Alternative Stag Do Ideas UK & Europe

Car Smash, curling, Paella making & zip wire


We've all been on boys or stag weekends which included so much booze you could fill a swimming pool with, so maybe you fancy something different?

Here are our alternative stag do ideas that your group will love:

1. Bobsleigh - Riga, Latvia

In my mind there is only one place to take your stag party on a weekend and get involved in some Olympic standard Bobsleigh and that's Riga.

In the winter you will hurtle down an Olympic standard Bobsleigh course at break neck speed - not for the faint hearted.

2. ZIP Wire Velocity - North Wales, UK

The fastest zip wire in the world and the longest in Europe and it all takes place in North Wales, Snowdonia to be exact.

Another stag do activity which includes incredible speed, bags of adrenaline and will give the stag an incredible memory to take into his married life, and that's what it's all about!

3. Cornish Games, Newquay

You've watched Baywatch right? The movie not the series, well this is nothing like that! These are incredibly funny games made up for stag parties to have loads of fun and get competitive. Go to our website and see the games included for Cornish Games.

4. Car Smash, Amsterdam - Netherlands

Oh c-mon, legally smashing up a car on a stag do, where do I sign up?

This is all true and we have sold many at DesignaVenture towers, a great stag do activity if the group need to let off some steam in Amsterdam, mind you there are other ways in Amsterdam!

5. Dragon Boat Racing - Milton Keynes, UK

If you're going to compete on the water, then there is nothing like Dragon boat racing.

This activity is ideal for large stag groups as you can really ramp up the competition, just make sure you even out the teams, it would be a shame for one of the boats to sink because there are too many heavy athletes if you get my drift...

6. Deep Sea Fishing - Bournemouth, UK

The perfect gift for the fish loving stag and a complete alternative stag activity.

Chilled out beers onboard, all the tackle and bait the fish can eat, just land some big ones and they will be the stories of the weekend, not the one that got away.

7. Motorsport Madness - Birmingham, UK

A truly epic stag do activity for the motor loving stag party.

Activities include Castor Car Challenge, Double Decker Showdown, Del Boy Challenge, Nag Drag, Dirt Buggies and Push me pull me.

8. Paella Making Course - Valencia, Spain

A brilliant activity for the stag party really looking to do something completely different.

You will learn how to make a chicken and rabbit Paella by a Spanish Masterchef who knows his onions, thankfully. Also included is wine tasting, 3 course meal (where you'll eat your Paella) plus some mementos.

9. Trabant Driving Experience - Berlin, Germany

Get driving a 2 stroke, old Commie car around the amazing streets of Berlin. Your fleet of these old Trabant cars will really get the crowds looking, they'll think it is some sort of Top Gear Challenge.

10. Spa Experience, Bristol, UK

Before you spit your beer out and start chanting Lads, Lads, Lads. What's wrong with going on a spa day? You've done it with your Mrs, so now's your chance to relax with your best mates you grew up with, I am pretty sure you'll have a much better time!

We have all these activities and many more stag do ideas on the DesignaVenture website.

11. Curling, Prague, Czech Republic

I know curling is a Scottish sport so why do you need to travel all the way to Prague to do it? Well first of all it's Prague. Enough said? Secondly, it's absolutely hilarious whilst you get the hang of the grippy shoes. And thirdly, it's Prague, Oh I've already said that, well it is Prague.

12. Formula F1 Weekend, Barcelona, Spain

Experience the incredible atmosphere and do something completely different by doing a 3 day general admission ticket to the Spanish Grand Prix. Our Formula 1 Barcelona Grand Prix Package includes the lot and works out cheaper than going to the British Grand Prix, even when you add on flights!

F1 Weekend

13. Canoeing Weekend, Herefordshire, UK

Really step out of society for a weekend and canoe down the river wye for your stag weekend, camping for 2 nights and drifting down river without a care in the world. Possibly this will be the most relaxing stag weekend you'll ever go on.

14. Ascot Horse Racing Weekend, Reading UK

Going to the horses on a stag do isn't exactly alternative as it's been done, but it hasn't been done properly. Here at DesignaVenture we organise 2 nights in a 4 star hotel, transfers and entry tickets, so all you have to do is turn up and have a good time. Surely that's what it's all about?

15. Fire Eating Masterclass, London

Kings of Leon wrote 'Sex On Fire' whilst doing a fire eating masterclass on a DesignaVenture stag do in London. OK, that's not exactly true (well none of it's true) but your tongue will be on fire unless you listen to the instructor. When I went we did a fire eating routine to Sex on Fire and it was epic, the lads had a great time! One of my mates told me it cured his bad breath, not sure if that's exactly true!

Whatever you get up to, have a good one!

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

The Rules To Pub Golf

Image
Liven up your stag night with a theme or game, and there's no better stag do game than pub golf. So here at the DesignaVenture Towers we have been listening to our stag parties and recently we have been asked for the rules to the stag do game Pub Golf . 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. Rule #2 - Pick Your Course Wisely At your chosen stag weekend destination you're going to need a pub crawl route. 9 pubs / bars in fairly close proximity of each other, to add to the theme try and pick sports bars or pubs or a pub/bar with a r
