Planning: sorted. How to plan an amazing stag or hen party in Llandudno.
Llandudno might be famous for its sweeping Victorian promenade and Great Orme views, but beneath its charming seaside exterior lies a town with serious party potential. Whether you’re planning a sophisticated send-off or a weekend of competitive chaos, Llandudno delivers a mix of adventure, nightlife, and memorable experiences — all without the hassle of a big city.
It’s walkable, packed with unique venues, surrounded by stunning scenery for daytime activities, and has enough late-night options to keep your group dancing until the small hours.
Before you start booking, get your guest list and dates confirmed. Llandudno is a popular spot for weekend breaks, so hotels and activity venues can fill up quickly — especially in summer and around big events like the Victorian Extravaganza or bank holidays.
A stag or hen do needs a centrepiece activity — something everyone will remember, something that gets people laughing and bonding. In Llandudno, you’re spoiled for choice:
The ultimate mix of competitive fun and chilled drinks. At Johnny Throws, you can unleash your inner Viking with augmented axe throwing, go head-to-head in interactive digital darts, and refuel with Johnny Doughs artisan pizza and a bar stocked with canned beers, cocktails, wines, and ciders. It’s perfect for mixed groups, and you can book lanes exclusively for your party.
Why it works: Combines adrenaline with comfort, fun with food, and works equally well for 6 people or 60.
From Great Orme Copper Mine tours to the Llandudno Cable Car and the Marine Drive open-top bus, the Orme is a scenic playground. Start the day with some fresh air and breathtaking views before the evening chaos.
If your group loves live music, tribute acts, and a lively bar atmosphere, the Motorsport Lounge is a strong choice. It’s a flexible event space that often hosts comedy nights, concerts, and private hire events — ideal for groups that want to party together without strangers.
No stag or hen party survives on drinks alone. In Llandudno you can go from classic pub grub to high-end dining without leaving town.
Johnny Doughs for artisan pizzas (also served at Johnny Throws)
The Cottage Loaf for a cosy pub meal
Osborne House for a dressed-up dinner with sea views
Pro tip: If you’re booking multiple venues, let them know you’re a stag/hen group in advance — some have group deals or special menus.
Llandudno has a more laid-back nightlife than big UK cities, but it’s still full of gems:
The Gresham for cocktails
The Kings Head for traditional pub vibes
Motorsport Lounge (again) if you want to base the whole night in one venue
Look for hotels or guesthouses that are central, so walking between activities is easy. Popular options:
The Empire Hotel – smart, central, with a pool for the morning after
Travelodge Llandudno – budget-friendly and close to everything
Group-friendly Airbnbs – especially handy if you want to self-cater breakfast and late-night snacks
A top stag and hen party will have moments that feel tailored to the couple. Ideas include:
Custom T-shirts or sashes
A surprise quiz about the bride/groom during pizza and drinks at Johnny Throws
A personalised trophy for the axe throwing or darts champion
Remember: not everyone will want a full day of drinking, and not everyone will want just sightseeing. Mix active, competitive, and social elements so there’s something for everyone.
Day:
Morning: Cable Car to Great Orme Summit + group photos
Afternoon: Johnny Throws – axe throwing, darts, pizza and drinks

Book early for summer weekends
