Big stag groups are great fun and hard work. In Dublin the main challenges are getting everyone around, getting everyone in and keeping the plan simple. Here is how to do it.

What works for big groups
🚌 One vehicle
Above 8 people, taxis split the group. A minibus, coach or party bus keeps everyone together.
🎯 Activities that scale
Laser tag, paintball, footgolf and the pub crawl take big groups at once.
🍽️ Book the dinner
Large tables need booking – and restaurants may add a service charge for groups.
🚪 Booked entry
Clubs do not always let big groups in together. A package with entry avoids splitting up at the door.
📱 One group chat
Share the plan, meeting points and times in advance – it saves a lot of shouting.
A big-group weekend
Friday
Arrive together
One transfer from the airport, dinner at a booked table and a guided pub crawl.
Saturday
Everyone in one game
Laser tag, paintball or footgolf, then the party bus and a club with a reserved area.
Sunday
Easy finish
A late breakfast and one transfer back to the airport.
Good to know
🚐 Licensed transport
Anyone carrying 9 or more passengers for payment needs a bus operator’s licence – book through a proper operator.
🪪 IDs for everyone
Bouncers check ID, and one missing passport can stop the whole group.
🎭 Costumes
Big groups in fancy dress are the most likely to be turned away – check first.
💶 Collect money early
Pay deposits for the group up front, so one person is not chasing 20 others.
📅 Book early
Group tables and activity slots go first, especially on summer weekends.

FAQ
Can you organise a Dublin stag do for 20 or more people?

How do we get a big group around Dublin?
A taxi takes up to 8 people, so bigger groups use a minibus, coach or party bus from a licensed operator.
Which activities work for big groups?
Laser tag (up to 32 players), paintball, footgolf (up to 30) and our private pub crawl (up to 30).
Will clubs let a big stag group in?
Not always on the door. Booking a package with entry or a reserved area is the safest way.
