Stag or hen party near Brussels: why Archery Tag is the perfect activity

Organising a friend's stag or hen party is a well-known puzzle: you need an activity that pleases the sporty and the not-so-sporty, creates memories (and photos), does not ruin anyone, and leaves the group in shape for the rest of the day. Archery Tag ticks every box.

The scenario every stag party asks for again: the king hunt

At Archery Tag, the "protect the king" scenario feels invented for stag parties: the groom or bride-to-be becomes the king their team must protect, while the other team showers them with rubber-tipped arrows. Even more popular: the king drop, where the hero of the day faces everyone at once armed with a chest protector and their dignity. Guaranteed laughter, zero after-effects: the arrows do not hurt (proof here).

Why it works for mixed groups

No pain, no stains: unlike paintball, nobody backs out "because it hurts". Everyone plays, from the ultra-sporty best man to the cousin who never runs.
Everyone is dangerous from round one: 10 minutes of shooting initiation is enough. Light builds are actually the hardest to hit.
The setting: 5 hectares of private forest, 20 minutes from Brussels. Your group photos will not look like a warehouse.

The typical run of a stag/hen party with us

2 pm: arrival at the free car park in Bierges (carpool from Brussels: 20 minutes via the E411).
2:15 pm: briefing and initiation, overalls, protectors and masks handed out.
2:30-4:30 pm: hostilities: elimination, capture the flag, king hunt, final battle royale. Our instructors chain the scenarios at the group's pace.
4:30-5:30 pm: barbecue (ALL-IN package): three meats, tables at the forest edge, debrief of the battle royale betrayals.

How much per person?

BASIC package at €35 (2 hours of play, all gear and instructors included) or ALL-IN at €60 with the barbecue hour. From 10 participants, discounted rates from 15. The organiser locks the slot online with a €100 deposit, and everyone pays their share on site: no fronting €600 while waiting for your friends' transfers. Details on the prices page.

What about stag parties that want paintball?

Our site also runs 4 paintball fields: the pick of 100% thrill-seeking groups (PRO package, 500 paintballs). The combo of both activities on the same slot works for large groups: archery for everyone, paintball for the warriors, barbecue for the reconciliation.

The best stag party takes 5 minutes to organise

Online booking, instant confirmation, 7 days a week. The rest (the groom's ridiculous outfit) is your department.

Frequently asked questions from organisers

Can the groom play in costume?

Yes, as long as the full-face mask stays on during play. The tutu over the overalls is a field classic, and it makes the king hunt even easier to follow.

Can we bring alcohol?

After the game only: no archery after drinks, safety first. During the ALL-IN barbecue your drinks are welcome, in moderation for the rest of your programme.

What if we are an odd number?

No problem: our instructors balance the teams every round, and scenarios like battle royale or the king hunt play perfectly with odd numbers.

Does the activity suit a hen party?

Absolutely: about a third of our stag/hen groups are hen parties. No pain, no flying mud, gorgeous forest photos: Archery Tag regularly beats paintball with female or mixed groups.
