Why host corporate summer events?
Benefits of Summer Team Building Events
Here are 8 key benefits of team building events in the summer and why companies keep hosting them.
1. A chance to be outside
Make the most of the warmer summer days by bringing your team together in the open air. With a wider choice of activities and fewer space restrictions, summer is the perfect season for lively, engaging events that offer a refreshing change of scenery and a welcome break from the usual working environment.
2. More ways to bring teams together
Summer brings a wider choice of team activities, making it easier to create a unique event. From energetic challenges to festival-style experiences, you can build a day that offers something for everyone and keeps the whole team involved from start to finish.
3. Mid-year reset
A summer event creates a natural pause in the working year, giving teams time away from their usual routines to reconnect, strengthen relationships and return feeling refreshed.
4. More venue options
Summer opens up a much wider choice of venues, from beaches and botanical gardens to rooftop bars and open-air spaces that are far less practical during the winter months.
5. Perfect for away days
Our fully hosted activities can slot seamlessly into your summer away day, whether you need a few hours of team building, a full-day programme or activities spread across a multi-day event. We can tailor the experience to match the energy and pace you want, while our complimentary venue-finding service helps you choose the right setting, including venues with overnight accommodation.
6. Longer days, more time together
With longer daylight hours, summer gives you more time to make the most of your event without the day feeling rushed. Activities can flow naturally into relaxed socialising and evening entertainment, creating a fuller experience that continues well into the summer evening.
5. Fully mobile
GOTO Events delivers fully hosted team building experiences across the UK throughout the summer, giving you the freedom to choose a location that works perfectly for your team.
8. Hassle-free planning
GOTO Events expertly handles every aspect of your event from planning to execution, allowing you to enjoy the event with your team without stress.

How to Plan the Perfect Corporate Summer Event
Planning a summer team building event with GOTO Events is simple, but here are some expert tips to help you make your next summer team building event a success:
Choose the right date
Summer is a great time to get out of the office and unwind, but it’s also a time of year when many people go on holiday. Choose a day when as many people as possible can attend. Some of our events are best experienced at specific times of the day, but we will let you know during the enquiry process. With thousands of team building events under our belt, we recommend dedicating a day to your summer event, to ensure teams are energised and able to enjoy it properly.
Pick an event your team will enjoy
The key to ensuring your corporate summer event is successful is to consider which kinds of events your employees might enjoy. If your employees have varied interests, it might be beneficial to offer several activities to choose from, such as a Terrarium Workshop for the creative souls and It’s a Knockout for the adrenaline lovers. Of course, if you’d prefer an event that brings everyone together, our Company Fun Days offer something for absolutely everyone!
Consider everyone’s needs
Make sure your summer event is accessible and enjoyable for the whole team. Consider different fitness levels, mobility requirements, dietary needs and whether anyone may prefer a less physically demanding role. Providing shaded areas, regular breaks and plenty of water can also help everyone stay comfortable during warmer weather. Our team can recommend suitable activities and adaptations to ensure everyone feels included.
Mix up the teams
GOTO’s events are designed to allow people to get to know each other better, particularly when it comes to cross-department events. It can be tempting to place close colleagues on the same team, but actually it can be very beneficial (and fun!) to assign teams at random and let new friendships form.
Prepare for the weather
Summer is the perfect time for an outdoor event, but we recommend dressing for the forecast, as the British weather can be unpredictable. Bring layers, suitable footwear and a raincoat for colder or wetter days, and sunscreen, a hat and comfortable clothing for hot weather. Some rain can make the event more fun, but your event manager will monitor the forecast and contact you to discuss your contingency plan if very bad weather is expected.
Summer Team Building FAQs
Summer team building events are the perfect opportunity to celebrate successes and make your team feel appreciated. They can be something employees look forward to and give them a sense of belonging within the company, as well as strengthen bonds and improve communication day-to-day. Moreover, they give your team a chance to enjoy some sun and fresh air, and have some fun at the annual summer party!
No, you do not need to have a venue confirmed before booking. If you already have a location in mind, we can deliver your corporate summer event there. If not, our free venue-finding service can help you find a suitable option based on your location, group size and requirements.
The cost of a summer team building event depends on factors such as your group size, chosen activity, location and event duration. Every event is tailored to your requirements, so contact our team for personalised recommendations and a quote within 45 minutes during business hours.
Most GOTO Events activities last between one and three hours. You can also combine several activities to create a half-day or full-day event. Our team will tailor the schedule around your timings, objectives and chosen activities.
Our summer team building events are suitable for a wide range of group sizes, from small teams of two to large company events with more than 1,000 participants. Capacity varies between activities, so our team will recommend the most suitable options for your group.
