Team building is the catalyst to a healthy working environment. Choosing an activity that suits your work force can be a difficult task with lots to consider.

So here are some top team building days out:

Murder mystery team building

This team building exercise is a great way to enjoy an ice breaker evening out, get to know colleagues and a fantastic way of building team spirit.

With the assistance of actors and props, you will dress up and carry out an investigation to uncover the mysterious murder of your boss.

You will take on the roles of detectives and suspects, while you uncover the mystery over dinner and wine. This ice breaker activity is one of the most entertaining and successful team building exercises available. 

 
Team building treasure hunt

A themed treasure hunt is one of the most popular team building activities for groups of all sizes. A treasure hunt consists of all the team building qualities needed for an entertaining, yet productive, day out. This activity is a great incentive for staff, as prizes can be set up to encourage team camaraderie and entertainment.

With themes including ‘Secret agent/Matrix’, ‘Pirate Ship’, ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘Winning Prince Charming’. All themes are unique and interesting and involve different methods of completing the tasks ahead. An extremely entertaining activity, a treasure hunt forms strong team bonds in a very short time.

 
Medieval Banquet

A medieval banquet is an ideal corporate team building activity to thoroughly enjoy the company of your fellow colleagues, while you indulge in an evening of unusual and lively corporate entertainment and medieval merriment.

Get into character with authentic costumes and allow yourselves to be entertained by minstrels and jesters. As you feast on a five course medieval dinner you will be served by costumed maids and servants. This team building activity is an unforgettable way of forging bonds and enlivening team spirit.

 
Sailing team building exercise

This team building exercise is extremely versatile and will invigorate, refresh and connect your staff like no other activity. You can race each other, learn sailing methods or just relax on a boat as you all take to the sea in a beautiful vessel. All options guarantee a successful team building day out.  Communicating and working together is all part of a sailing exercise and this should build confidence among individuals, while entertaining and strengthening the team as a whole.

 
Orienteering

This exciting outdoor activity improves communication and encourages strong leadership. You are equipped with a compass, map and your wits, which will help you and your team hit specific check points and reach the finish line. This outdoor corporate event is a superb way to step out of the workplace and enjoy a constructive day out in the sun.
