The Roman's started it, the Saxon's went hard at it and now stags are finding out why this historic
city is such a superb stag weekend location. Grab your legions and walk this way...
This site was the secret to what was called "the best stag ever!"
If you're looking for an Exeter stag party to separate the stags from the boys, then you'll find an outdoor playground that Bear Grylls would be proud of. We can help you create a tailor made weekend to push the guys to their limits: High Ropes, Bushcraft Survival, Bubble Football, Go Karts, Quad Bike Trekking... The list is as mad as it is endless.
First man to cry "Wimp!" buys the first round. 'tis the Rules of the Stag gentlemen.
The Oddfellows - While it might sound like a description of your stag party, Oddfellows is actually a great drinkery for discerning chaps. Good food, good beer, good times!
The Monkey Suit - An alternative and trendy drinking venue with a difference. Retro bar room games and space invaders line up with a superb drinks menu.
On The Waterfront - If you're looking for avenue with a cool vibe to kick start a big night out then "on the Waterfront" is ideal with fine fayre and some great drinks.
February - lolExeter. Exeter's Laugh Out Loud festival showcases some of the hardest working comics in the UK. And that's no laughing matter!
March- Vibraphonic. Streets beats, dub, hip-hop and rap grab the microphone for a celebration of urban music and culture.
July - Let's Rock! If you like your music retro then you're in luck. Let's rock is a huge 80's gig with big stages, big bands and big hair!
August - Ale & Cider Festival. It's a festival of ale and cider... why are you still reading this? Go! Or they might start without you!
The good folk of Devon claim they make better cider
than their counterparts in Somerset.
There's only one way to find out... Fiiiiiight!
Or just have a drink.
You won't need to dig out the A-Z to find your way around Exeter, the city centre is compact and easy to navigate on foot. Even after a few pints of scrumpy. The best of the nightlife can be found in the historic streets surrounding the Cathedral.
Exeter is an ammonites throw from the Jurassic Coast which has unearthed some of the most import dinosaur bones. It's well worth a trip down to nearby Exmouth, especially for any of you Exeter stag party comrades suffering the effects of the night before.
Or you can head underground, no we don't mean finding Exeter's guerrilla army ("Viva la revolution my luvvers!") but the network of ancient tunnels that run underneath the city's streets.
The Guildhall is the oldest civic building in Britain with some parts dating back to 1160. That's even older than Exeter FC's last trophy!
JK Rowling, Rhod Gilbert, Will Young and Ben Collins (aka The Stig mark I) all went to Exeter University.
Eats - Size matters at Starz so if you like fine food and plenty of it then you'll be as happy as pigs in blankets. They offer a wide menu, great drinks and superb service. A great venue to get the guys well fed ahead of a big night out.
Drinks - The Fat Pig is Exeter's first brewpub. With their own fine range of perfectly poured pints, great food and live music we'd definitely recommend it as a stopping for thirsty gentlemen. Tell them StagWeb sent you (although they might ask you to settle our bar tab).
Exeter has strong musical pedigree, Ben Howard, Muse and Chris Martin all come from the city.
Getting around Exeter is really easy. The city is compact enough to get around the city centre on foot. If you are in the need for speed, while a bus might not exactly be "mustard" it's faster than walking and by getting a MegaRider ticket or SmartCard you can have unlimited travel. Far cheaper than shelling out for cabs.
"Bloggy" - Moody
"Clopping" - Injured
"Wazzock" - Idiot
"Manging" - Mixing
"Guddle" - Drink greedily
"Ne'er moind the bloggy wazzock, ee wer manging 'is ales and guddling all noight and now is clopping all abouts." - Pay no attention to the frail fellow, he mixed his drinks, had far too many and now he's slightly worse for wear.
An Exeter stag do might not be the first thing that leaps to mind as a top lads holiday, but the city is fast becoming a powerhouse of the southwest region. The residents of Exeter enjoy some of the best nightlife in the UK - which translates to top quality stag nights, with excellent Exeter stag accomodation, restaurants, and entertainment around the city to keep you and the boys busy. There are over 100 pubs to choose from too, and the selection of clubs for you and the lads to visit is nothing to sneer at either. Although incredible, the pub selection in Exeter isn't even the main draw (I know, we're surprised too). Instead, stags should be flocking there in droves to try the unbelievable range of stag activities in Exeter, clambering over cliff faces, water sports on the river Exe, traipsing around the Devonshire countryside, or revving your engines with some motorsports. Exeter sure isn't the first word in adrenaline fuelled stag dos - but it certainly is the last.
Throughout its history people have invaded, or tried to invade, Exeter. Who knows exactly what has drawn groups there ... maybe it's the buzzing nightlife, maybe it's the huge array of activities on offer... maybe it's the fact that it's located close to the mouth of the River Exe, making it very easy to attack. We couldn't possibly say for sure.
As a seaside destination, Exeter is pretty hot during the summer months, when the weather gets ... hot. The British Channel isn't exactly warm at any point so you'll want to hop in at its most temperate - unless the wedding scheme calls for all the groomsmen to have turned a fetching shade of blue. Don't feel you've got to restrict yourself to the summer though, since plenty of our activities run just as well, if not better, in the wetter, muddier months (quad biking, we're looking at you). The party atmosphere remains at a premium all year round too, with the students waking up as September ends, and keeping the buzz alive when other coastal towns are going to sleep. There are dozens of festivals through the year too, so Exeter's certainly no fair-weather friend to stag dos.
As one of the few Devonshire destinations that isn't swarmed by flocks of tourists every season, prices don't skyrocket every summer either, and the students keep the costs low the rest of the year. So, there's no need for any bar dodging stags to miss their round on an Exeter stag weekend.
As long as you're heading south and west, you're more or less on your way to Exeter. More specifically, Exeter is at the south end of the M5 so you can follow that to Exeter's doorstep. Trains run from London about hourly, as do trains from Bristol. South Wales and Birmingham run lines too. If you're economising on the transport to save for the good stuff, National Express and Megabus do coaches to and from Exeter, and are a good, cheap option if you're coming in a group.
