Top 5 Activities in Brighton

-

1) Bubble Football: Bubble Football is a hilarious and chaotic twist on the beautiful game, strap yourselves into your giant inflatable bubble football suits and step onto the pitch, then barge, bounce and bump your way through a thrilling five-a-side match.

2) Shock Football: The nations sole provider of the hilarious game Shock Football! What better way to punish a diving player then to shock them? Electric Shock Football lets you be in control of the game with actual diving guaranteed! Players will be challenged to stay on their feet or put a belter in the back of the net when getting shocked in the process.

3) Bow Archery Combat: Bow Archery Combat is a new and exciting game in town which is simply epic. It offers the fun of paintball but less mess and less bruising. The two teams are separated by a neutral zone which neither team can enter except to retrieve their arrows. The game is simple, whilst hiding behind obstacles you get to shoot at and wipe out your opposing team. We should point out you will be using special arrows with soft tips so you won’t actually leave any marks.

We all know how gents in particular like to cause their friend a little embarrassment on their stag do. The tradition started many moons ago with poor gents being left vulnerable and handcuffed to their local lamp-post. Things are now progressing. 

5) Go Karting: Rev up the excitement with a classic stag do activity: go karting! This high-octane adventure takes place on either an indoor or outdoor track, where you'll be outfitted in safety gear before jumping into a speedy go-kart to race around the circuit.

Brighton Beach: Sun, Sand, and Shenanigans

Brighton Beach is basically the city’s crown jewel! Picture this: fantastic pubs and bars lining the shore, all staying open well past midnight. It's the perfect spot to drink while pretending to be classy (or just pretending you’re not about to trip over a beach ball). And don’t miss out on Pryzm nightclub, conveniently located near the Grand Hotel. It’s the ideal place to dance off those beachside pints—if you can find your way there after a few drinks!

Western Road: Eat, Drink, Party, Repeat

Western Road is a bustling thoroughfare that runs across the northern side of the city. Here, you’ll find a wide range of fabulous places to eat, drink, dance, and party. Whether you’re in the mood for a fancy cocktail or a good old-fashioned pint, this road has it all. Just be prepared for a wild night—your feet will be sore, but your heart will be full (and possibly a little fuzzy).

Pool Valley: The Party Hub

Right by the entrance to Brighton Pier lies Pool Valley, a maze of streets packed with nightclubs and bars. This is where you’ll want to be if you’re looking to drink, dance, and party until the early hours. It’s the kind of place where you might lose a mate or two (don’t worry, they’ll turn up… eventually).

10 Best "Stitch Up the Stag" Ideas

Let's Go!!

Stag do pranks can be a blast when done with the right balance of mischief and respect. Here are ten hilarious pranks that will add a memorable touch to the groom's last hurrah without crossing the line:

 

 

  1. Busk for Your Beer

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Before the stag do, find a busy street corner or a popular area where people gather. Make sure it’s a safe place and has enough foot traffic.
  • Gather Materials: Bring along a hat or a cup for collecting "tips," and if possible, get a small instrument like a ukulele or even a karaoke mic to amplify the fun.
  • Execution: Grab the groom's essentials like his wallet, phone, and hotel keys, and then set him up at the chosen spot. You might want to give him a bit of encouragement to really play up the busking role. While he's performing, keep an eye out for his reactions and ensure he's comfortable (and having fun) with the prank.
  • Observations: Find a nearby pub or cafĂ© where you and the rest of the group can watch and cheer him on, making sure to support him as he "earns" his pint.

Tips:

  • Safety First: Make sure the location is safe and that he won’t be harassed or in a situation that could lead to trouble.
  • Encouragement: You can always step in with a few coins if needed to keep the mood light and fun.

 

  1. Stag napped

How to Execute:

  • Planning: Get a small bag packed for the groom with essentials like a phone charger, snacks, or anything else you think he might need. Coordinate with the bride-to-be if possible to know his whereabouts and schedule.
  • Execution: Dress up in dark clothing and balaclavas for the surprise. Approach him discreetly and use a blindfold to ensure he’s surprised but not scared. Transport him to a pre-planned location where you have a fun activity or the next part of the party set up.
  • Reveal: When he’s “rescued,” make sure to let him in on the joke and reveal the real plans for the evening.

Tips:

  • Keep It Light: Make sure the gag is non-threatening and that it’s clear to everyone involved that it’s all in good fun.
  • Safety: Avoid public spaces where passersby might get concerned or call the police. Keep the prank contained and controlled.

 

  1. Glow for It

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Buy UV glow paint that is safe for the skin and easy to wash off. Test it in advance to ensure it works well under UV lights.
  • Execution: When the groom is asleep, showering, or otherwise occupied, apply the glow paint in funny or embarrassing patterns (like writing messages or doodles) on his body.
  • Club Fun: When you hit the club with UV lighting, watch for his reaction as the glow paint becomes visible. Capture the moment with photos or videos for added hilarity.

Tips:

  • Test First: Test the glow paint on a small patch of skin or fabric first to ensure it doesn’t cause any irritation.
  • Clean-Up: Make sure the paint is easy to wash off and doesn’t stain. Have some wipes or a cleaning solution handy to help him clean up after the prank.

 

  1. Hi-vis, High-risk, High-reward

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Before the paintball session, acquire a high-visibility reflective jacket, trousers, and a hat in bright colors. These are typically available at safety equipment stores or online.
  • Execution: When everyone else is gearing up in tactical paintball outfits, help the groom get suited up in the high-vis gear. Make sure to choose a moment when the gear will be most visible, such as at the start of the game or during a break.
  • Fun Factor: Watch as the groom stands out on the battlefield, and see if he can still manage to get a few hits or points while dressed as a walking traffic cone. The contrast between his outfit and everyone else’s will add to the humor.

