Edinburgh Weather


Like much of the UK, if you are looking for your best chance of weather you are going to want to book between May and September. These warmer months are going to draw more of a crowd and so be prepared for busier streets. Most stag parties opt for Spring or early Summer months to host their stag party, but there is also something very magic about Edinburgh when Autumn Winter hits! Expect a golden city centre as the leaves begin to fall and an illuminated Royal Mile as the festive lights go up.

Hosting one of the biggest and best Christmas markets in the UK, if you decide a winter stag is for you, stopping by for a mulled wine and some incredible food is an essential part of your stag party!



Drinking games for your stag party

A stag groups staple, drinking games are the best way to ensure easy entertainment for the guys! Whether you need an ice breaker or deal maker, our experts have recommended their favourite classic game to ensure no silent moments during your stag saga!

  2. Arrogance

    A simple game to ensure drunken antics, all you need is a pint glass, a coin and a drink in hand. Simply take it in turns to flip a coin. Guess heads or tails. Win, you get to move the pint glass to the next person after adding a slosh of your own drink to the concoction. Fail and it will be your go to down the mixture.
    We can’t guarantee this will be the finest drink you taste during your visit!

  3. Send to All

    Not for the faint hearted, this game only has one rule. No phones allowed. Break that rule and you give up control of your phone. The remaining stags will get to send a text of their choice to anyone, and we mean anyone, in their contacts.
