We've had a LOT of fun with our client over the last couple of days😅 based at the excellent Wood Hall Hotel & Spa

Once we got the work out of the way, we had a huge amount of fun with a competitive Cookery Team Challenge, and great to be working with Karen and the team from Tastes Divine.

4 different disciplines for our teams to master; Canape Creations, Bake Off, Cake Decorating and Spaghetti Towers.

Some amazingly creative skills were on show, leaving our judges with a difficult task determining the winner.

Then we moved on to our unique Wine Options Wine Tasting Quiz which saw our teams sampling some really good quality Prosecco and Wines, and having to determine as much as possible about each one.

A great way to get the evening off to a lively start.....

Event Number 2 of the week! The "Laptops Off, Wellies On" Festival...

This one saw a team of 125 guests travel from London to the outstanding Camp Kátur Glamping on the Camp Hill Estate near Bedale for a 2 day event.

The first day we delivered a mixture of Wellbeing Activities including Pilates, Yoga, Forest Bathing & Orienteering. Thank you to Katie Hanson Pilates Forest Bathing UK - Connect in Nature and Amanda Winstanley. Also on offer for the group was our Adrenalin Zone - Powerturn Off Road Buggies, Axe Throwing, Total Wipeout, Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting & Dodgeball.

The evening was time for the group to let their hair down, with a Mobile Karaoke Studio after dinner which was very popular.

We filled the huge variety of luxury Glamping Accommodation on site, with the rest of the group in Festival Bell Tent accommodation.

Day 2 was a whole group team activity - "The Wacky Races" with teams designing their own Soap Box Cart before racing them to see who would be crowned Champions. There were some great designs!!

The Team headed back to London refreshed and

Fantastic event produced and delivered for our client at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

The 2 day event saw the group Meet, Eat, Drive, Shoot, Teambuild, Party, and then the highlight was the Animal Enrichment Activity on Day 2.

The Team got hands-on in redesigning one of the Howler Monkey Enclosures, removing the old platforms and building and replacing them with new ones. This was a big task and the team really rose to the occasion. Before & After pics here.

The real highlight was then seeing Namid the female Howler Monkey being released back into the pen to discover and explore her new surroundings, much to the absolute delight of our group.

It's a great feeling knowing that your efforts will be there for everyone to see in the years to come, and for the animals to enjoy. Great to work with Mark and his team at Team Building with BITE again - looking forward to the next one!

What a great event we produced and managed in Amsterdam last week for our client 😎

With the emphasis for the event being on we sourced a "non corporate" venue - the outstanding Rosarium in Amstel Park.

Resilience Training and Mental Wellbeing Workshops were followed by a fantastic pilates class delivered by Katie Hanson Pilates providing a fun & insightful break out session relating to wellness in the workplace, and a chance for the delegates to de-stress.

The evening comprised of a bespoke private dinner cruise around the canals of Central Amsterdam, taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant city.

Looking forward to the repeat event in March already 😁
