Ideas for a stag do in nature
Outdoor activities
The best thing about organising this type of celebration in a rural house is that the environment is usually perfect for activities like BTT rides, hiking or, the most adventurous can also opt for extreme sports like climbing, rafting, canyoning, etc.
Play like kids
It’s also the perfect place to have fun like when you were children. For example, if the house is equipped with a basketball court or football pitch, there’s nothing better than putting on your sports shoes and going out to win the match. You can also organise a paintball or airsoft game in which two teams will compete in true military style in the trenches. However, the guns contain either air bullets or paint bullets, very fun!
Themed dinner
A stag do without a bit of a splurge, is not a stag do! So after a full day of activities, it’s best to start preparing a dinner with music, drinks and good humour! For example, you can organise a party themed around zombie movies or opt for a superhero evening, it can be hilarious! However, don’t forget to take into account all the details, as for the result to be great, it’s important that the clothes and decoration are appropriate.
Liven up the party with games and challenges
To encourage people, during the dinner it’s important that you come up with some challenge or competition to break the ice. Taking advantage that you are in a rural environment, a very good idea is to organise a treasure hunt with clues spread inside and outside the house. It can also be fun to play traditional games like ‘films’, ‘handkerchief’ or ‘high stink’. Another option is to pretend that the neighbours have called the police because you’re making a lot of noise and that, suddenly, a very sexy law officer comes to the door ready to punish you as you deserve…
