somerset challenge hen weekend activity
If you and the girls are looking for something a little bit different for the hen party, this fun filled day is a perfect option! You’ll be taking part in a selection of fantastic Somerset challenges. This fantastic and innovative idea is brand new and can only be done in the West Country itself. You'll take part in 10 fantastic challenges to see who of the girls is a successful country bumpkin or a failed farmer! After your packed activities, relax and enjoy a picnic lunch and some good old local cider.
format
Arrive and meet with your instructor for your safety briefing, then the games will begin. The games you will take part in are -
The Cider Run - Tied to a bungee you will run along the inflatable cider run to place a plastic cider glass as far along the runway as possible, before the bungee rope pulls you backwards!
Pitch Fork Duel - Battle against fellow hens with inflatable pitchforks with the aim to topple your opponent from their podium!
Wurzel Knockout - Using a catapult, you'll be required to fire water bombs towards the "Wurzel dummies" at four different distances away. Mannequins will be dressed to look like The Wurzels. Ready, aim, fire!
Tractor Tyre Rolling - You and the girls will be faced with 4 tractor tyres of increasing sizes with the aim to roll each tyre over itself to the finish line.
Crazy Combines - Climb into your giant inflatable hamster ball to steer your way through an obstacle course in a race against your opponent.
Vicky Pollard Handbags - Two of the hen group will be pinned against each other with the aim to hit your opponent with a handbag while wearing big inflatable costumes!
Welly Wanging - Each of you hens will take it in turn to throw a wellington boot into the series of targets!
Drunk Pub Skittles - Time to try your luck at the alley! Take to the wooden alley and eye up the target of wooden skittles - sounds easy when you're not dizzy drunk, but try spinning around a pole first!
Farmer's Shower - This one is of course optional - The hen will be placed in the 'Tractor Seat of Truth' and will be asked a selection of questions thought up by the hen group on the day. The end result is up to you ... does the dirty ditch water in the bucket above descend or is the hen safe?
Mangold Dangling - Was the last game daft enough for you? Well you haven't seen anything until you've played mangold dangling. Bar skittles with humans on cider kegs!
A point scoring system will be used for each game. Scores will be added together, with the winning player given a prize at the end of the activities.
After the winner is announced, relax with the girls and enjoy a delicious sitdown picnic consisting of award winning west country pasties, crackers, cheese, chutneys, apples and the likes, and to wash that down some locally produced award winning scrumpy cider. Ooh arr!
