Top 10 Stag Do Activities in Glasgow

1) Whisky Tasting

The whisky in Scotland is legendary. It’s a passion so you can’t just try it, you have to immerse yourself in it and we want to help you do just that. Get the lads together for a whisky tasting, led by a whisky expert who’ll teach you all about how whisky is made and what goes into making it so delicious. Try samples and pick your favourite, or find out which one surprises you the most! So much work goes into making a single drop of this fine spirit and it’s time for you to celebrate that hard work with as many samples as possible!

2) Bubble Football

Are you ready for the most fun-filled, hilarious football experience ever? Bubble football sees you clamber into giant, inflatable zorbs that encase your entire upper body. Each player is equipped with their own personal bubble and must use their body to tackle the other players. This means that as well as trying to score goals and defend them, you also have to fight your way through a sea of inflatable beach balls. You'll be bumping and barging into each other and laughing the whole time, especially when one of you gets stuck on your back like a tortoise!

3) Paintballing

Let loose in the great outdoors with an energetic and adrenaline-pumping paintball game. You’ll be kitted out with safety gear and paintball guns before being split into teams to go head to head. If you're feeling sneaky, you can try hiding behind obstacles until someone approaches so that you can ambush them with a few quick shots at close range. Or, if you prefer to take the high road (or low road!), you can stalk your prey from behind cover just waiting for them to make a mistake so that you can surprise attack them from behind! Whatever tactics you use, you’re going to have a blast!

4) Bar Crawls

Forget navigating a city alone and getting lost or spending loads of time researching the best place to go come nightfall and wondering if they even let stag groups in. Eliminate all of the stress with a bar crawl where a friendly, fun and knowledgeable guide willl show you the best watering holes in town. You can choose between an exclusive crawl for your group or can join fellow party-goers on a public crawl that includes drinking games and a range of other antics. Some crawls include free drinks, shots and drink deals for a surprisingly wallet-friendly night out. What a result!

5) Nude Life Drawing

Forget any preconceived ideas about art classes being stuffy. This isn’t your grandma's art class; this is nude life drawing with a gorgeous female model! The model will de-robe and pose for you, totally naked. With the help of an art teacher, you'll learn how to draw everything from her face down to her toes, from her sexy smile to her shapely hips. She’ll show off all of her best assets for your personal viewing pleasure as you get to work sketching her. If you’re feeling brave, you can even ask her to judge who created the best drawing at the end of the class!

6) Escape Rooms

You’re locked in a room and the only way to escape is to solve puzzles, crack codes, and hunt for clues to get out of the room in just one hour. Do you have what it takes to be a detective or will you be stuck in the room forever? Ok, so you’ll eventually be let out but it’s more fun to think of it like that as you race against the clock! There are loads of escape game themes from horror to humour, burglar to detective. Whatever type of adventure you're looking for, we've got it here!

7) Battlezone Archery

Try a hilarious twist on paintballing that sees you armed with bows and arrows instead of paintball guns. Yep, you read that right; you’re going to fire arrows at your mates! Battlezone archery uses special arrows with rounded rubber tips so no one will get too hurt. But don’t worry, they still pack a satisfying punch when you fire them! An event coordinator will split you into teams to compete, firing arrows at each other and ducking from incoming fire. If you’re hit, you’re out. If you can catch an incoming arrow, you’ll win one of your players back.

8) Footgolf

Footgolf is a lot like regular golf, except you use your foot instead of a golf club and kick footballs into specially adapted goals. Forget the tackling, this is all about aim and precision if you want to get a hole in one. Your event coordinator will take you around the green and explain the rules of footgolf to you, as well as making sure you have all the equipment you need for your game. They’ll set you challenges to see who can get closest to the pin and perform the best drive (kick) and will even dish out funny forfeits for the losers.

9) Footdarts

Another footie activity that always brings the fun and banter to a stag do is footdarts. This does exactly what it says on the tin, combining football and darts. You’ll kick a special football at a giant, velcro dartboard to gain as many points as possible. Get ready to laugh as you take part in a range of wacky challenges that’ll really put your ball skills to the test. Spin around and around before kicking the ball at the target with Dizzy Bully and avoid getting balls kicked at your during Dodge Bully! Do you have what it takes to be crowned footdart champion?

10) Dodgeball

Watch the 2004 comedy movie to get in the spirit for this hilarious activity and learn the five Ds of dodgeball - dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge! Don’t worry if you haven’t played dodgeball since school because the rules are super simple. You’ll be split into teams to throw balls at each other to eliminate players. If you hit someone, they’re out. If they catch your ball, you’re out and they win back one of their eliminated players. You’ll be given coloured bibs and headbands to make you look the part as you unleash the big kid within!
