Stag and Hen Party Activities
Long gone are the days when hen and stag parties were spent lounging in a dark corner of a pub. These events have now expanded to include a host of fun and physical activities. Sligo town and county have a range of group activities that are perfect for hens or stags.
- Airsoft
Similar to paintball, airsoft uses plastic pellets rather than balls of paint. Airsoft breaks a group into teams that compete in various military-style simulations. This is a great, physically demanding activity for Stag and Hens.
- Surfing
Sligo is close to some world-class surfing destinations. If your group isn't scared of getting wet, book a surfing lesson with one of the many nearby surfing schools. We suggest shopping around as many schools offer significant group booking discounts.
- Funball
Are you looking to get silly? Funball involves playing football while each player is jammed inside a giant inflatable ball. As you might expect, chaos ensues—great competitive fun for the group that likes a laugh. Funball is usually played on AstroTurf pitches and lasts for about an hour.
Restaurants
As hinted at in the opening paragraph, Sligo is becoming a mecca for Noth-West foodies. The diversity of restaurants on offer means that you’ll find something suitable for your tastes no matter your preferences.
- Pub Grub
Sligo town has many pubs that offer extensive menus featuring all your pub favourites. From the old reliable fish and chips to more exotic Asian fusion dishes, establishments like The Belfry bar, The Venue Bar and The Stand offer delicious Pub Grub menus.
- Fine Dining
If you're in the market for a more formal dining experience, Sligo offers a range of sit down and white table cloth options. Eala Bhan offers beautiful fine dining with an eclectic menu that includes seafood and pasta dishes. Knox is also quickly gaining a reputation for both the quality of its service and the skill of its virtuosic chefs.
Night Out
- Pubs and Bars
No stag and hen party is complete without checking out the local nightlife. Sligo certainly doesn't disappoint in this department. The town has many bars, including the Blind Tiger, which serves a massive range of cocktails. For those looking to enjoy a sports game with their pint, the Belfry and the Garavogue offer large flat screens that show all major sporting events from GAA to the Premiership.
- Night Clubs
And finally, when it's time to throw some shapes, Sligo can offer some of the North West's best nightclubs. The Garavogue offers a nightclub experience that features quality DJs on the decks until late. For something a little more intimate, Lola Montez offers cocktails and an impressive whiskey menu. Lola Montez also often hosts national and international music acts, so check out their website for upcoming gigs.
