50 Free Stag-Do Ideas
41. A Piss Up in a Brewery
Can you do better than Adam Buxton’s classic attempt below?

42. Fishing
Fishing makes a good stag sport. Not only is it an easy, pleasant activity that easily bookends a night on the sauce, but it’s the sort where quiet, simmering tensions move to the boil, reaching an awkward heat, before, wahay, someone gets pushed in a river or slapped by a trout.
43. Volunteer at a Race Track
Bit difficult this, as there’s a bit of a waiting list and it’s primarily given to people with a major interest in the sport, but the majority of race tracks UK wide need ushers and assistants to monitor both track and crowd over race weekends, and you get in for free and see behind the scenes a bit.
44. Volunteer at a Music Festival
Similarly, music festivals like Glasto, V, Reading and Download hire their ushers through Oxfam volunteers and a few other outlets. Work a few shifts throughout the weekend, and the rest of it is yours, as well as special camping with bleached toilets.
45. A visit to Groom’s Old University Town
OK, so another not quite free activity, but if on you’re big night, Newcastle, Liverpool et al don’t carry much appeal, head back to your university town to see if the student nightlife has caught up (it hasn’t.) Obviously, this is especially good fun if a load of you met at uni.
46. Volunteer for a (proper) Scheme
Well, if you’re willing to do a music festival or a race day, or your mate’s house, why not clear some woodland or assist the elderly or disabled. This sounds like we’re being ironic. We’re not, as really, think of all you can justify as ethical on your big night out after that sort of thing.
47. Attend a Retro Games Meeting
This is a more city-centred proposition, but all over the UK there are amateur old school electronic games societies, often taking over a pub or leisure centre for your fill of Tetris and Pong – you have no idea how competitive it will get.
48. Childhood Museum
On a similarly retrospective note, for big train sets and old mechanical doodahs, try any collection of childhood toys, such as London’s Museum of Childhood, which is completely hands on, free and usually bereft of children who often suspect it as being gay.
49. Picnic
Go on, say it, picnics are a bit girly. You’re right, but then we refuse to believe that anything that also contains Scotch Eggs can be completely rubbish.
50. Cosford Air Museum
Outside of Telford on the Shropshire plain, this large complex of aircraft past and present (not future, after all, it is free), presents prime fun for those into big engines, or those who want to lark in the cabin of a 747 and pretend you were off to Magaluf instead.
