Adventure Stag Do’s and Outdoor Hen Activities in Ireland

Adventure Starts Here

Hen Parties and Stag Dos That Don't Involve a Pub

Three hours in the forest. Ziplines through the canopy. High ropes, cargo nets, wobbly bridges, and that moment when someone in the group absolutely refuses to let go of the platform (they always do eventually).

It’s active, it’s outdoors, and it’s the kind of thing people actually remember. The photos alone are worth it.

We’ve hosted hundreds of hen and stag groups. The format works: daytime activity at ZipIt, then on to wherever you’re going for the evening. You’ll have earned the drinks.

What the Day Looks Like

Arrival and safety briefing (30 minutes) Everyone gets fitted with a harness and learns how the safety systems work. No experience necessary.

Circuits (2 to 2.5 hours) Work through the course at your own pace. The colour-coded circuits progress from green at just 1 metre off the ground, through orange and white, up to blue and red which take you to 20 metres in the canopy. Nobody has to do anything they’re not comfortable with.

After (as long as you like) There are some picnic benches on site to sit together once you’re done. Take photos, take a breather, then head off to wherever the evening takes you.

Which Location Works Best?

Dublin (Tibradden Wood): Thirty minutes from the city centre. Best for Dublin-based groups or anyone planning a night out in town afterwards. Close to Dundrum, Sandyford, and the M50.

Cork (Farran Park): Twenty minutes from Cork City. Ideal for groups heading into Cork for the evening. Lakeside forest setting, 45 hectares of woodland.

Wicklow (Djouce Park): The scenic option. Deep in the Wicklow Mountains, 45 minutes from Dublin. Combine with lunch at Powerscourt or Enniskerry. Works well for groups who want a proper day out before the night begins.

Roscommon (Lough Key Forest Park): Located in the Hidden Heartlands. The only option west of the Shannon. Perfect for groups in Galway, Sligo, or anywhere in Connacht. Make a full day of it; the forest park itself is worth exploring.

Group Sizes and Pricing

No minimum group size applies, and we can accommodate groups of 50+ by splitting across circuits and staggering start times.

Common Questions

Can we dress up?

You’re welcome to dress up, but do keep practicality in mind. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, with closed-toe shoes that have good grip. Sandals and Crocs are not suitable. Bear in mind that costumes need to allow a harness to be fitted safely and comfortably over them.

Is it suitable for all fitness levels?

Yes. The green circuit starts at just 1 metre off the ground and is manageable for most people regardless of fitness level. As you progress through orange, white, blue, and red, the circuits become more physically demanding, requiring increasing levels of balance, confidence, and upper body strength. There is no obligation to go beyond what you’re comfortable with.

Can we bring alcohol?

Alcohol is not permitted before or during the activity. We recommend saving the celebrations for after you leave the park.

What if someone is afraid of heights?

Start on the green circuit. It’s one metre off the ground. Most people surprise themselves. But there’s no pressure; anyone can stop at any point.

Where can we go afterwards?

Depends on the location. We can suggest pubs and restaurants nearby if you need ideas. Just ask when you book.

What should we wear?

Comfortable clothes that can get dirty. Trainers or hiking boots. No flip-flops, heels, or open-toed shoes. Bring a jacket if rain is forecast.

How far in advance should we book?

Two weeks is ideal for weekend bookings. Weekdays are usually easier to get at shorter notice.

A Sample Hen Day

12:30pm to 3:00pm – Circuits. Some push themselves all the way to the red circuit. Others take their time and enjoy the view. Everyone ends up on the ziplines eventually.

3:00pm – Finished. Sit together at the picnic benches, take the group photo, and start planning where the evening begins.
