Easy-Going Adventures for Real Mates’ Time

Planning a stag can be a lot – juggling dates, budgets, different ages and energy levels. Our stag parties are perfect for groups who want relaxed, outdoor fun rather than a full-on “all-nighter” venue.

We’re based in a beautiful New Forest nature reserve. That means peaceful surroundings, wildlife and big skies – but also that you’ll be sharing the space with other groups and families at times. It’s a friendly, laid-back environment where everyone’s welcome.

We don’t organise food directly, but we can time your activities so you can enjoy a local cafĂ© or pub, or put you in touch with a fantastic local caterer who can take care of everything and deliver to site.

We don’t have accommodation on site, but we’re happy to point you towards great local options – from campsites and cosy cottages to hotels throughout the New Forest.

Tell us your dates, rough numbers and the vibe you’re after and we’ll suggest options that make the planning simple.

Got dates in mind?

Our stag sessions fill up fast, especially spring and summer weekends. Share your preferred dates and we’ll quickly check availability and send you the best options.

Stag Party FAQs

The questions stag groups ask most often when planning a visit.


How do we book a stag activity or package?

For groups of 8 or more, use the Plan your adventure enquiry form and we’ll send you tailored options. If you’re a smaller group, you can often use our live calendar to book online, or drop us an enquiry and we’ll point you in the right direction.

What group sizes can you take?

Most private stag sessions work best for 8–20 people. For larger groups, we can split you into smaller teams and run rotations or combine activities to keep everyone involved.

Are your stag activities full-on or more relaxed?

Our stag parties are designed to be relaxed, outdoor experiences – great for mixed ages and abilities. There’s plenty of fun and friendly competition, but we’re not a late-night party venue. If you’re after fresh air, laughs and time together, you’ll be in the right place.

Do we need any experience or to be really fit?

No. All activities are suitable for beginners and mixed-ability groups. Our instructors will explain everything, and we’ll adjust the session so everyone can join in and feel comfortable – including those who are a bit nervous or feeling delicate from the night before!

What should we wear?

Dress for the weather in comfortable outdoor clothing and closed-toe footwear. For water activities, bring a change of clothes and a towel. We provide buoyancy aids for river sessions.

Where do the activities take place?

We use several New Forest locations around Beaulieu and the Beaulieu River, all within a protected nature reserve. You’ll sometimes see other groups and families enjoying the area too. Some sessions involve a short drive between sites — full directions and meeting points are included in your confirmation email.

Do you offer food or drink options?

We don’t provide catering directly, but many groups combine their activity with a visit to local pubs or cafĂ©s. We can also put you in touch with a trusted local caterer who can look after everything for you, including delivering food to site. We’ll happily adjust your timings so it all fits together smoothly.

Do you have accommodation on site?

We don’t have accommodation ourselves, but there are campsites, self-catering houses and hotels all over the New Forest. We’re happy to point you in the right direction with suggestions that work well alongside your activities.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We run in most weather conditions and tailor the session to suit the day. If high winds, storms or other extreme conditions make it unsafe, we’ll contact you to offer alternative options or a new date.

"Excellent day"

Excellent day had by all and very good value for money. Thanks to everyone for a memorable stag do!

"Paddle to the pub"

Paddle-to-the pub on Saturday. About 16 people for a stag do. I was impressed and would recommend it again. Our instructor Steve was great, the right mix of relaxed and fun.

"Thanks again!"

We had a great time kayaking at Buckler’s Hard which I booked for a friend’s stag do. James was a brilliant instructor and we all had a lot of fun – especially the groom! I would highly recommend New Forest Activities. Thanks again.
