Financial crashes. Airline collapses. Brexit. COVID. Volcanoes.
Since 2002, here at StagWeb, we've organised thousands of stag weekends across the UK and Europe.
In that time, the world has thrown more than a few curveballs at us... but through it all, we kept delivering exceptional stag weekends.
Not because we got lucky, but because we're built to last!
If you're planning a weekend now, you can send us a free stag enquiry and see what 24 years of experience looks like in practice.
Why This Matters When Booking Your Stag Do
You're not buying a t-shirt. You're booking accommodation, flights, venues, deposits and experiences months in advance. Stability matters.
When you book with a 24-year-old company, you benefit from:
- Financial resilience
- Established supplier relationships
- Crisis-handling experience
- Operational depth
- Real contingency planning
That's the difference between a company that's new to the market... and one that has helped shape it.

"Amazing weekend and great work by StagWeb when our accommodation was cancelled due to COVID 48 hours before my stag. Ellie went above and beyond to get everything sorted. Would definitely recommend."

Hospitality tightened. Venues shut. Suppliers reduced capacity.
What we did:

We're not a website run from a laptop.
We're an established travel operator with systems, infrastructure and scar tissue.
The Advantage of 24 Years
What does longevity actually give you as an organiser?
1. Negotiating Power
Long-term supplier relationships create leverage - and leverage creates reliability.
2. Operational Depth
Structured systems. Dedicated teams. Proven processes.
3. Financial Protection
We are ABTOT bonded, meaning your group's money is protected under a government-approved scheme.
4. Experience Under Pressure
When the unexpected happens, experience leads the response.
5. Continuity
When you book months in advance, you want confidence that the company will be here when your event arrives.
