Newquay Stag Do Ideas: Best Activities & Itineraries

Newquay is the surf capital of the UK, a fishing port, and arguably the best party town in the South West. With a summer population that swells to over 100,000, it offers an incredible atmosphere for a stag weekend. Whether you want a chilled surf trip or a chaotic clubbing weekend, here are our top Newquay stag do ideas.

The Surf Lodge Experience

For those travelling on a budget, Newquay offers something unique: the Surf Lodge. These are clean, friendly, hostel-style accommodations that provide a great party atmosphere. They often have bars, pool tables, and bunk rooms perfect for large groups.

If hostels aren’t your style, we can arrange private party houses that sleep up to 20 people, sometimes even with their own cinema rooms!

Catch a Wave

Newquay is the surf capital for a reason. Powered by Atlantic rollers, Fistral Beach produces powerful, hollow waves which are ideal for surfing. If your stag party wants a great activity, we recommend a morning surf lesson. It’s not only great exercise but also the best hangover cure known to man. Words can’t describe the exhilaration of riding your first wave.

Adrenaline & Motors

If getting wet isn't your thing, there are plenty of land-based options:

Clay Pigeon Shooting: The nearest range is only about 10km outside of town. Don’t forget your plus fours!

Quad Biking: A track with banked bends, table tops, and steep inclines awaits just 20 minutes away. It’s a proper test of driving ability.

Coasteering: For the brave, this involves scrambling along the rocky coastline and jumping off cliffs into the sea. It’s heart-pumping and downright thrilling.

Retro Fun

In the summertime, we offer Inflatable Games (think "It's a Knockout"). It’s a riotous mix of huge inflatable costumes, water, foam, and falling over. If you are looking for unbridled hilarity and a bonding exercise, this is the one.

Legendary Nightlife

Nightlife is going to play a massive part on your stag weekend. We recommend Berties Nightclub, a stalwart of the scene that has become legendary. Beyond that, there is the Eden Bar (a three-floor venue with a cocktail bar and Latin club) or Whiskers for something a bit different. In the summer months, the town is absolutely bouncing.
