Cambridge might not spring to mind as the ideal place to have your stag do, but if you stop and think about it, why not? It's had one of the most famous universities in the world since 1209, and if over eight hundred years of students has taught the city anything, it's how to provide nightlife and other entertainment! So why not take advantage of that with a Cambridge Stag Do?
The city is beautiful and interesting, with lots of things to see and do while you walk through it. There is also a beautiful park smack bang in the middle of the city if you want somewhere to relax or kick a ball about. There are also electric scooters and bikes you can hire to get around, which are definitely worth it, as they are loads of fun! All of these aspects (plus loads more) help to give Cambridge a very specific type of atmosphere; welcoming, exciting and historical.
Cambridge is a university city and has been for nearly a thousand years. Given that, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of places for people to stay in this bustling location. We can organize cheap and cheerful chain hotels or local guest houses that put you right in the centre of the action.
However, for a proper stag weekend, we recommend upgrading to a private property where you can make your own noise. For large groups, The Ranch is a legendary option on the Beds/Herts border, offering festival-style glamping and a house that sleeps up to 24. If you want luxury with a pool, check out Country Haven. These party houses give you a base to relax, barbecue, and recover without hotel staff watching over you.
Activity wise, a Cambridge Stag Do will definitely not be lacking. Cambridge offers a great range of activities, from a sedate game of Turbo-Ten Cricket, right through to the utter mayhem of Zorb Football! No matter what excitement level your group requires, this city can easily provide it. Popular options include locking and loading with a shotgun for Clay Pigeon Shooting, a traditional game of Paintball, or the infamous Footgolf.
Sometimes you don’t want an activity that requires a lot of effort though. If you are keen to have a drink or three and enjoy the beautiful scenery, we cannot recommend Punting enough! A hugely popular option in Cambridge, you can grab some drinks and food from the nearby shops and then get onto a traditional punt, where the punter will act as a tour guide, talking you through the sights and sounds of Cambridge from the chilled out location of the river.
No matter how many activities you take part in, your nights out will be the true star of your Cambridge stag do. This seemingly reserved city is easily one of the top student hotspots of the world, offering a huge array of bars, pubs and clubs, and more drink offers than you can possibly imagine!
Whether you’ve taken advantage of the greyhound racing or spent the evening touring around the bars, you still need somewhere to end up at the end of the night. Luckily a Cambridge Stag Do has many options, with multiple nightclubs playing all kinds of music. Alternatively, there are some popular casinos and gentlemen's clubs if you’d prefer something a bit different. No matter where you pick, you’ll find yourself well entertained until the sun comes up.