Tips:

  • Comfort: Ensure the high-vis gear is comfortable and doesn’t impede his ability to play.
  • Team Spirit: Encourage everyone to play along and cheer him on, making it part of the fun rather than a source of frustration.

 

  1. A Chilli Reception

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Purchase a bottle of extremely hot chili sauce. Make sure it’s something with a strong kick but is still safe to consume (no super-hot varieties that could cause harm).
  • Execution: When the groom is unsuspecting, secretly add a few drops of the chili sauce to his drink. It’s best to do this with a drink that masks the flavor, like a cocktail or a mixed drink.
  • Fun Factor: Capture his reaction as he takes a sip and starts to feel the heat. Have some milk or other soothing remedies ready to help him cool down.

Tips:

  • Safety First: Check for any allergies or medical conditions related to spicy foods beforehand.
  • Support: Be ready to help him cool down and ensure the prank doesn’t go too far.

 

  1. Fake Tan Surprise

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Before the trip, acquire some self-tanning lotion in a much darker shade than the groom’s natural skin tone. Switch it with his sunscreen or sun tan lotion when he’s not looking.
  • Execution: Let him apply the fake tan before a day out in the sun. Watch as the tan develops over time, resulting in a comically exaggerated skin tone.
  • Fun Factor: Enjoy the laughs as his tan becomes more noticeable, and make sure to have fun with it rather than letting it become a source of embarrassment.

Tips:

  • Reversibility: Ensure the tan is temporary and can be removed or corrected with normal skin care products.
  • Support: Make sure he’s comfortable with the prank and that it doesn’t cause any real discomfort.

 

  1. Paperwork Panic

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Create some convincing fake visa or travel documents for everyone in the group except the groom. The documents should look official but be clearly fake upon closer inspection.
  • Execution: When you’re on the way to the airport or travel checkpoint, present the fake documents to everyone except the groom. Watch as he gets increasingly anxious while thinking he’s forgotten or messed up his paperwork.
  • Reveal: After a bit of suspense, reveal the prank before it causes too much stress or anxiety.

Tips:

  • Timing: Ensure the prank is done at a point where it won’t impact travel plans or cause real stress.
  • Clarity: Make sure to reveal the prank before the situation escalates, and have everyone ready to reassure him it was all in good fun.

 

  1. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Purchase some hair removal cream or wax suitable for use on skin. Make sure it’s a product that is gentle and won’t cause irritation.
  • Execution: Plan to perform this prank well in advance of the wedding—ideally, six months or more. When the groom is asleep, carefully apply the hair removal cream to a small area (e.g., a section of his chest, his beard, or even an eyebrow). Be discreet and gentle to avoid waking him or causing discomfort.
  • Fun Factor: The next morning, enjoy his reaction when he discovers the unexpected hair removal. It’s best to ensure the prank is revealed with a good laugh and in a way that allows for easy correction.

Tips:

  • Test Product: Test the cream or wax on a small area of skin before applying it to ensure there’s no adverse reaction.
  • Reversibility: Make sure any removal can be easily corrected, and have some soothing skin care products ready.

 

  1. Tattoo Trauma

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Design a custom fake tattoo that is humorous or embarrassing but not offensive. You can purchase temporary tattoo paper online or from craft stores.
  • Execution: After a heavy night of partying, when the groom is passed out, apply the fake tattoo to a visible area (e.g., arm, leg, or cheek). Ensure the tattoo adheres well and that it’s placed where it will be seen easily the next morning.
  • Fun Factor: The shock of seeing an unexpected tattoo will provide plenty of laughs. Make sure the tattoo is easily removable and that it’s done in good spirits.

Tips:

  • Test First: Apply a small test tattoo on yourself or another volunteer to ensure it comes off easily.
  • Keep it Light: Avoid tattoos that could be offensive or deeply personal.

 

  1. The Lamppost

How to Execute:

  • Preparation: Gather materials like clingfilm or tape, and possibly some funny or attention-grabbing clothing or accessories (e.g., a silly hat or a costume).
  • Execution: At the end of the night, when the groom is in good spirits and perhaps a bit inebriated, gently and carefully wrap him to a lamppost in a public area. Make sure it’s a location that’s busy but not overly disruptive.
  • Fun Factor: The public display and the surprise of being stuck to a lamppost will definitely get some laughs. Be sure to monitor the situation and help him get free once the prank has run its course.

Tips:

  • Safety First: Ensure the prank doesn’t endanger the groom or others, and that it’s done in a safe location. Always have a plan for quickly helping him if needed.
  • Public Sensitivity: Choose a spot where the prank won’t cause too much disturbance or trouble for passersby.

 

General Tips for All Pranks:

  • Consent and Comfort: Make sure all pranks are carried out with the groom’s comfort in mind, and avoid pranks that could lead to serious embarrassment or distress.
  • Safety and Respect: Always prioritize safety and respect. Avoid pranks that could potentially cause harm or significant trouble.
  • Document the Fun: Capture the moments with photos or videos (with the groom’s permission) to have memories of the fun without causing lasting issues.

These pranks are designed to be fun and memorable while ensuring that everyone, especially the groom, has a great time. Enjoy the laughs and make sure to keep the atmosphere light and entertaining!
