Top 10 Stag Do Activities in Chester
It’s time for bubble trouble! Bubble football is an exciting and hilarious sport that combines the best of the beautiful game with zorbing. You'll play a five-a-side footie match but your body will be encased in a giant, inflatable, one-man zorb so that you can bump and barge each other out of the way to tackle. Give it some welly, lads! Have a right laugh as you run around the pitch, looking like giant beach balls! The zorbs really affect your balance and ball skills, making this activity a great skill leveller. You’ll be in hysterics from start to finish.
Explore this city at night in the most fun way with a bar crawl where you’ll be shown the hottest pubs, bars and clubs by a friendly guide. This is so much better than having to research all the best places, wondering if the bar you want to visit even let stag groups in. You might even end up walking in circles and missing out on some great spots. With pre-booked bar crawls, you don't have to worry about any of that nonsense because a knowledgeable and outgoing guide who knows this town inside and out will take you to the best places.
This cheeky activity is ideal for a stag do in Chester, injecting banter, blushing and eye candy as you learn how to draw a live, nude model. You don’t need any artistic skills to enjoy nude life drawing because a friendly, professional art teacher will help you capture the model in all her glory, while you get to ogle her beautiful naked body! The model will keep you entertained with lots of playful poses. All you need to do is draw everything you see in front of you…and we do mean everything, lads! Will you be able to capture the model’s true likeness?
Footdarts combines football, darts and other hilarious challenges that’ll have you all in stitches. You'll kick special footballs at a giant, velcro target to score points.

If you’re a fan of the beautiful game and the classic pub sport, you’ll love every minute of this brilliantly bonkers activity.
If you’re a wannabe Robin Hood or Hawkeye, you’ll love letting loose with a bow and arrow. Battlezone archery takes inspiration from paintball, archery and dodgeball for a wild and energetic experience you’ll never forget.

These special arrows have round, rubber tips but still pack a delicious punch when you hit one of your opponents. Duck behind obstacles and keep your wits about you because if an arrow hits you, you’re out. The only way to get back in the game is if one of your teammates catches an incoming arrow, dodgeball style.
