Low cost ideas for fun activities - weekend away in a big house

18 of us are having a weekend away in a huge house to celebrate weddings divorces, big birthdays...

All women, age range is 38-50. It'll be boozy!

The house is in the countryside so ot much going on around. Some of those going are permanently, some have more disposable income but we'd like to keep it low cost so as not to financially stress those with less ££

What would you plan? I've only done weekends away in cities - bars and restaurants then back to the shared house - with much lower numbers of friends!

Think 16 Yr old sleepover so everyone brings magazines and nailvarnish/facepacks

Treasure hunt, everyone brings one wrapped thing on a theme eg one bar of soap/one chocolate bar/one bottle of Rose.
One person hides all the stuff, then everyone finds it all and chooses one prize to take home/drink there and then.

Drinking games eg bring a dice, every time u roll a 6 u drink/watch a film and agree a word, every time an actor says it you drink

Take a map and go for a walk together in the day/stargazing at night.

Adult colouring in/crafty stuff.

If you're into gamey stuff I'd get the Taskmaster book, a murder mystery pack and a few escape room games (a few copies of the same one) and split into teams to solve.

Karaoke

Truth or Dare

Do a big dinner, like a banquet with everyone breaking into teams to cover a different aspect (various food teams, decoration team, cocktails team etc).

Get out for a walk during the day.

Balloon games, you pair up and one in pair has a balloon tied around their leg with string, the other has to pop it by chasing their partner and stepping on it. Can also be done in bigger groups.

I'd have a proper dinner party too, where everyone must bring one activity. Eg they can read a poem/sing/bring and play an instrument/prepare a game. That works well as with 18 of u it'll fill at least one evening. Makes it a bit formal but works well if u all are good friends.

I think there's a website where u can pay for and download local treasure hunts too, can't remember the name of it sorry
