Top 10 Stag Do Activities in Chester

1) Bubble Football

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.

2) Bar Crawls

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.

3) Nude Life Drawing

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.

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. You won’t be firing paintballs at each other; you’ll be firing arrows! Yep, that’s right. 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.

6) Female Strippers

If you want to get up to some mischief on your stag, you can't go wrong with watching a sexy stripper. There's something about seeing another person undress for you that’ll make you feel like you’re getting away with something naughty! With a sexy lapdance from one of the gorgeous girls, you'll be able to indulge in eye candy as much as your heart desires. You can head to one of the strip clubs in the city centre or even hire a stripper to come to your home or hired venue and entertain you. Whatever you choose, these ladies never disappoint!

8) School Sports Day

Are you ready to go back to the old school? Break the ice with a warm up before you’re split into teams to compete against each other in fantastically retro events. You’ll need to be fast, steady and work as a team if you want to win! Take part in a selection of hilarious races such as sack, three-legged, egg and spoon, relay and Space Hopper races.
