Friday: arrive and ease in

Get everyone there, settled and bonded — not destroyed. Check in, a relaxed group meal or first session, and some games to build the group. Don't blow the whole weekend on night one; everyone needs to function for the main event.

Saturday: the hero day

Late morning: the headline activity, done when the group is freshest. Afternoon: food and a deliberate rest. Evening: the meal, then the pub crawl, then the main venue. Saturday builds to the big night — so it's the most planned part of the weekend.

Sunday: recover and depart

A fry-up, a gentle final activity or hair-of-the-dog, and a calm, well-timed departure with a buffer for trains and flights. Don't schedule ambition for Sunday — its job is to end warmly and get everyone home in one piece.

Frequently asked

What should a 3-day stag do itinerary include?

Arrivals and a gentle Friday, a Saturday built around one hero activity by day and the big night by dark, and a soft, recovering Sunday — with slack between items so a hungover group can keep up.

How do I share the itinerary with the group?

Build it in the free itinerary planner and export clean, emoji-coded text straight to the WhatsApp group, so everyone has the plan in their pocket.

How much should I plan vs leave loose?

Anchor the fixed points — travel, the activity, the table booking, the crawl start — and leave the gaps flexible. A rigid, back-to-back plan breaks the moment the group runs late.

Stop reading — start planning.
