Fun day out for employees...

Violetta

Hi All

Can anyone give some ideas and the direction where will be the best place to look for a Company fun day event, please.

About 400 people.

Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards

  • Hi Violetta

    When our staff asked for a summer fun-day last year, we set up a Google sheet for them to add their suggestions. Yes, we got lots of different ones, but it gave us a good idea of the sort of thing that appealed to the majority. I then went away and looked at costs and with the MD decided on what the final event should be. We're a much smaller company, but we ended up sponsoring 4 days of volunteering with Groundwork, a national charity that work with local community groups, and can support with either small events, or much larger ones.
    We followed that with a half day Sports Day, complete with sack race, giant egg and spoon race etc. It was run by an events company that came to our office (we have a green space out the front) and we laid on a barbecue. All good fun, and most people very happy!

    This year we've done the same thing - the general mood was for something less energetic, so it's going to be the same volunteering days, followed by a city treasure hunt and pizza.
