Top 10 Stag Do Activities in Glasgow
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 an expert who’ll teach you all about how whisky is made and what goes into making it so delicious.

So much work goes into a single drop of this fine spirit, and it’s time for you to celebrate that hard work with as many samples as possible!
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 has their own bubble and must use their body to tackle the other players. As well as trying to score goals and defend them, you’ll 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 someone ends up stuck on their back like a tortoise!
Let loose in the great outdoors with an energetic, 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, hide behind obstacles until someone approaches so you can ambush them with a few quick shots at close range. Prefer to take the high road or low road? Stalk your prey from cover, waiting for them to make a mistake so you can strike. Whatever tactics you use, you’re going to have a blast!
Forget navigating a city alone, getting lost, or spending ages researching where to go at night.

Your event coordinator will guide you around the green, explain the rules, set challenges, and even dish out funny forfeits for the losers. Who will take the crown as footgolf champ?
Another footie activity that brings laughs and banter to any stag do is footdarts. Kick a special football at a giant velcro dartboard to score as many points as possible.
