Great Ideas for Your Outdoor Event

Coming up with a theme for your event isn’t always as easy as it sounds. You need something you’re sure will sell but that also hasn’t been overdone.

Luckily, we have compilled a list of ten themes for your outdoor event, broad enough to let your creativity shine through but that have been tried and tested and are most importantly, loved. 

6. Funfair/Carnival

We see them pop up on local commons throughout the year, on the bank holiday weekends or in half term but why not organise your own funfair or carnival. Go old school with a coconut shy, splat the rat or test your strength game, get local charities involved too. Add some background music, a haunted house and some rides and you’ve got a great family event. 

7. Easter Egg Hunt/Scavenger Hunt

Springtime is a great time to take advantage of the earlier event goers looking for something to do. The easter holidays are long so why not organise a giant easter egg hunt for the whole family. Scavenger hunts are also widely popular and are a great way to get people involved in a more interactive event.

8. Winter Wonderland

More and more popular, Winter Wonderland events are a great Christmas event that anyone can organise. A craft fair with fairy lights, mulled wine and Christmas music is a great place to start. You can add in a grotto or an appearance from Santa, showcase your local school choirs, dance schools and other organisations too. 

9. Light Shows

In the same vein, light shows have becoming increasingly more popular over the last couple of years. Hire in a company who can set up a light trail at your chosen venue, interactive light,Tn music displays and light tunnels which make great social media photos.

10. A Decade Festival

Just like the music genre festival, you can pick a decade and theme a whole event around it, speakeasy 20’s theme, or a disco 80’s theme. The possibilities are endless.
