Torquay is known as the "English Riviera," mostly due to its perfect combination of British seaside atmosphere and mild climate. It is a very appealing UK destination – particularly for stag parties looking for a coastal escape without the flight costs.
You might not imagine that it’s a high-octane destination based on the town’s reputation, but you could not be more wrong. A Torquay stag do is one of those trips that ends up being legendary. Something about the welcoming atmosphere, the sea air, and the lack of pretension makes this destination perfect for a weekend that feels free, spontaneous, and absolutely full of life.
To make planning your weekend as simple as possible, we have created stag packages that combine the best elements of the town into one easy booking.
Our packages group your accommodation, activities, and nightlife together. Whether you want a competitive weekend with go-karting and footdarts, or a relaxed pub crawl by the sea, we can tailor a package to suit your group's budget and style. This is the smartest way to book, ensuring you get the best rates for your group.
The accommodation options in Torquay are great, providing choice whatever your requirements are. We work with a lot of traditional seaside hotels and guest houses that are well-versed in hosting stag groups.
Don’t worry—while Torquay is infamous for housing the hotel that inspired the comedy classic Fawlty Towers, we won’t book you in with an owner as crazy as Basil Fawlty, we promise! Instead, we’ll make sure that whether you are staying in a hotel or B&B, you are located exactly where you want to be—close to the harbour and the nightlife. After all, for a Torquay stag weekend, your accommodation is more than just a bed to sleep on; it’s your base camp for the chaos ahead.
So once you’ve arrived and dumped your bags, what is there to do? The good news is that there are loads of popular activities to take advantage of in this beautiful seaside town.
Go Karting is a superb activity that gives you the excitement of a classic race. The tracks nearby are excellent, allowing you to compete to see who is the fastest and who drives like a Sunday learner.
For something a bit different, Footdarts is a great new activity that allows you to compete against your mates at a mixed-up sport. It involves punting a Velcro football at a giant inflatable dartboard to score points. If you haven’t tried to score a "bully" with a left-footed volley, what have you been doing with your life?
Maybe you fancy an activity that tests your mental aptitude rather than your physical prowess? If that’s the case, then why not try an Escape Room? This is a great group activity as it forces you all to work together (or argue endlessly) to solve puzzles and escape before the time runs out.
Of course, traditional stag staples like Paintball and Clay Pigeon Shooting are also readily available in the surrounding Devon countryside.
So that’s the daytime activities taken care of – but what about the night out? While you may have an automatic impression of Torquay being a sleepy seaside town, that’s not really the case. In fact, a Torquay stag night will surprise you with the number of nightlife options available.
Before heading out to drink your body weight in beer, it’s probably a good idea to grab some food first. Torquay has a great selection of restaurants, from curry houses to burger joints, that can cater to large groups.
The vast majority of the good places to drink are on the coastline around the harbour. This means you can pick and choose from a wide selection of pubs and bars, hopping from venue to venue while enjoying the sea views.
You might imagine that a town the size of Torquay was lacking in Nightclubs, but the good news is that there are multiple options for you to choose from! Once you’ve finished touring the pubs, you can end the night in one of several clubs that stay open until the early hours.
Torquay is easily accessible by road and rail. If you are driving, the M5 takes you most of the way before you drop down into Devon. By train, there are direct services from London Paddington and Birmingham New Street, making it surprisingly easy to get to for a weekend away.
And there you have it. That’s just some of the reasons why a Torquay stag do is one of the best options you can consider. Get in touch and let us know exactly what you want, and we’ll create a personalised quote that will give you an absolutely perfect weekend away without breaking the bank.
