The Best Time to Go
According to our stats, 57% of stags who partied with StagWeb in 2024 went between April and June.
This time is popular because the weather starts to improve meaning you can enjoy that pint of creamy Guinness in a classic Irish beer garden.
This is also before the school holidays which means prices will be lower.
Don't worry if you book outside this period, though. The weather may not be as nice, but Belfast is a cracking choice all year round.
How Long Do People Go For?
In 2024, 65% stayed for 3 days (2 nights).
Given how easily accessible it is from the rest of the UK, two nights should be more than enough time to see the sights, take on some activities and enjoy a few big nights out.
Some stags head for 3 nights, but we wouldnt recommend going for any less than 2 (unless youre local).
How Soon Do People Book?
People book up Belfast about 5 months before they're due to go, which is the average according to our end-of-year stats.
Wed highly recommend booking sooner to guarantee the best accommodation and activity options and avoid missing out to a more organised group.
