Reading has maintained a steady presence over the years as a popular stag do destination – and there are a number of reasons for this. Located between Bristol, London, and Oxford, it is perfectly placed for anyone in the south of the country so that it is far enough away from wherever you live (allowing you to really let your hair down), while simultaneously being close enough that it doesn’t take hours to get to.
It is also a university town, which means that the nightlife available is of a significantly higher quality. They are used to battling each other to become the most appealing to students, so they absolutely love it when stag groups come to town.
Accommodation options for your Reading Stag Do are plentiful. With many of the hotels, B&Bs, and guest houses available being centrally located, it means that no matter what type of accommodation you are looking for, you won’t find yourselves stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Whether you are looking for the cheapest possible option to crash in after a night out, or whether you want to lounge around in a life of luxury between activities, we can arrange it. We recommend City Centre Hotels for convenience or Self-Catering Apartments if you want a communal space to enjoy a beer before heading out.
You won’t run out of things to do in Reading during the day either – we've got forty-five plus activities that are all well recommended.
The most popular options are those which are a little out of the ordinary. For example, you can book a session of Hovercraft Driving, which is something you are unlikely to have tried before. Wakeboarding is another popular option, giving you the chance to try being dragged behind a powerful boat.
Other popular activities include some more traditional options. You might want to hunt the stag in a high-energy game of Paintball or compete to see who is the best shot at Clay Pigeon Shooting.
If you fancy something that tests your brain as well as your physical attributes, why not try visiting an Escape Room? There will need to be co-operation, logical thinking, and the occasional bit of physical prowess to try and escape!
Nights out on a Reading Stag Do are as exciting as you can imagine. As a university town, Reading is well stocked with pubs that allow you to relax, bars that provide every drink you can imagine, and clubs that play every type of music you could possibly want.
Once you’ve eaten, it’s time to paint the town red. Luckily, Reading makes it easy for you to do this, with a large number of the pubs and bars being located very close to each other, particularly around Friar Street.
After you’ve been to enough pubs and bars to fill your boots, you’ll want to move on. For some groups, the next spot is a Gentlemen’s Club, where you can continue drinking while enjoying a view. For others, it’s a trip to the Casino where you can play some cards and see if you can win back some money for the rest of the weekend.
