What are the Best Stag Do Ideas in Bristol?

We’ve outlined some of our very best stag do ideas below, with activities to suit a range of budgets:

1. Velocity Paintball

Paintball is a classic stag do activity for a reason – it’s cheap, fun, and provides a barrel of laughs with your mates. Our outdoor paintball arena in Bristol offers unique and challenging game zones to explore with top-of-the-line equipment to create the ultimate competition for you and your fellow stags. During each session, you and the guys will enjoy up to 7 games over a 3-hour period, as well as an award show at the end.

Fancy embarrassing the main man? Why not buy him a cheap second-hand wedding dress to wear over his paintball gear? That’ll certainly make him an eye-catching target on the battlefield!

Book now through our website.

2. Whiskey / Beer Tasting

For those of you looking for a wild night out – doing a whiskey or beer-tasting event is a great way to start the evening. Not only is it educational (that is, if you manage to remember it), but its a great way for you and your mates to bond over a few of your favourite drinks. 

Whiskey is great for a slightly classier stag do in Bristol but beer is a more cost-effective option. Of course, there is also the option of wine, gin, or cocktail tasting too if you are that way inclined!

Book yours through Bristol Beer Factory or Milk Thistle for your whiskey tasting (alongside board games and cheese boards, the total package!).

3. It’s a Knockout

We’ve all seen Total Wipeout and thought to ourselves I could totally do that… well, now’s the time to put the theory to the test! It’s a Knockout in Bristol offers a wet Total-Wipeout-style assault course featuring bouncy inflatables covered in foam, 15ft inflatable climbing walls, and more. They describe themselves as a ‘sports day for grown-ups’ and we certainly agree!

Perfect for stag do’s in Bristol, It’s a Knockout offers a range of packages at different price points, with some even offering accommodation and food too. 

4. Axe Throwing

Much like paintballing in Bristol, axe throwing is an awesome way to keep all the stags entertained whilst enjoying a beer or two. Whistle Punks is popular amongst stag groups, and is just a 5-minute walk from the Harbourside, which is an ideal spot to keep the vibes going afterwards. 

Plus, unlike footie or golf, you don’t have to have done axe throwing before to be half decent at it – anyone can end up a winner!

5. A Classic Bar Crawl

If your head stag loves nothing more than a pint with the lads, then going for a bar crawl around Bristol is a great option – there’s plenty to choose from, even if you’re just after a quiet few drinks with your mates. The Harbourside in Bristol is your best bet for pubs, clubs, and casinos (aka… everything you need for a great stag night). Some of our favourite stops include:

• The Cocktail Club
• O’Neill’s Pub
• The Bristol Stable
• The Shakespeare Tavern
• Harbour House
• Loose Cannon Cocktail Bar
• Ending the night at PRYZM nightclub!

6. Private Boat Party

It’s not quite Ibiza, but if you’re on a budget, Bristol Ferry Boats offers an epic way to celebrate on the water. Set sail down the River Avon with your own private boat, complete with drinks, music, and scenic views of Bristol’s waterfront. 

Perfect for groups looking to keep the vibe going without the typical club scene, these boats often come equipped with a sound system and an option to bring along your own food and drinks for a laid-back stag experience.

And for a little extra fun? Don’t forget the sexy sailor outfit for the stag!

7. Beer, Burgers, & Boobs

For a perfectly well-rounded night, wrap up the lads’ get-together with top-notch food and a view worth toasting! Infinity Weekends in Bristol offers packages where you can enjoy classic pub grub and drinks, served by topless waitresses, adding a cheeky twist to the evening. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and the perfect way to give the groom a night he won’t forget.

8. Electric Shock Football

Looking for a lot of chaos and a lot of laughs? Shock-football is a must-try! Imagine you and the lads playing a regular game of football – but with a twist: each player is strapped with an electric shock device that can zap players at any time! Every shock adds a hilarious element, sending stags tumbling, tripping, and scrambling to stay on their feet.

Electric Shock Football is perfect for bringing out everyone’s competitive (and slightly sadistic) side, without taking things too seriously.
