What are people looking for in a Stag Weekend In Swansea?

I was just looking on Google to see what search terms people were typing in when looking for “stag weekend wales” and was interested to see the list of related search that I might be interested in.

Quad Biking Wales
Yes, Quad Biking is one of the favourite activities that stag and hen groups want to participate in when they come on a Call of the Wild weekend. We can offer stag weekend parties 3 to 4 hour sessions on our all terrain quad bikes, driving through the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Clay Pigeon Shooting Swansea
Clay Pigeon Shooting is another activity that is popular with stag and hen groups and one which we excel in. Why not try out a number of different clay pigeon methods and games such as Skeet and down the line. All activities take place on our farm on the edge of the Brecon Beacons.

Swansea Nightlife
Swansea is, without doubt, the nightlife capital of Wales. Situated right in the heart of Swansea Bay Swansea has everything a good stag weekend needs: great pubs/bars, great clubs, excellent food, two great locations and even casinos. Swansea also has the UK’s most exciting marina development, SA1, with its own bars and restaurants nestling in site of the old Swansea docks.

Mumbles Mile
The Mumbles Mile is a famous haunt, situated just outside the city centre and once popular with Swansea’s most famous son, Dylan Thomas. The Mumbles Mile is made up of a large number of bars and pubs along the seafront on the tip of Swansea Bay. Why not sample the wide variety of pubs along the way, so you can proudly say to people that you have ‘Done the Mumbles Mile’.

Catherine Zeta Jones Swansea
Yes, Catherine Zeta Jones is actually a Swansea girl – you can take the girl out of Swansea but … She started her acting career in Swansea and played the city’s Grand Theatre, where she was spotted by Mickey Dolenz and here went on to achieve fame. You can even visit the luxury house she bought for her parents near the Mumbles.

Hen nights Swansea
We have so much experience organising hen nights and hen party weekends. Most of our hens will spend Saturday either being pampered or out in the country jumping into water or zipping around on quad bikes. Hen nights are, more often than not, spent in Swansea experiencing the fun of Wales’ top nightlife attractions.

Outdoor Team Building & Stag Weekends


Why are stag weekend organisers afraid to own up to what they are looking to book? I don't know what it is but over the last few weeks people have contacted us and start describing their requirements as outdoor team building events. However as you start to question them in more detail about the nature of the group certain facts come out which clearly highlight it is a stag weekend they are looking to book not an outdoor team building event. Simple things like the fact that it is an all male group, evening entertainment is high on the agenda, it's a weekend booking and fancy dress is dropped into conversation are all give aways.



When you then confront them and say outright that it's a stag weekend they're looking to book they explain that at first they were to afraid to mention this in case they get turned away. This is the experience of many groups these days. This is especially the case in many of the stag weekend hotspot locations such as Blackpool, Dublin and so. An increasing number of accommodation owners are not accepting stag weekends or all male groups.
