More Bristol Stag Do Tips

You’ve got all your classic stag do experiences in Bristol, from a combined Blind Driving, Clay Pigeons & Off-Road Buggies Experience, to the ever-popular Paintballing - make sure the groom-to-be is wearing something nice and bright!

However, if you and the lads would like to try something a little different during your stay, then we’ve got you covered on that front too. You could try a hilarious West Country Themed Games afternoon - think drunk pub skittles, cider run (don’t drink beforehand is our advice), and the brilliant welly wanging. Alternatively, Bristol also has awesome Woodlands Survival Weekends available, where you can learn some useful bushcraft skills in case of a zombie apocalypse. Essentially, whatever you and the guys are into, you’ll find Bristol will keep you satisfied.

But that’s far from all. We said this is a first-rate stag do venue, and we meant it. There’s no end of things to do in Bristol on a stag weekend before the sun goes down and the beers with it. For starters, what about joining a street art walking tour? There’s around 200 street artists and graffiti writers at work in Bristol, and of course the most famous is Banksy. Some of the mystery artist’s earliest works can still be seen around the city, including Mild, Mild West near The Canteen, and Grim Reaper, now housed at the M Shed museum on the Princess Wharf.

Bristol has everything from high-rope courses to axe-throwing and even surf lessons for more active stag groups. We can also help you to arrange Archery, Footgolf, and Mud Buggy Driving, always a hit on Bristol stag weekends.

This is also a major hub for craft brewing. There are 20 or so breweries in Bristol, and several have tap rooms where you can enjoy a tasting session of the local offerings. Moor Beer Company near Temple Meads train station is a good option, with a tap house, shop and site tours on offer - plus it has vegan-friendly beers too. Several central pubs also brew their own small batches for punters to try; these include King Street Brewhouse and Zero Degrees. 

But at heart, Bristol remains a cider city, and you can find locally fermented cider in pubs all over the place. The Cider Box is home to a tap room under an old Victorian railway arch - it’s not too much of a trek getting there, so if that’s your thing, we recommend you have at it. And naturally, there are loads of great beer gardens around Bristol that are ideal for a spot of sunny day drinking. The Arnolfini Café Bar is always lively, with a central location, picturesque views of the historic harbour, and a solid commitment to reduce their carbon footprint wherever possible.
