Highland Games Frankfurt
Stone put, log slalom, tug of war and farmer's walk: at the Highland Games your workforce turns into competing clans. We bring everything and set up wherever you want to celebrate, on your company grounds, at a conference hotel or at your venue.
What are Highland Games?
Experience the atmosphere of the Scottish Highlands! Divided into clans with impressive names and equipped with matching colors and banners, teams compete in traditional Scottish competitions. Measure yourself in disciplines like stone put, log slalom, tug of war, or farmer's walk – show what you're made of and prove true team spirit. With Scottish background music and clan standards, we create an atmosphere that will be remembered for a long time.
For Frankfurt this means: you choose the place, we bring the rest. A level lawn is enough; we take care of stations, equipment, clan colours, banners and the Scottish music.
How the Highland Games work
- 1Welcome & briefing
Our guide welcomes the clans, explains the disciplines and safety.
- 2Clan split
Every clan gets a name, colours and a banner – and raises its battle cry.
- 3The games
Stone put, caber slalom, tug of war, farmer's walk: station by station the clans collect points.
- 4Award ceremony
The best clan is crowned, with bagpipes and applause for everyone.
Takes place all year round with suitable clothing; rain ponchos or sun cream are included.
Where do the Highland Games take place in Frankfurt?
On private grounds. Public parks are ruled out because competitions such as stone put are practically never permitted there. These three options have proven themselves:
Whether a meadow behind the office or a lawn at the plant: on your own grounds you save travel and rent, and the celebration can start right after the competition.
If you are meeting off-site anyway, the hotel lawn is an obvious choice. Programme in the conference room in the morning, clans on the lawn in the afternoon.
Have an event venue, club grounds or a farm in mind? We will come. If you are still looking, we support you with the search.
Level, lawn or meadow, enough room for the stations and all participants, plus vehicle access nearby for the equipment. We agree everything else with you beforehand.
