How to Plan an Unforgettable Outdoor Team Building Event
Planning an outdoor team building event is a breeze with GOTO Events. But here are some tips to help you make your next outdoor team building a success:
Select the best day and time
Whilst outdoor team building can be run at any time in the day, there are a few factors to consider. Inflatable events such as It’s A Knockout and Crystal Team Challenge are best displayed in the daytime when there’s plenty of light to see where you’re going. There are some events that are more suited towards the latter end of the day, such as Survival Island which includes a fire lighting challenge. Having completed thousands of team building events over the years, we always find that after a long day of presentations, teams are tired and ready to go home, so incorporating a day on its own for the team building activity is preferred.
Choose an event that everyone will enjoy
There is often the misconception that outdoor team building events are always physical activities. Whilst our physical activities such as School Sports Day and It’s a Knockout are extremely popular, we also offer more chilled events where teams can dip in and out of activities such as Quintessentially English. For a less physically demanding option, try the Crystal Team Challenge, where teams compete in both mental and physical challenges to win crystals. Our expert and experienced team will happily advise which events will work best for your group to ensure you get maximum participation and involvement.
Create intrigue
Generate excitement for the upcoming outdoor team building event by teasing it to your employees beforehand. Keep the details of the actual activity secret, adding an air of mystery. Consider dropping enticing hints or even offering a prize to pique their curiosity and spark engaging conversations among your team members.
Don’t plan teams in advance
Avoid forming teams simply from people who already know each other or regularly work together. Instead, blend individuals who don’t typically interact. Ultimately, all our activities are designed to create stronger bonds between people, whether they know each other or not.
Come prepared for the weather
UK weather can be unpredictable, so we recommend dressing for the forecast. Bring layers, suitable footwear and a raincoat for colder or wetter days, and sunscreen, a hat and comfortable clothing for hot weather. A little rain doesn’t usually stop the fun, but if very bad weather is expected, your event manager will check the forecast a few days before and discuss a contingency plan with you.
Team Building FAQs
Outdoor team building activities are professionally-hosted games for corporate groups that take place outside, such as Crystal Team Challenge, Soap Box Derby, GPS Treasure Hunt and It’s a Knockout. These activities give employees the opportunity to enjoy fresh air whilst building bonds with colleagues.
Outdoor team building events are the perfect option if you want to get out of the office with your team and have fun in fresh air, sunshine and a change of scenery. Outdoor activities often involve collaboration and problem-solving tasks that help teams communicate better. These challenges can also build valuable skills like critical thinking and planning that benefit your workplace. The GOTO Events team is here to help you professionally organise an unforgettable experience for your employees and we travel to your chosen outdoor venue with all the necessary equipment. If you don’t have a venue yet, don’t worry, we can help you find and book the ideal location.
No, you don’t need to have a venue before booking. If you do happen to have a location, we’ll organise your outdoor team building event there. If not, we’ll help you secure the best one with our free venue finding service.
The cost of an outdoor team building event depends on factors like group size, activity type and duration. We offer bespoke team building events tailored to your needs, so get in touch today and we’ll provide a quote in under 45 minutes!
The weather can be unpredictable, but a little rain does not have to stop play. Our events are designed to be fun and engaging in all conditions, so the weather often becomes a second thought once the activities begin.
We recommend dressing appropriately for the forecast and bringing suitable layers, such as a raincoat, an extra jumper and sturdy footwear. During warmer weather, we also advise bringing sunscreen, a hat and plenty of water. Ponchos can be added to your package so they are ready for your team on the day.
Your Event Manager will check the forecast in the days leading up to your event. If severe weather, extreme heat or other unsafe conditions are expected, we will contact you in advance to discuss the most suitable contingency plan. This may include adapting the activities, moving the event indoors or making alternative arrangements to ensure everyone remains safe.
Please wear closed-toe shoes for outdoor events, with trainers being the best option. If you are taking part in an inflatable activity, you will need to remove your shoes before entering.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. We recommend bringing layers, as well as a windproof or waterproof jacket if poor weather is forecast.
For warmer weather, please bring a hat, sunscreen and water to help you stay cool and hydrated.
The duration of our outdoor team building activities ranges from one hour to a full day. We can always adjust the timing to fit your schedule and specific needs.
We are highly flexible with group sizes; we can accommodate small teams of 2 to large groups of 1,000 +.
