Southampton is one of the largest cities on the south coast, yet it is commonly overlooked as a stag do destination. While it may not have the reputation of somewhere like Brighton or Bournemouth, it is every bit as good a destination for stag parties to let loose and give the stag the best night of his life.
A Southampton Stag Do is a guaranteed good time. After all, with plenty of activities at your fingertips, a great selection of nightlife in front of you, and one of the most inviting atmospheres of any destination, why wouldn’t you visit Southampton for the Stag Do of your life?
There are boatloads of accommodation available in this beautiful city, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing where to stay for the weekend. Since we don't have large rural party houses in the city centre itself, we excel in providing City Centre Hotels and Self-Catering Apartments.
If budget is a concern, there are some brilliantly located Hotels and Guest Houses that will keep your package price down while still being a perfect home for you and the lads. Alternatively, if you are looking for something with a bit more style and panache, Southampton’s got you covered with some amazing high-quality hotels available throughout the city centre.
For groups who want their own space, our Party Apartments are ideal. They give you a communal living area to enjoy a beer before heading out to the nearby bars on Oxford Street.
Obviously, with Southampton being a famous port, there are lots of boat and water-based activities available. One of the most popular options is to go out and try some Sea Fishing – after all, who wouldn’t want to spend an afternoon on a boat relaxing, drinking, and trying to catch some fish with your mates?
Alternatively, if you want something water-based but with a bit more of an adrenaline rush, then the Powerboats activity is the one for you. You'll blast across the Solent at high speeds—guaranteed to clear any hangover!
Not everything is water-based, of course. As Southampton is located close to the famous New Forest, outdoor activities are commonplace. One that is always a good laugh is a session of Zorbing. You’ll climb into a giant inflatable ball and then see how well you can survive hurtling down a nearby hill.
There are plenty of other popular activities as well. Clay Pigeon Shooting gives you the chance to get competitive with each other, while a session of Extreme Trampolining is as much fun as it sounds.
Southampton’s generosity doesn’t go away at night either. There are so many options for you to choose from. On the first night out, a lot of Stag Dos like an activity that gives everyone the chance to chat and bond over a few drinks. What would suit that requirement better than a few games of American Pool? You can enjoy some drinks, snacks, and a few games of this classic sport before heading out.
Once you are all acquainted, you’ll find that the nightlife really steps up a notch. The selection of bars and pubs is huge, particularly around Oxford Street, ensuring that you can visit as many of them as you can manage.
After exploring the best drinking establishments, you’ll want somewhere else to go to end the night. Luckily, Southampton is not short of options here. There are Nightclubs galore in this city, playing a wide range of music. If a nightclub isn’t where you want to end up, then there are plenty of other options like live music venues, Gentlemen’s Clubs, and Casinos.
