Frequently asked questions
How much should a stag weekend in Aberdeen cost?+
Most groups land between £225 and £350pp for 2 nights including hotel, two activities and a nightclub table. That's roughly 30–40% less than the equivalent Edinburgh weekend.
How big a group can you handle?+
Anything from 6 to 60. We've block-booked entire boutique hotels and run multi-tee golf days for company stags of 40+.
Is Aberdeen good for nightlife?+
Yes — Belmont Street alone has 20+ bars, plus Atik nightclub, the Tippling House for late cocktails and BrewDog's flagship. Compact centre means no taxis between venues.
What about quieter activity-led stags?+
Whisky tasting, clay pigeons at Newmachar, surf lessons at Aberdeen Beach and dolphin-spotting at Torry Battery all work brilliantly as alcohol-light alternatives.
