Other Stag Do Ideas in Cardiff

Much of Cardiff’s history and culture revolves around its sporting heritage, so why not incorporate this into your stag weekend? The Principality Stadium (formerly the Millennium Stadium) is one of the most impressive architectural icons in Wales and the central focus of Cardiff’s sporting scene. If your stag do falls at the right time, then you may be able to enjoy a match whilst you’re here. The Six Nations is the biggie of course, with the tournament taking place in February and March, and the atmosphere about as electric as it gets. It's a grand day out even if you're not rugby fans, but of course tickets are not easy to come by!

Or perhaps your group would prefer to be in the thick of the action themselves, not simply spectating. In which case, talk to us about some of our fantastic Cardiff stag experiences that involve you all getting active. There’s everything from Bubble Football and Quad Biking, to Paintball and Clay Pigeon Shooting.

Another of the best things to do on a Cardiff stag weekend is to take the 30-minute train to Barry Island, famous for its Gavin & Stacey connection, as well as the amusement park and funfair rides. Lush.
