It's quite common that the stag doesn't pay for his place on a stag do. Let's face it, he will be dishing out the dosh for you guys to eat and drink at the wedding very soon. Freedom will pay for your groom if you have 15 or more stags.
The average cost of a UK stag weekend is £175, and £200 for a stag abroad (minus flights). But with stag activities starting from less than £30, Freedom can accommodate any budget you have. Time is money and we’ve already done the legwork so you don’t have to.
It’s the job of the best man to plan a memorable and epic stag party for the groom and his best mates. The pressure is on, sorting the whole thing, organising and chasing the groom’s mates for money and hours of planning time. Take the easy option when deciding who should organise a stag? the Freedom masterplan cuts out the stress and aggro. You tell us what you want, we sort everything, the guys pay us direct with no chasing for you, then you take all the credit.
Most stag groups average between 12 and 16 guys. Any groups over 10 commonly face problems booking with suppliers. But no dramas, Freedom has been arranging stag dos since 1996 with the largest stag group of 54 party goers. With our experience in your hands and our black book of contacts, you’ll have no problem sorting the stag weekend.
Availability reduces and prices go up with late notice stag weekends. So the top tip to get your preferred accommodation and activity times - *is to book early*. This is easy with just a £35 deposit and your best guess numbers (actual group size is not needed usually until 6 weeks before). The guys pay us, so no chasing for you and you can be confident of the final numbers with less flaky friends dropping outs.
Yes consult with the groom about his invite list, date and anything definitely off the agenda. But other than this you can surprise him with a full range of activities.
No fixed rule on inviting parents to the stag do, we often find the groom and bride’s dads going on the stag do. With age comes experience, life stories and banter about the son-in-law-to-be. If you don’t think they can keep up the pace and last the course, then they can always come to part of the event and retire before you paint the town red. Freedom stag attendees come in all ages and we only charge for the activities they attend.
Freedom have over 100 large luxury stag party houses in the UK. This number is growing all the time, and becoming increasingly popular for the discerning stag group. Find your perfect UK stag party house with games room, pools, hot tubs, local pub and amazing facilities.
Very easy to organise our stag do with minimal fuss, the boat cruise and bierkeller that was sorted for us were spot on, left to our own devices and got absolutely smashed!!! Would definitely recommend, and will be using again. Big thanks to Karen and James.

Very happy with the stag event, even though half of our party dropped out last minute. The event organisers changed the way they ran our event to accommodate.

It was a great venue and the whole process of booking it was really straightforward. The stag was really impressed with the place and said the whole weekend was exactly what he wanted so mission accomplished as far as we're concerned!

Couldn't be happier with Freedom. Trying to arrange a Stag Party for 19 could have been a nightmare but it was all made so easy for me through Freedom. Every Event was exactly as advertised. All staff were extremely helpful. The experience we had for the price we paid was amazing. Hotel was spot on, (although lacked Parking). Laura in Customer Relations was brilliant and sorted everything out quickly and kept in contact throughout. Would give more stars if I could.

We arranged to stay at a cottage for 16 in Chepstow for a stag weekend through Freedom Weekends. The team were very communicative throughout the whole process and really gave me confidence when booking. Everyone being able to pay their share through the online portal was very convenient. The accommodation was perfect for what we wanted and we had a great weekend. Thanks to Laura for all her help arranging our visit.

So , you can only imagine how stressful booking a stag with 30 blokes was going to be. I found Freedom and thought the process I dealt with Laura Shilton and a couple others. I can not recommend Laura enough as she literally took all the stress off me. Would definitely use you guys again . Too quality service and always there if you keep them. Thank you for making my life stress free haha. Stay safe x

Just off the back end of a stag that I booked with freedom events and what a blast it was! Very professional company, service was brilliant and the team is easy to communicate with. Activities we booked were all fantastic especially the boys toys! Hotel was fabulous and worth every penny. Would definitely recommend to any one planning a stag or any type of event like this. :) very happy customer.
