Carrick-on-Shannon Stag Party FAQs

Can we customise our stag party package?

Absolutely! We’re here to help you build a tailor-made package that suits your group's interests and preferences. Just let us know what you're looking for, and we’ll make it happen.

Is Carrick-on-Shannon good for a 1-night stag party?

Yes — Carrick-on-Shannon works really well for a 1-night stag trip thanks to its compact layout, lively nightlife and range of group-friendly accommodation options.

When should I book our stag do?

We recommend booking at least 3 months in advance to secure your preferred activities and accommodation. If you’re planning your stag do during peak times or bank holiday weekends, it’s best to book even earlier.

What if my group size changes closer to the date?

It’s common for group sizes to drop by about 10% from the initial booking to the final count. The majority of packages won’t be affected by a small change in numbers. There are some exceptions to this such as self-catering accommdation and certain activities that require a minimum group size.

What if someone needs to cancel last minute?

We understand that plans can change. If someone needs to drop out close to the event date, we’ll do our best to adjust the booking. Depending on the package, some cancellation fees may apply, but we aim to be as flexible as possible.
