Unusual Birmingham stag activities



Looking for something a little bit different for your Birmingham stag weekend? Whilst adventure sports always hold a dear place in many men’s hearts, why not get competitive both physically and mentally with our top 3 alternative Birmingham stag activities?

Espionage

Every man would like to think they’re as quick-thinking as Jack Bauer and Jason Bourne. With mobile technology at the ready, groups will be set a series of tasks and challenges to solve.  Break up the established groups and let them get to know how people tick. This activity gets those competitive juices flowing without the risk of heaving from too much physical activity! In fact, it’s one of the preferred Birmingham stag activities for those who don’t like to miss out on valuable drinking time! 

Raft building

Think castaway and men trying to prove their inner caveman with this exercise! Forget dodgy DIY jobs that you can hide –it’s a race against time to put together a raft quicker than the next group and see if it’ll sink or swim. Another mental and physical challenge – just don’t go colouring on a ball and calling him Wilson! 

Cops and robbers

Everyone likes a bit of nostalgia that’s been brought up to date for the 21-st century. Forget the cops and robbers you played as a child – with this activity, the robbers will be tasked with finding objects throughout the day whilst being hunted by the cops with the aid of GPS navigation. This game gets competitive! Another great Birmingham stag weekend activity that lets you explore the city and maybe spot bars you want to check out for later on for your stag night in Birmingham.

Wish you were an expert mixologist? Try a Birmingham cocktail masterclass


Most hens want value for money from their Birmingham hen do along with a lot of fun. If that’s what you’re after, then why not try cocktail making in Birmingham? Arguably one of our most popular activities with hens and it’s easy to see why. Let’s face it – everyone loves having a party trick up their sleeve to show off to friends and with this activity you’ll be able to offer friends something other than the vodka, lime and soda mixer usually on offer when they come to yours! Now that’s value for money! Chocolate mudslide or sex on the beach anyone?

In our experience, essential to good hen parties in Birmingham is ensuring that everyone has a great time and with a some people in the group complete strangers to each other, it’s always a good idea to get the alcohol flowing in the day to stop any awkward conversations! But you don’t just want to sit in a pub getting sloshed on tequila - our Birmingham cocktail masterclass will ensure that your hen party all gets involved in fun and games with drinks along the way.

With a cheeky shot on arrival, the bartender will then set about giving a demonstration of a couple of favourite cocktails from the menu which are passed around for all to sip. Then it’s down to the hens to try their attempts! Great for photo opportunities, everyone gives their best pose when it comes to shaking that cocktail and grinding those mojito leaves! Other great photo opportunities are there when the bartender shows you cool tricks – just don’t try these ones at home! And with platters of food thrown in, you don’t have to worry that people won’t be able to stand later for your Birmingham hen do evening edition!

So if you’re struggling on what to do, cocktail making in Birmingham is a firm favourite for a reason.
