5 Most original venues for team building exercises
1. SILVERSTONE
With its legendary race circuit, variety of impressive events spaces, state of the art equipment and bespoke team driving events Silverstone has to be one of the best corporate event venues in the UK. Challenge your staff to team up and try to match the legends who have taken to this historic track over the last 50 years by driving (or riding) in some of the world’s most famous and fastest cars. Boost your staff morale, create healthy inter-staff rivalries and give them an unforgettable day out that they’ll be talking about for years.
2. Zombie BOOTCAMP, Kidderminster
Zombies have taken over the world and only you and your staff can stop them! Train in teams with military specialists before plunging headlong into a full scale post-zombie apocalypse action scenario. Your staff will be fully protected behind helmets, body armour and protective leg guards as they work together to overcome the threat of hideous, blood thirsty monsters in a zombie infested research facility. Not for the faint of heart but the events team at Ram Training can cater for a variety of needs and after debriefing anyone who is still petrified can meet the zombies who have just scared them half to death.
3. ALTON TOWERS
Alton Towers is not just about kids, long queues and terrifying death drops; they also host some of the UK’s most interesting team building exercises. Energise and motivate your staff with one of Alton Towers Team Building Treasure Hunts. Teams navigate their way around the 500 acre grounds using GPS technology, completing tasks and challenges for a unique day out. Amazingly they can also cater for groups of up to 500 people!
4. National Media Museum
The National Media Museum in Bradford is a fantastic place to take employees to bond and mix up their working environment. Have your staff plan, shoot and edit their own films, adverts, animations or movie trailers in teams. Attendees will also be able to take away their own DVD at the end of the day. Another great team building exercise on offer is a News Day. Spilt your staff into groups of reporters, cameramen, presenters and production staff then watch them produce their own news channel. Working to real-time deadlines the National Media Museum’s News Day is a great way to get your staff to think on their feet and bond with their colleagues.
5. RIVERSIDE COTTAGE
Everyone loves eating but not everyone loves cooking. Bridge your departmental divides with an exciting and educational cooking day at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s famous Riverside Cottage. Learn a variety of culinary tasks like filleting a fish or baking bread, venture into the farm to meet the animals, forage for food in the farmland with a specially assigned chef or just book yourself in for a cookery demonstration followed by a delicious meal. A fun and informative day for everyone.
