15 Events That You Can Host at Your Bed and Breakfast

Organizing an event is a great way to make sure your property stands out — and boost your profits! You can hold events inside your property, within your grounds, or branch out and offer a tour of the local area. Your options depend on the type of property you run and what’s available in your local area. So, let’s see what events you can use to delight your guests! Here are 15 ideas to inspire you.

Why not help your locals and guests find love with a speed dating evening?

Everyone’s a suspect! Turn an evening of fine dining into guests playing detective and searching for clues to track down the murderer before it’s too late.

Why not help local musicians, singers and bands showcase their talent at your property? Don’t overdo it though — one night a week is plenty.

Make your guests cry with laughter by hosting an evening of comedic entertainment.

A festive craft-making event could be the perfect one for your property. Do you see your guests lapping up the opportunity to make a Christmas keepsake to take home, or cards to send to their loved ones? Then this is for you.

Do you have spooky happenings in your property? Why not whip out the Ouija boards and scare up a good time for your guests?

Are you a dab hand with a sewing machine? Can you make clay pottery? Whatever your talent, why not teach it to your guests? Or hire a professional to offer a course at your property.

Get groups together to show off their general knowledge with a quiz night.

Show off your expert knowledge about your local area by offering a guided tour of the nearby attractions. You could even go the extra mile and make packed lunches for the day too!

If you live in a fossil hunting hotspot, teach your guests how to find their own ammonite or dinosaur tooth to take home with them. Or, if you’re near a beach, take them metal detecting and see what you uncover.

If you’re not a natural groover, you could hire a local professional to come and teach your guests to rumba, waltz or jive.

Gather local wine aficionados to learn, taste and get merry.

We know that so many of you make your own preserves. Why not share your talent with guests?

A scavenger hunt could be a great way for your guests to explore and get to know the local area!

Get those sausages sizzling on a hot day to pull in the guests.

These are only suggestions and you may come up with your own events that suit your clientele and property even better. To find out more about what you need to do put on an event at your bed and breakfast, read our guide.
