Leeds Stag Dos have been a staple of the stag do market for many years, and for a damn good reason. It has the fourth largest student population in the entire country, and we all know that more students equals more nightlife. In short, Leeds is a destination which you should definitely be considering for your stag do weekend.
Drinking and nightlife are not the only reason to consider a Leeds Stag Do – this city is well known for beautiful architecture, amazing scenery and being an amazing cultural hub. So whatever you like to do when you aren’t taking part in pre-planned activities on your Leeds Stag Do, this city has many options for you to entertain yourselves.
The accommodation options for your Leeds Stag Do cover a broad range of options suitable for all budgets. Whether you just want somewhere to lay your head down because you’re going to spend the entire time out on the town, or whether you want to live the life of luxury.
While we have plenty of central hotels and hostels, the best way to experience Yorkshire is by booking a private Stag Party House. This gives you your own space for pre-drinks and banter without worrying about other hotel guests.
We highly recommend The Leeds Tub. This open-plan party house features a hot tub and is ideal for groups who plan on mixing up exploring the city and partying at the house. It’s the perfect base for a legendary weekend.
Leeds is absolutely jam-packed with activities that will enhance your stag do. With more than fifty different activities, let's look at some of the most popular.
Football Activities: Leeds has a long history with the beautiful game. Being in a location so deeply tied to the sport means that booking a five-a-side game is often a popular option. But what if you want something a bit different? We offer Zorb Football, Goggle Football, and Electric Shock Football. Check out our Bouncing Off The Walls Package to combine Zorb Football with accommodation and nightlife!
Shooting & Outdoors: Clay Pigeon Shooting is certainly something that is added to Leeds Stag Dos on a pretty regular basis. After all, it’s not only a thrilling activity in itself, but it can be supremely competitive. For something unique, try Bushcraft—learning how to survive in the wild is definitely something that will bring you all together.
Indoor Snowboarding: Another activity that you don’t find in that many destinations is the Indoor Snowboarding option. Let's be honest, in the UK, indoor snowboarding is the only way you’ll ever get to experience the sport reliably!
You can’t mention the Nightlife on a Leeds Stag Do without mentioning the big one – the world famous Otley Run. This is a mammoth sixteen-venue bar crawl that starts in Headingley and ends up nearly two and a half miles away. It has become a rite of passage for many of the student population in the city, and is genuinely one of the best bar crawls you’ll ever experience.
If you don’t fancy the Otley Run, then you’ll be wondering what other types of nightlife there are around. Whether you like local quiet pubs where you can chat away while sinking a pint or three, or popular chain bars where they sell every type of booze you’ve ever imagined, Leeds has it for you. There’s even a Bierkeller, which is always worth a visit for the electric atmosphere.
Obviously once you’ve finished visiting as many bars as humanly possible, you’re going to want somewhere to go for the end of the evening. Nightclubs of all shapes and sizes are dotted around the city, along with gentlemen’s clubs and casinos. To put it bluntly, the biggest problem with a night out in Leeds is that you’ll always feel like you didn’t get to try everywhere you wanted to go!
