If you are looking for some brilliant stag do destination ideas we have put together some Epic Stag Do Destination Guides which includes details on where to go, what nightlife's on offer plus loads of activities ideas.

STAG WEEKENDS IN THE UK

Brilliant Nightlife

Most major cities in the UK offer outstanding nightlife, big cities such as Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh and Newcastle in the North to Nottingham and Birmingham in the Midlands to Bristol, Cardiff, London and even Reading down south.

Seaside towns which are also incredibly lively especially in the summer months include; Newquay, Bournemouth, Brighton, Swansea and Blackpool being the main stag do destinations.

Choosing the right destination is hugely important, you may find that your best mate went to a certain University and wants to revisit old haunts or fancies a certain type of activity which may determine the actual destination.

For example, if your stag wants to do the fastest zip wire in the world this is located in Snowdonia, North Wales will be destination of choice. Staying in North Wales will make for a rural stag weekend however if you want a lively night out, Chester and Liverpool are both within good driving distances of Snowdonia.

Daytime Activities

In the UK we can be proud of that fact that we have some of the best stag do activities in the world.

You can race unbelievably fast rage buggies (dirt buggies), jump off cliffs in Cornwall, trek up mountains on powerful quad bikes, shoot .22 assault rifles, the options are massive and because you're in the UK you'll be saving money on airfares giving you more budget on some memorable activities.

As mentioned above North Wales has some of the best activities for the adventurous stag group with the Fastest Zip Wire In The World, to the longest Zip Zone in Europe. You can also go surfing on a man made surfing lake (guaranteed surf), Canyoning, White Water Rafting, River Buggies plus all the other popular activities including quad biking, paintball and rage/dirt buggies.

We have a post on in-depth detail on popular UK stag do destinations, giving you the knowledge and could possibly help you make up your mind on where to go.

STAG WEEKENDS ABROAD

There seems to be two main choices when having a stag do abroad and that's city break such as Prague, Budapest or Berlin or you can go for sun, sea and stag do in crazy places like Magaluf, San Antonio, Albufeira or Benidorm.

City Breaks

The European stag do city break goes back years from when your Grandad went on his stag weekend to Amsterdam by ferry and coach, low cost airlines was just a pipe dream for Freddie Laker back then, how things have changed.

Amsterdam is still massively popular but not as much as it used to be with very liberal cities such as Prague, Bratislava, Hamburg and Budapest becoming a lot more popular.

Old Eastern Bloc capitals such as Prague for example are cities where you can really let your hair down with some of the most liberal nightlife in Europe. These type of city breaks you can shoot an AK47, get handcuffed to a Dwarf, prank the stag and get him arrested and eat off a stripper all in one outing!

We offer loads of stag do ideas in Prague on our website from Absinth nights to the incredible Ultimate Shooting package, we also offer loads of packages with and without flights. 

Sun Sea & Stag Do

The Med is your oyster, the most popular locations are in Spain, as they're almost guaranteed sunshine from May to September plus most destinations is Spain is only a 2- 3  hour flight from the UK.

Stag Party Jumping In The Pool


Benidorm, Magaluf (Majorca), San Antonio (Ibiza) and Marbella being the main resorts however if you prefer a little more culture Barcelona is awesome and so is Valencia.

If you're looking for a sunny stag do in the winter months then Playa De Las Americas (Tenerife) is a great choice. Tenerife is just off the North Coast of Africa and will take you approximately four and a half hours on a plane, but it's well worth it in the winter months with temperatures in the high twenties.
Where ever you choose, good luck.

Stag Do Traditions

Image
In the UK a stag do is a tradition, a time when a man calls for all his best mates and friends to get together and celebrate his single life before he gets married. In France they call it " enterrement de vie de garçon" which basically translates to "burial of the life as a boy or bachelor". Back to the UK, usually the 'stag or groom to be', nominates one, two or even three best men who will then take on the task of organising the stag. They will not only organise the it but also arrange what's going to happen on the stag, The Traditions. People think that traditions are hundreds of years old, but in my mind a tradition is something which has passed on from stag to stag. What are these traditions I hear you ask? I'm just getting to that... The Right To Humiliate The Stag Humiliating the stag is a good one to start with, these humiliation rituals are done on different levels of the embarrassment spectrum. The worst I saw was when

Top 10 Stag Do Rules

Image
Stag do rules whether they're funny or serious are part and parcel of a well planned stag do, and we are about to rummage through the depths of another top 10. There are quite a few unwritten rules, which I have written down? To be honest, it wouldn't be much of a top 10 without some stag do etiquette (unwritten rules). By the way if you are lost and are looking for some brilliant stag do games, go here . Rule Number 1 - What Goes On Tour, Stays On Tour This is one of the mentioned unwritten rules, it either makes the stag do sound: Mysteriously amazing Something has happened and no one wants to talk about it  No one can remember However whatever the reason, it's the most important rule to abide by. Rule Number 2 - Don't Leave Your Man Behind Enemy Lines In other words do not leave a member of the stag party asleep in a club, leaving him to get nudged by the bouncer leaving him to traverse his own way back to the hotel. You can also apply this ru

Top 10 Stag Do Movies Of All Time

Image
Stag Do movies are really on the up, over the years this fantastic life experience (your stag do / bachelor party) has also become a must see movie. Here at the DesignaVenture towers we have raided our DVD collections and VHS tapes and watched as many stag do themed films as possible to rate them in our very own special Top 10 stag do movie compilation. So which stag do movies have received the DesignaVenture Movie Gongs: At 10…. Bachelor Party Vegas  (2006 - IMDb rating 4.7/10) Possibly the start of the modern stag do comedy movie where the stars pack their bags and head to Vegas for a weekend to remember, or forget! This funny film also includes lots of naked ladies and even Paintball guns, how very apt. At 9…. Stag Night (2008 - IMDb rating 4.9/10) This is definitely not light hearted or a comedy in any way, a stag party takes the New York underground and gets off at the wrong haunted station, "STAY ON THE TRAIN!". A thriller which will put you off hav

Top 10 Stag Do Games

Image
Stag Do Games are a must on a stag do, not only will it create a togetherness amoungst the group, it will also be fricking funny. Just a word of warning , we do not condone masses amounts of drinking that these games promote, this article is just a service we provide for people that would like to know about stag do games, which obviously includes a little tipple or two. Chicken Run This game is brilliant and includes dressing the stag up as a chicken. SO, dress the stag up in a chicken outfit then, everyone sticks £10 into a kitty and gives it to the stag. The stag dressed up as a chicken has as long as it takes for everyone to buy a drink and finish it to find a bar and drink the kitty dry - just imagine, a bloke sat in a bar, dressed up as a chicken, drinking alone, hilarious! The group splits up into teams of 2 - 3, the first teams to find the stag/chicken get to drink from the kitty. The game is over once the kitty is dry or all the teams have fo

So like the pleasing company we are, here are the rules to this brilliant game that doesn't come with frustration and certainly doesn't ruin a good pub crawl. Pub Golf Rules Rule #1 - Dress Code Everyone MUST dress up like a pro golfer. Socks with a tartan or Argyle pattern if you please, brightly coloured golfing trousers (the more pastel the better), a matching shirt or polo shirt and a sun-visor. Golf shoes are not compulsory but are a great addition.
