A Leicester stag do is guaranteed to be filled with entertainment, excitement, and some of the wildest times you’ve ever experienced. There’s just something about the atmosphere in this Midlands city that makes it an absolutely superb destination for a legendary weekend away. It may not have been high on your list at the start of your research, but trust us—you should absolutely consider it.
After all, when you look at it logically, it has so many good points that make a Leicester stag weekend a perfect option. It is home to two universities (which means it thrives on a vibrant nightlife scene), it is incredibly easy to get to from anywhere in the UK, and it offers better value for money than many southern counterparts.
All joking aside (about it being the home of Walkers Crisps), Leicester has a unique atmosphere. It is warm, welcoming, and perfectly set up for groups who want to celebrate in style without the pretension of bigger capitals.
Accommodation isn’t a hassle here. In fact, your options for where to stay are broad and cover all bases. No matter what your group size or budget, the city provides.
If you are a group who just wants a clean, central base to rest your head between activities and drinking sessions, we can arrange great value-for-money city centre hotels or local guest houses. These keep you right in the heart of the action, meaning no expensive taxis at the end of the night.
However, the data shows that more groups are looking for a private experience. If you fancy something grander, we can secure large party apartments or even a party house in Leicester. These options often come with spacious living areas, allowing the lads to gather for pre-drinks before hitting the town. Whether you need a budget bed or a luxury pad with spa facilities, it is easily arrangeable. One of the best things about a stag do destination like this is that the accommodation is invariably well-located.
There is a huge selection of activities to choose from for your package, which is great because it means that whatever you enjoy doing, you’ll have the chance to do it here. Our most popular activities tend to be of the driving variety—partly because there are so many high-octane options nearby!
If you are stuck for inspiration on how to fill your itinerary, it is always worth checking out what other groups have done before you. We have published full diaries from previous groups who have conquered the city, detailing their experiences with everything from tank driving battles to guided pub crawls. You can read these war stories in our real Leicester stag reviews blog, which is packed with honest feedback and itinerary ideas to help you plan your own legendary weekend.
For those looking for speed, you can put your foot down with Go-Karting, battle off-road terrain with Quad Biking, or if you REALLY want to step it up a notch, you can jump into an armoured battle machine. Our fantastic Tank Driving activity is legendary in this region—driving a 40mm cannon-equipped tank is an experience you will never forget.
But maybe you don’t want to drive? Maybe you’d prefer to do something that involves physical agility? If that’s the case, why not try the High Ropes Course? Always popular (especially in Spring and Summer), this course will test your mettle as you climb higher and higher, walk across beams, and challenge yourself to jump off at the end—if you’ve got the guts!
Some groups take a completely opposite approach and look for things that involve very little physical exertion. Luckily, there are plenty of relaxed options to add to your package. A trip to the Horse Racing perhaps? It involves gambling, drinking, and relaxing all in one go. Or how about a Poker Tournament, a session of Cyber Golf, or even a trip in a hot air balloon if you really want to push the boat out?
Once you’ve recovered from your day of activities, you’ll want a night full of excitement and energy—and a Leicester stag night is no slouch in that department. It is always worth going out for a meal before you start drinking (to make sure you aren’t going out on an empty stomach), and this city is well known for its culinary variety.
From the famous "Golden Mile" for incredible Indian cuisine to Italian feasts or even a Medieval Banquet, whatever type of food the lads want to indulge in, we can make sure it’s part of your package.
Food done, it’s time to move onto the drinking. Most groups like to find a traditional pub for a pint or two to start the evening, before exploring the nearby bars. You may start the evening with a quiet pint, but a few drinks in and you’ll be ordering shots as you smash your way through the city's bar circuit. Finally, after the bars comes a visit to one of the most popular nightclubs in Leicester. With guest list entry included in our packages, you can walk straight onto the dance floor and enjoy yourselves right through until the morning.
To put it bluntly, a Leicester stag do is an absolutely brilliant weekend away. It gives you the chance to truly embrace every part of this amazing city and enjoy every aspect of the celebration you’ve always wanted.
