1. CIDER RUN CHALLENGE: We'll start your Somerset games with an easy challenge. Simply place a glass of cider on one of three trays set up along the runway in front of you. Sounds easy doesn't it? … oh, and you'll be doing this while attached to a bungee cord! Sorry we can't make it too easy for you. It's a funny one to take part in and extremely funny to watch!

2. PITCH FORK DUEL: This is ‘Gladiators’, West Country style! You and your competitor will battle it out against one another using inflatable pitch folks to topple your opponent from their podium!

3. WURZEL KNOCKOUT: The Wurzels have had it coming for years - now's your chance to dish out some justice, You'll be armed to the teeth with cider apples and a huge catapult, which attaches to your feet! Take them Wurzels OUT! You may even see that pesky Black bird they keep singing about!

4. TRACTOR TYRE ROLL TRIUMPH: One for the competitive streak in you. You'll muck in with your team to lug a huge tyre from one end of the field to 'tother! The team will be required to roll each tyre over the finish line in the quickest time possible, there's points at stake!

5. VICKY POLLARD HANDBAGS: Yeah but No but Yeah! Get your Burberry handbags at the ready to wallop your opposing chavy mate while dressed in big comedy suits.

6. WELLY WANGING: The traditional village event. Each stag contestant takes it in turns to lob a welly boot into the series of targets!

7. DRUNK PUB SKITTLES: This is real West Country skittles, with a proper wooden alley and a set of proper wooden skittles ready to be decimated by your eager hand! Easy when you're not dizzy drunk like, but try spinning around a pole first!

8. FARMER SHOWER: This is the time to get your own back on the stag! Sat in the infamous "Tractor Seat of Truth", the stag will be asked a series of questions created by the rest of the lads! The end result is up to you ... does the dirty ditch water in the bucket above descend?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.
