THE DOG & BALLER

From €275 per person

The Dog & Baller stag weekend is built for groups who want two full nights in Galway with space to themselves, proper activities, and big craic from start to finish. You’ll stay in self-catering apartments for two nights, with accommodation tailored to the season - private rooms per person in summer (student accommodation), and great-value shared apartments in winter, all in city centre or nearby locations.

Friday night kicks off at the greyhound track, Saturday delivers the chaos with Bubble Soccer, followed by a 2 course meal and shots in a late bar. It’s social, high-energy and perfectly paced across the weekend, with plenty of freedom for the group to enjoy Galway at its best.

This is a full stag weekend that gives you flexibility, space and a strong activity line-up — all organised in advance so the organiser doesn’t have to lift a finger.

Similar package available in Kilkenny and Waterford.
