Activity Based Stag and Hen Parties

If you are planning a stag do in Belfast, start the day with an activity before heading into the Cathedral Quarter for the evening.

A typical plan would consist of meeting in the city centre before heading to your Bubble Football booking. Afterwards going for some food before a bar crawl around Cathedral Quarter. This gives the group something to bond over before the night out and it also avoids awkward early drinking when not everyone knows each other yet.
