Ever wanted to know if your mates would have your back in a zombie apocalypse? Now’s your chance to find out. Spend the weekend fending off hordes of the undead in a post-apocalyptic setting. Ideal for the groom who’s obsessed with The Walking Dead or just loves a bit of drama.
4. Beer Tasting and Brewery Tour
What’s a stag do without a bit of a booze-up? Head to one of the UK’s many breweries for a tasting session. Learn about the brewing process, sample a variety of craft beers, and enjoy the inevitable tipsy banter.
5. White Water Rafting
For the thrill-seeking groom, white water rafting provides an adrenaline rush like no other. Tackle the rapids of some of the UK’s most beautiful rivers. Just make sure everyone’s strapped in properly – nothing says “stag do disaster” like losing the groom downstream.
6. Comedy Club Night
Treat the groom to a night of laughter at a top comedy club. It’s a great way to kick off the evening before hitting the town. Plus, if you let the club know in advance, the comedians might even roast the groom – all in good fun, of course.
7. Medieval Banquet
Step back in time and feast like kings at a medieval banquet. Enjoy a night of hearty food, mead, and entertainment from jesters and knights. And if the groom fancies himself a bit of a Lancelot, he might even get to joust!
8. Treasure Hunt
Unleash your inner pirates with a city-wide treasure hunt. Split into teams, follow clues, and compete to find the hidden loot. It’s a brilliant way to explore a new city and a guaranteed laugh as you watch your mates argue over the cryptic clues.
9. Go-Karting
Channel your inner Lewis Hamilton with a few laps around a go-kart track. Whether you’re a petrolhead or just in it for the bragging rights, go-karting is always a winner. Just watch out for the inevitable “accidental” bumps and crashes.
10. Escape Room Challenge
Test your brains and your patience with an escape room challenge. Locked in a themed room, you’ll have to work together to solve puzzles and escape before time runs out. Perfect for the groom who loves a mental challenge – or just wants to feel like Sherlock Holmes for an hour.
Final Tips for the Ultimate Stag Do
- Know Your Groom: Tailor the activities to what the groom loves. No point in booking a bungee jump if he’s afraid of heights.
- Pace Yourselves: It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Make sure there’s a good mix of activities and downtime.
- Capture the Memories: Bring along a camera. These are the moments you’ll want to remember – or at least have evidence of.
