to Do in Bournemouth 🌊
Party Boats 🎉
“The Bournemouth party boats pop off!
“They actually depart out of the town, but you will easily be able to order a taxi, a minibus, or hop on the train as Poole Station is just a 13-minute walk to the Quay front.
“And if you head there early, you can stop off for some pub grub at Wetherspoons before departing which is literally opposite the Part Boat meeting point.”

Water Assault Course 💧
“This place is a must in the summer.
“It’s slightly out of town, so we had to drive, but there is loads of parking available.
“We had a go at the obstacle course, which I was pretty rubbish at, but it was still hilarious from the get-go which is good news if you think you’ll be awful at it, too!”

Glamping ✨
“If I was booking a stag here, I’d book the glamping option without hesitation.
“They have a load of events on-site, including quad biking, clay shooting, archery and more.
“If you’re staying in one of our sites, I’d recommend car sharing to arrive as they’re 20 miles from the town centre. It’s easy enough to make your way into Bournemouth, but you’ll just need to plan ahead.

Top Drinking Spots in Bournemouth 🍺
“Most of the bars and clubs are along Old Christchurch Road which is a great place to start the night and then it’s not too far to walk to get to the bigger clubs.
“And if you’re all about the party, then you won’t need to drive much at all on a weekend in Bournemouth as everything is concentrated close by.”
