Plan your Leeds stag do

Is a Stag Do in Leeds Right for You?

The thing about Leeds is it has everything you could want for a stag weekend.

If you like big nights out, Millenium Square, Call Lane, and Greek Street are ready and raring to host you.

If you're all about the action, check out our legendary range of Leeds stag activities above. From Go Karting to Dumper Truck Racing, Clay Shooting to Horse Racing, there's something on offer to satisfy your thirst for adventure.

The only thing we can't guarantee is the sunshine (that's Britain for you), but with so much to take on and conquer, a little bit of rain won't dampen your spirits.

When to Head to Leeds?

50% of StagWeb's stags heading to Leeds in 2023 went there in June and July.

It's a great time of year to go as you leave enough of a buffer before 'wedding season' and you might get lucky and get some sun.

It's the end of uni season, too, so there will be a slightly older crowd in the pubs and bars.

Where to Drink in Leeds

• Millenium Square - Why not head over to Millennium Square, the party hub of Leeds? This open-air space is buzzing with nightlife options and is a great place to kick off a weekend of celebrations. Boasting chain bars like Revolution and Be At One, it's a great place to kickstart the party.
• Greek Street – Greek Street is a strip that is flanked by some of Leeds' main parties. You'll see why it's such a big hotspot for stags as you enjoy some of the trusty old favourite bars along with some newer ones! Whether you're grabbing a bite to eat at Wagamamas, you're hitting up the New York-inspired Manahatta bar, or you're getting the party start at All Bar One, you won't be short of options.
• Call Lane - Just ten minutes away from Greek Street, you can find Call Lane - another great central location with an even bigger selection of well-known rock 'n' roll bars and cocktail joints. You'll find a mix of independent places and some sturdy stag favourites like Revs De Cuba & Las Iguanas.
• Briggate – Briggate is the main shopping street in Leeds, but you'll also find a few eating spots to fuel the boys, from Maccies to Nando's. Be sure to hit up Trinity Shopping Centre for a range of great eateries and bars. From MEATLiquor burgers and Rosa's Thai to Tapped (and its 27 draft beers) and The Botanist, you'll be well-catered for in this stacked complex.
