When you first sit down to plan your next corporate event, there’s every chance that the question running through your mind will be,

‘How do we balance team-building and engagement with a sense of fun?’

Catering for each element might be fairly straightforward but bringing them together in a single, effective package is another altogether.

You might be aiming your fun day event at employees or families – or at both. Whatever your goals, you’ll want to provide a day that’s the ideal mix of constructive engagement and collaborative enjoyment.

Whether your event takes place in a local park, at your workplace, or you’ve lined up an away day somewhere else, we’ve got an exciting array of ideas to make your event unforgettable.

What are outdoor corporate events?

Outdoor corporate events are events that bring people together in a relaxed, open setting. You might design them just for employees, or you might make it a family event.

Holding events in the great outdoors opens up so many original and engaging opportunities. From team-building to corporate fun day activities, these events are just what you need to encourage new connections and lift morale.

Locations for outdoor corporate events

At the workplace
If you have the space, holding your event on-site has the self-evident benefits of convenience and cost-effectiveness. Converting your car park into an exciting activity zone is a simple option.

Local parks and community spaces
These offer loads of space in a natural setting. They’re great for large groups of people and family-orientated activities.

Away days
Holding your event at a remote specialist venue will give everyone a proper break from familiar surroundings. Your event will seem more ‘special’. With a comprehensive array of activities, facilities and services, away days can be perfect for team-building and generating an atmosphere of togetherness.

Integrating indoor and outdoor activities

The one element of outdoor events that is beyond our control is, of course the weather. We can’t influence it but we can allow for it. Just because the main thrust of your corporate event or fun day is that it should take place in the open air, doesn’t mean that there can’t be indoor fun and entertainment too. Don’t worry we can face the outdoor challenges!

We’d be delighted to talk through with you our vast range of engaging indoor options – all appealing to people of all ages. These might include –

Metaverse Gaming

Discover the future with metaverse gaming. This immersive experience lets your guests take part in virtual reality activities and games. There are so many games to choose from and they’re just as great for tech-savvy teams and for people just looking for fun that’s a bit different.

Cash Grabbers

These always go down well with guests at corporate events and family days. Participants step inside a booth and try to catch as much ‘cash’ as they can within a set time. It’s an exciting challenge that will be a success with people of each and every age. Here’s an example of how this can work well with one of our giant snow globes.

Interactive workshops and more!

We also offer a wide range of other indoor activities such as interactive workshops, creative team-building exercises, and themed entertainment options. These will each, in their unique way, delight, entertain and educate anyone who’s prepared to have a go!
