Why I’d keep the stag in the UK
- Nobody misses the flight. Trains and minibuses are a lot more forgiving than a 6am departure gate.
- It’s easier on the wallet. No flights means more budget for the activity and the bar. See our guide to cheap stag weekends.
- Everyone can come. The lad who can’t take the Friday off can still join you for Saturday.
- The activities are right there. Most UK cities have paintball, go karting and clay pigeon shooting a short drive away.
