Bookado Recommends – Our favourite Stag Do Activity
Before we dive into the bulk of the activities, we’d like to point out our favourite stag do activity to do at the moment. We tried Alcotraz in Manchester and thought it was fantastic, perfect for a Stag Do! Why?
You can bring your own spirits to the event, simply hand the bottles to the prison guards and let the ‘chef’ ply you with a variety of cocktails. This helps keep the cost down but also ensures everyone can have a very jolly start to the stag do.
Alcotraz is unique, it’s a prison setting and you’re the jailbird! The staff are all in character, they are mostly on your side, apart from the warden…
Gives you time to actually talk! A stag do normally means a mix of total strangers meeting each other for the first time. Alcotraz is the perfect way to get things started as in between the interactive moments, there is ample time to get to know your fellow inmates.
- Price: This is great value for money! It’s normally £36.99pp at the time of writing, but Bookado members can get 15% off for the whole group.
- When: Afternoon/Evening
- Locations: London, Manchester, Brighton, Liverpool
- How to book: Book directly with Alcotraz. To get your Bookado discount, click reveal code when logged in.

2. Best Stag Do Activities Spring & Summer Daytime | On a Hangover
These activities are best kept for the ‘morning after’. When you’re feeling a little bit worse for wear, these activities are sure to get some life back into the group again.
Ideally, this adventurous activity is done prior to drinking excesses as it is quite challenging and requires good coordination skills. Combining rock climbing, cliff jumping and sea swimming, Coasteering is the ultimate way to push your boundaries and get a buzz. Thanks to a wetsuit, coasteering in Newquay can be done all-year round even during the colder months.
Got some more time? Make it a weekend with camping and surfing.
