It's a brilliant idea which will get everyone talking about how epic your stag party was, and this will make it stand out from the rest. Everyone loves a celeb.
Beer Bike
This is not going on your mountain bike holding a can of beer, it's the beer bike. A large bike complete with a table and plenty seating for you and your mates, you all pedal your way around a city.
The beer bike is best in a city abroad, preferably in the summer, when the weather is better.
Stag Arrest
Imagine the stag's face when he get's arrested! It's all fake and in good fun of course, but don't tell him that. He'll find out in good time, usually with a nice little surprise at the end.
Getting him a fake arrest is a hilarious way to stitch him up, and he should take it in good humour.
Axe Throwing
Imagine playing darts, kind of cool...But what about using an Axe? That's kind of what axe throwing is all about, and it's booming in popularity.
Get in their first with organising axe throwing for your stag party.
Demolition Derby
Fancy driving some cars and smashing into each other? No need to worry about damaging your own car, this is demolition derby.
There's places which have a demolition derby, hire cars which you can drive around and race, smashing into your friends to get past them and take the chequered flag.
Escape Room
You and the lads are in a room and have to solve how you're going to get out. That's what the escape room is all about.
You and the guys will have to work together, solve puzzles and get clues to be able to escape.
Football Darts
Iiiiiiin One! What do you get when you combine football and darts? It's football darts.
Giant dart board that you kick footballs at, it's just like darts but using your football skills, and is a load of fun.
Extreme Water Jet pack
The most fun you can have in the water, it's the extreme water jet pack. Gravity defying, you can feel the wind beneath you while you're flying in the air, performing tricks.
Inflatable Games
Inflatable games aren't just for kids any more. You can check out an inflatables centre or park, which are purpose built for adults, with a lot of fun and games which can be challenging.
Nerf War
It's like paint balling without getting hurt, it's the Nerf war. Find a place which has this facility, which is usually a large indoor arena which is purpose built for a war with your mates.
Gaming Tournament
We're all into gaming now, so a gaming tournament could be on the cards. Whether it's a FIFA tournament, Fortnite or Call Of Duty, there's plenty of games you and the lads can play.
This is really affordable, so is on the list if you're looking for a cheap stag do on a budget.
Abseil
We're all scared of heights right? You can try to overcome this with a big abseil. Find a place which organises such things, and then it's an adrenaline rush for those who are willing to partake.
Boat Party
I'm on a boat! If you've got the cash, hiring a private boat for a party is definitely something which is unique. Not a lot of stags will be doing this, but if you can get enough of friends to group together, it could be something to consider.
Hot Rod Tour
Driving round a city in Europe in some funky cars, this could be your very own hot rod tour.
Monster Trucks
Did you ever see a monster tracks show as a child and wanted to have a go? Now you're all grown up, you can!
Driving monster trucks is something unusual you can do on a stag which everyone will love to do.
Wipeout In Amsterdam
You've probably seen Total Wipeout on TV, and you can now do something similar, with Wipeout in Amsterdam.
Get the lads to do this wacky and fun assault course, and see who really is the best of all the stags.
River Cruise Boat Party
If you want to drink but want something different to a bar crawl, a river cruise boat party could be something to consider.
The boats go up the river, but this is no relaxing picturesque setting. Instead, the purpose built boats are discos on the sea, with lots of alcohol flowing and a good time for all. A river booze cruise is a great idea.
Bubble Football
Football without the dirty tackles, it's bubble football. You and your mates are encapsulated in a large bubble, with your legs exposed so you can run and kick the ball.
The fun part is crashing into each other, and knocking each other down which is inevitable.
Go Karting
Go karting is a stag do activity you can do through the day. If you're looking for stag party activities with no alcohol, this is the one.
Do a few practice laps and then it's the big race. Will you be victorious?
Craft Beer Tasting
Beer is not just about the famous lager brands anymore, craft beer is taking over the world. You and the lads can do a craft beer tasting, and get a real sense of what good brew actually tastes like.
Gin Tasting
Gin is in. At one time gin was gin, but no more. There's tons of gins, and if that's your thing, a gin tasting session could be something unusual for you and the others to do.
Whisky Tasting
Mostly for the older gents or those who are alcohol connoisseurs, whisky tasting is something you can try.
Great for an over 50s stag, there's particular events you can do in Ireland and Scotland, sampling premium Scotch and Irish whiskies. There's also local options too, depending on where you are.
Pizza Making
Who doesn't like pizza? If you and the lads love a bit of food and fancy yourself a foodie, pizza making could be something fun you can do. With endless toppings and choices for crust, you'll not go hungry doing this.
Airsoft
An alternative to paint balling is airsoft. It's a similar style of event, without the paint. Pick teams, run around a battle field and shoot each other. What could be more fun?
4x4 Off Road
Whether it's buggy's or some other kinds of vehicles, 4x4 off roading is a fun activity you can do during the day. You may want a change of clothes, as it can get quite messy.
Bobsleigh
If your stag weekend is taking place in a cold country, a bobsleigh is something which you may be able to do. This is a fun and quirky thing you're able to do which could set your day apart from everyone else's.
Bungee Jump
It's the one thing which separates the men from the boys, it's a bungee jump. Do you have the balls to try this out? It's the scary few seconds of your life.
Jelly Wrestling
Watching bikini-clad girls wrestling in a paddling pool filled with jelly? That sounds like a good idea, and it's jelly wrestling.
Day At The Races
Dress to impress and go to the races with the boys. It's one of the posh stag do activities you can do, but it's a whole load of fun. Check the racing calendar for your nearest horse race, and go.
Greyhound Racing aka The Dogs
If you fancy a flutter another way is going greyhound racing, aka the dogs. It's an unusual activity for a stag do, but one which is increasing in popularity. Place a few bets, have some drinks, and hopefully celebrate a big win.
Limo Strippers

Don't forget that you'll want to dress the part, and wearing matching stag night shirts is an easy way of doing just that.
Outdoor Laser Tag
It's laser tag, but not as you know it. This is not some kids game indoors, it's a full on battleground where you have assault rifles shooting each other.
Don't worry, there's no pain, as they're lasers, and you're wearing clever receivers which can register when you've been hit. This is the most fun and painless way of running around shooting each other.
Rugged Segway
Ever fancied a walk around the countryside but don't want to actually walk? A Segway is a fun way to do it.
You can and boys can get yourselves a rugged Segway each and explore the great outdoors, and have fun at the same time.
Stadium Tour
Football lovers will definitely be up for a stadium tour. If your stag weekend takes you to a city with a big football team, a stadium tour is a must do activity for football fans.
