Stag Do Ideas For The Summer



The summer is the ultimate time to have your stag weekend, you've got the weather, time off and oh it's close to the actual wedding date*, it's traditional to have your stag do before your wedding however tradition these days has gone out the window and some stag weekends are held when the. weather is better.

*According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) wedding breakdowns by season are:

Spring: 33.4%

Summer: 38.6%

Autumn: 22.7%

Winter: 5.3%

So we've put together some summer stag do ideas which are available throughout the UK.

Whether you've booked a city centre hotel or a Air B&B in the country, it's always a great idea to have an event to keep the boys busy, out the pub and giving the groom a memorable event he can post on social media, might be the only time photos are allowed!

Stag do ideas....

Rage buggy racing - This is a great way to get your adrenaline pumping and is one of our favourite all time activities. You'll be driving a high-powered off-road buggy around a specially designed track, competing against your mates, what more do you need.

Quad biking - Another off-road adventure, this time on four wheels. You'll be either navigating rough terrain, mud, and puddles while trying to beat your buddies to the finish line, or off road trekking around countryside only quad bikes can get around. 

White water rafting - This is a thrilling summer stag do activity, however some stags are brave enough to do it in the winter. You and your mates need to navigate rapids and working together as a team to make it down the river without capsizing.

Beer bike - A unique and lairy way to explore the city while enjoying a cold pint. You'll be peddling your way around while sipping on your favourite beers, luckily a sober hired driver will make sure you don't crash.




Bubble football - A incredible twist to the classic game, football. You'll be wearing inflatable bubbles and trying to score goals while bouncing around and colliding with your opponents, it's the only time in football where fouling is the name of the game.

Paintballing - This is THE classic stag do activity that never goes out of style. You'll be suited up in protective gear, designed to stop the paint hitting your clothes and armed with paintball guns to do some damage against your opponents. Games have adapted over the years to become more exciting and frantic than ever, so be prepared for the adrenaline.

Indoor / Outdoor go-karting - This is another popular high-speed stag do activity that will have you and your friends racing around a track in high powered electric karts (indoor) or petrol powered engines for massive outdoor tracks. Always popular with the lads whether they're a petrol head or just plain competitive. 

Escape room - This is a great activity for those who enjoy problem-solving and puzzling puzzles. You'll be locked in a room and need to work together to solve clues and escape before time runs out, most big stag groups are split up into different rooms, so the competition is to see which group gets out first, that's if they get out!

Axe throwing - A unique activity that involves throwing axes at a target (obviously). Usually Axe throwing wouldn't make the cut but over years it has become popular with stag and hen groups and it's a great way to blow off some steam.

Zip Wire - More and more ziplines are popping up around the country and if you're looking for an incredibly fast thrill, a zip wire should be on your stag weekend itinerary. The best Zip Wire that needs to be mention is in North Wales, up in Snowdonia we have the fastest zip wire in the work and the longest!

Whatever you get up to this summer....

Have a good one

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

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

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

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.
