10 Essential Birmingham Stag Do Ideas & Activities

Updated December 2025

If you have decided to have a Stag weekend in Birmingham, you are in for a treat. Birmingham is a real crowd-pleaser. It’s big, it’s loud, and it gets you a lot more bang for your buck than London.

From shooting zombies in a derelict warehouse to walking in the footsteps of the Peaky Blinders, here are the 10 essential ideas for a legendary Birmingham stag do.

1. Peaky Pistols Shooting Experience

The Vibe: By Order of the Peaky Blinders.

Birmingham was the home of the real Peaky Blinders, and this immersive experience pays homage to them. You’ll be transported back to the 1920s, armed with replica period weaponry (like the Webley Revolver and Tommy Gun). You’ll navigate a film-set quality location, shooting at targets in a replica of the Garrison Pub. It’s atmospheric, competitive, and perfect for the groom.

2. Zombie Apocalypse Experience

The Vibe: Terrifying & Immersive.

This isn't just a game; it's a fight for survival. You are dropped into a zombie-plagued landscape equipped with realistic weapons. You have to work together to shoot the undead, solve puzzles, and escape before you get bitten. It’s intense, adrenaline-pumping, and one of the best stag activities in the UK.

3. Electric Shock Football

The Vibe: Shocking Banter.

Standard 5-a-side football is fine, but adding 1,000 volts of electricity makes it memorable. Each player wears a shock collar, and the controls are given to the "referee" (and sometimes the stag!). Trying to score a goal while your leg muscles spasm uncontrollably is comedy gold.

4. Paintball Kill House

The Vibe: Special Forces.

Forget running around a muddy field. The **Paintball Kill House** is an indoor Close Quarters Battle (CQB) simulation. You’ll be dressing up as Special Forces soldiers to rescue hostages and clear rooms in a converted manor house. It’s intense, tactical, and hurts just enough to make it real.

5. Zorb Football

The Vibe: Bouncing Carnage.

A modern classic. You play football while encased in a giant inflatable bubble. Tackling becomes a full-body slam that sends your opponent rolling across the pitch. It’s physically exhausting but guarantees laughs.

6. Jungle Escape (I'm a Stag Get Me Out of Here)

The Vibe: Outdoor Survival.

Based on the popular TV show, this outdoor escape room challenges your group to master a series of trials to escape the "jungle." You won't have to eat any bugs (thankfully), but you will have to use your brains and brawn to complete the challenges in time.

7. Bar Crawl Babes

The Vibe: VIP Nightlife Tour.

Birmingham’s nightlife is legendary, but it’s huge. To make sure you hit the best spots without getting lost, hire the **Bar Crawl Babes**. These local experts will guide you to the best bars on Broad Street, handle the kitty, and get you queue jumps. It takes the stress out of the evening completely.

8. Taser Tag

The Vibe: Pain with a Purpose.

Laser tag is for kids. Taser tag is for stags. It’s the same concept—shoot your mates to score points—but every time you get hit, you get a genuine electric shock. It raises the stakes significantly and makes for a much more cautious (and hilarious) game.

9. Go Karting

The Vibe: Fast & Furious.

Birmingham has some of the best karting tracks in the country, including massive indoor multi-level tracks. It’s the ultimate way to settle who is the best driver in the group. The loser buys the first round on Broad Street.

10. Stay in Party Apartments

The Vibe: Private HQ.

Instead of splitting up into hotel rooms, book a **Party Apartment** in the city centre. Having a communal living space where you can play poker, drink beers, and recover together makes the weekend feel much more cohesive.
