Small Event Ideas

[eve1974]

So - in preparation for an interview - I'm thinking of ideas in which we could help bring revenue into a small private estate (there area dozen "spare" bedrooms that could be used if needed).

I have some ideas but a few more would be welcome please:

Mine so far are:
weddings / civil partnership ceremony / Engagements (subject to correct licences)
Classy (!!!) Hen do's (perhaps with a private beautician etc hired)
Clay pigeon shooting (for a stag do perhaps) or team building
Residential cooking classes
Dragon boat (there's a large lake) / Chinese new year
Foraging courses
Intimate dinners for wedding proposal etc

ANY other ideas?

Interview is tomorrow (short notice) so Im trying to swot up as much as poss. May be on here to ask for other questions later.

How about immersive language weekends, perhaps with linked cuisine and cultural activities?

e.g. a French weekend could be led by a native-speaking lecturer in the language giving talks on French culture and with a house rule that only French is to be spoken throughout the weekend. The catering could be entirely based around French cuisine, with some of the evening time being dedicated to watching French comedy movies or learning to dance the bourrée together.

Loads of great ideas here!

Top (target Michelin-starred) restaurant with accommodation. People will travel for a good meal, but don't want to drive home afterwards.
