Oxford is more than the home of the world's oldest English-speaking institution of learning. It is also the home of the some of the wildest stag parties recognised to man. With a population of only 150,000, and a condensed cities commercial district simply rammed with pubs, Oxford promises good times for stag weekenders.
During the daytime, while the less fortuitous fellows are in class, you will be out having fun. The countryside of Oxford is full of adventure. Paintballing is one of the favorite activities in this part of the country, or try your hand at clay shooting or archery.
If you're into motorised fun, there is grass kart racing, Ford Escort rally driving, indoor and outdoor go karting, or hovercrafting. Jump aboard a quad bicycle racing, or better yet, give the blindfold 4x4 driving a try. For the less adventurous, there is a day's treasure hunt, or a day at the races.
What is there to do in the evening, you may ask. Well, Oxford has a pub scene like no other. An abundance of co-eds, masses of pubs, and all within walking distance (no need to worry about who's driving). Or, select to take a punt and do your pub crawl on the river. The comedy scene in Oxford is legendary, so after a couple of drinks, hit the club for a couple of laughs. For you, a stag party in Oxford may mean putting a couple of quid down on the greyhounds. You genuinely will not be able to get everything done in one weekend.
Because Oxford attracts students from all over the world, the restaurants are as assorted as you would find in London: Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Spanish, or Indian - it is all here. Make sure you get your fill before you head out for the earnest partying.
The highlight of an Oxford stag party will no doubt be the night-life. Along the river lies a parade of pubs. Stumble from pub to pub, taking every one in, and appreciate the lifestyle that's Oxford.
A stag party in Oxford isn't unlike that in London or any other big English town. There is good food, masses of activities, and masses of brew to go around. What Oxford brings to the table, though, is the young, scholastic companionship that makes Oxford so exceedingly different and desirable.
