"StagWeb made planning my trip to Edinburgh completely hassle-free. From start to finish, everything was organised perfectly. Great accommodation, smooth bookings, and a brilliant itinerary that took the stress out of planning. Their team was helpful, responsive, and really understood what we wanted. Thanks to StagWeb, we were able to just relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about a thing. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to arrange a group trip!"
What to do in Edinburgh
Wild, rugged and untamed... no, we're not just talking about our stationery cupboard (although it certainly has never been tamed). Scotland and stag parties were surely made for each other. And when it comes to outdoor activities Edinburgh really is a force to be reckoned with. If you're heading to the capital with StagWeb, then you'll have the opportunity to take part in some of the best stag activities around. From one-off Scottish adventures like duckies (you'll get wet, we'll explain later) or your very own version of the Highland Games, to some of the more traditional Edinburgh stag activities including go karting and paintball, an Edinburgh stag do really does have all tastes covered. What's more, at StagWeb we know the best venues, have the low-down on the best times and transfers and will build the ultimate itinerary so you get the most from your weekend north of the border.
9 Best Edinburgh Stag Activities
- Paintball - Armed with semi-automatic weapons it's time to give the groom a complete Dulux makeover! It's going to get messy!
- Clay Pigeon Shooting - I know what these hangovers need, the sound of really loud gunfire! Classic stag weekend challenge.
- Highland Games - An awesome and hilarious Edinburgh stag activity sporting challenge. Where men are men and haggis are nervous.
- Whitewater Rafting - Head up st*g creek without a paddle in this extreme stag weekend adventure. Are you tough enough?
- Bubble Football - All the fun of the 'beautiful game' with a lot less of the skill. The funniest version of football ever invented.
- Go Karts - The most fun you can have on four wheels without getting flashed by a speed camera. Game on!
- Inflatable Games - Your own giant TV game show complete with HUGE obstacles, crazy costumes, water, foam and carnage.
- Escape Room - Locked in a room, you have just sixty minutes to solve the clues and escape. Or stay trapped inside. Forever!
- Whisky Tour - An amazing, interactive tour with the world's largest scotch whisky collection and plenty of tasting. We'll drink to that!
Just how wild will it be?
Legend might suggest your weekend should be a wild affair but at StagWeb we appreciate that not every group wants the same experience. We work hard to offer only the highest quality activities, so whether you want an adrenaline-packed weekend, or if Scotland's forthcoming Commonwealth Games have inspired you to indulge in some friendly competition, we'll find you the package to suit.
For a Scottish adventure…
It's impossible not to get caught up in the fun-loving spirit of the Scots, so why not throw yourselves into the top traditional stag activities Edinburgh has in store?
For a totally unique experience take to the great outdoors for some competitive fun. With friendly instructors to guide you through the course, your own mini highland games will be a stag event to be remembered. Welly hurling, highland dancing and even a good old fashioned tug-o-war, it's got them all. And of course, no highland games would be complete without the infamous caber toss!
If it's extreme sport you want why not experience some white water rafting as only Edinburgh knows how? Taking in no less than 4 rivers, the 'death fang' and a two-tier 20 foot drop, there won't just be testosterone flying around when you hit the water, but quite likely arms, legs and a few bodies to boot. But in or out of the raft, with experienced instructors and the latest rafting gear at your disposal, you're guaranteed a white knuckle ride you won't forget.
For something a little different have a go at a duckies session. White water rafting meets kayaking on a fast flowing course that promises thrills and spills aplenty. Grab your paddle, steady your nerves and hit the rapids for an afternoon's racing that's sure to get the adrenaline pumping.
Can we mix and match?
Absolutely! We're committed to bringing you the best of the action, so whether you're looking for a full-day event or fancy trying a couple of our half-day activities, we're confident we can build the perfect day to suit your budget. Looked after by our dedicated event teams, we'll make sure you get the most from your Edinburgh stag activities.
Start the day with some fast-paced action:
600 metres of track, the first dual fly-over in the country and top speeds of 40mph. If you want to spend a morning go karting, Edinburgh provides a truly amazing day's racing. And with your Grand Prix event taking place at one of the country's best indoor circuits, it's an experience not to be missed.
Then adjust the tempo for a more sedate afternoon's activities:
One of our most popular activities, you're guaranteed a healthy dose of competition at Scotland's premier site for clay pigeon shooting.
Or take advantage of being in the country that brings you Scotch whisky with a distillery tour. Lasting roughly an hour it's an activity easily combined as part of a varied day's events.
