Stag do ideas

[24lemons]

I have to arrange a stag do some time between now and the end of May. It needs to be UK based, ideally in the midlands and it will be a 1-2 day event. It cant cost too much per person either.

I'd anticipate about 5-6 people will be going but I haven't had numbers confirmed yet.

We want it to focus on an event or activity of some kind. Any suggestions welcome, particularly more unusual stuff that I havent thought of!

I'm a quiet person so heavy drinking and the like in town isn't really my thing.

My mates organised a go ape tree climbing thing, was pretty good fun as we could take the piss and actually have time to chat

We then had a nice meal, then some quiet drinks


I wouldn't have minded doing a canal boat weekend as it would be a laugh, but best man is a teacher with a youngen so couldn't get away long enough to make it worth while


I've been on some crazy stags where we've flown for half the weekend and then got drunk, not fun coming back!

Maybe a go karting & bowling event followed by a few beers, a curry & lap dancing. I'd be happy with that

That sounds quite civilised. I've done go ape before but didn't think of that as a stag do. I think something along those lines has potential.

ETA i didn't mean the lap dancing when I said civilised although a go karting day could be good. The groom to be always beats me at karting though!

Mine - admittedly a long time ago - was a day's paintballing followed by a wash up, re-meet in town and drinks/dinner/club. Paintball was fun, also had the advantage it staved off the heavy drinking until evening.

I was still slipped enough alcohol that the hangover didn't kick in until 3pm the following day...during lunch with the future in-laws...

I've considered the canal boat thing, a colleague does it quite a lot. He recommended Llangollen as a good beginners trip. I guess one of you needs to remain sober enough to use the rudder...

Other ideas.... private tour of XH558 followed by serious drinking in Nottingham?

For my 30th - 10 of us went up Snowdon by a more challenging route, cream teas at the top (not in the cafe - all humped up). Then, serious amounts of booze in Llanberis.

My God; are you, me?

Your stag do was a carbon copy of mine.

Went on one last year in Liverpool. We did watersports at the activity centre near Albert docks. Canoeing, zorbing, trampoline and then a blast in a powerboat followed by a piss up in the bars.
