1. Try a Tasting Experience
Here’s a great option for a corporate night out in London — a tasting team experience — always a popular choice. It’s easy-going, social and works well as a warm-up before dinner, part of an evening social, or even the main event if you’re looking for something fun but relaxed. There are plenty of ways to go with this one:
Travel through the world of beer with a guided tasting session. You’ll try a mix of styles, learn about the brewing process, and take on team challenges to test who’s got the best taste buds.
Taste your way through different gins, learn what makes them unique, and then have a go at mixing your own cocktails. A great blend of tasting, teamwork and a bit of friendly rivalry.
Learn how to pair wine and cheese in a relaxed session that feels more like a social than a workshop. Throw in some tasting games, and it’s an easy way to get everyone chatting.
The best part? These experiences can be brought to you — at any venue in London, even your office!
2. Get Hands-on with a Team Cooking Challenge
Finding something that suits everyone isn’t always easy — but cooking together tends to hit the mark. A hands-on kitchen challenges is great fun, no matter your team’s skill level. Whether you’re trying to beat the clock or show off your plating skills, it’s all about teamwork, creativity and a bit of friendly competition. Here are three great options for your corporate day out in London:
Just like the show, you’ll watch a pro chef demo a restaurant-style dish. Then it’s over to your team to recreate it under pressure. With mystery ingredients, shopping tokens and judges looking for top teamwork, it’s anyone’s game.
A fast-paced challenge where teams are handed a box of mystery ingredients and have to cook up something creative. You’ll swap between cooking and judging each other’s efforts, with expert tips thrown in along the way.
Go head-to-head cooking a full two or three-course meal for the other team. You’ll be judged on everything from the food to the table setting, timing and teamwork. It’s all the pressure of service, but with plenty of laughs and friendly rivalry.
These foodie experiences can be set up at any venue across London — or brought to your office with a fully mobile kitchen setup.
3. Slow it Down and Get Creative
Not every corporate day out in London has to be full-on. Sometimes the best moments happen when people slow down, get hands-on and make something together. Here are a few creative ideas to try — a great way to relax, chat and make something to take home at the end:
Teams complete mini-games to earn supplies, then work together to paint their part of a giant artwork. The final reveal shows how all the pieces fit together to make one big masterpiece!
Taste, temper and create your own chocolates with help from expert chocolatiers. You’ll design and box your own handmade treats — and yes, there’s plenty of sampling along the way!
Build your own miniature indoor garden in a glass jar. It’s hands-on, surprisingly relaxing and you get to take your little creation home with you.
All these activities can be set up at any venue across London, or brought to your office for something a bit different.
4. Get the Team Doing Something Green
If you’re looking for something a little more meaningful, an eco-friendly team activity is a great way to do some good while bringing everyone together. Here are some experiences that get people thinking about the environment while building something for the office or making something to take home:
A hands-on session where teams build bee hotels to help support pollinators. You’ll learn why they matter, earn your materials through mini challenges, and build your own design to take home or hang up in the office garden.
Work together to design and build your own indoor plant wall. You’ll start with some fun team challenges to earn your supplies, then get stuck in arranging the plants. We’ll install the finished wall for you, giving your office a fresh new look that’s good for wellbeing too.
Build and decorate a birdhouse to help protect local wildlife. You’ll learn a bit about bird habitats along the way, then take your finished birdhouse home or add it to a shared green space.
All these team building activities can be set up at your venue or brought to your office — a simple way to do some good together.
5. Make a Real Difference with a Charity Challenge
Want to bring your team together while doing something that really makes a difference? A charity challenge is a great way to give back to local London communities while building teamwork and having some fun along the way. Here’s what you could do:
Work in teams to build bikes for children who need them most. You’ll earn your bike parts by completing team challenges, then build and personalise the bikes before they’re delivered to charity.
Take on a series of mini-missions to earn a budget, then pack essential care packages. These packages are donated to charities supporting people facing homelessness and hardship right here in London, making a real difference in your local community.
Head out into the streets of London with a list, a map and a budget. Teams race to collect as many essential items as they can for a chosen London charity, using their people skills to grab the best deals along the way.
All of these charity activities can be brought to your chosen location anywhere in London.
6. Explore London with a Team Treasure Hunt
There’s no better playground for a treasure hunt than London. From famous landmarks to hidden backstreets, a team treasure hunt in London will turn the city into your game board. Armed with a live GPS map (on a tablet), you’ll race the clock (and each other) to complete as many challenges as you can. Expect plenty of laughs, problem-solving and a few surprises along the way. Here are three ways to play:
Explore the city using a live GPS map on your tablet, racing between checkpoints to solve clues, take photos and complete tasks. Keep an eye on the leaderboard as you go — it’s anyone’s game until the very end.
This version adds a twist — you’ll need to stay hidden! Rival teams can snap your photo to steal points, so you’ll need to outsmart, distract and dodge them while completing your own challenges around London.
Jump into iconic London black cabs with a real cabbie behind the wheel. You’ll zip through the city solving clues and completing tasks while seeing the best of London’s sights!
All treasure hunts can start and finish at your chosen London location, making it easy to fit around your plans for the day.
7. Step into the Spotlight with a Game Show Challenge
Step into the spotlight with game show-style team activities that will bring all the energy of TV favourites to life. Perfect for any group size, these corporate days out in London can take place at your chosen venue, and we’ll help you find the ideal space to suit the experience you pick. Here are a few events to choose from:
This challenge sees teams racing to complete tasks while secret traitors work quietly to bring them down. Trust no one if you want to win.
Think flashing lights, dramatic music and a giant game zone filled with physical and mental tasks. Just like the show where one wrong move costs you a life, teams compete head-to-head to keep their score alive and climb the leaderboard.
Inspired by the iconic business show where only one team avoids hearing the dreaded “You’re fired!”, this event puts your group to the test with sales pitches, creative challenges and team tasks. It’s light-hearted, full of surprises and ends with a tense boardroom-style showdown to decide who comes out on top.
All of these game show challenges can be brought to your chosen venue in London — and we’re happy to help you pick the best space to fit your team and your day.
8. Get Outdoor with Classic Country Sports
If your team is ready for some fresh air and light competition, why not head outdoors for a day of country sports? We’ll help you find the best outdoor venue in London to bring the countryside to you — or take your team just outside the city to a convenient venue that feels miles away from the hustle and bustle. Here are a few activities your team could try:
Grab a traditional longbow and see who’s got the best aim. You’ll compete as a team to hit the targets and rack up points — it’s all about focus, steady hands and a bit of friendly rivalry.
