Which outdoor team event suits your group?

Outdoor team events offer plenty of scope to get active, compete and tackle challenges together. To find the right fit, consider the activity level, group size, your goals and the venue conditions together.

Depending on the setting, rallies, Team-Parcours, building projects, archery or bigger team challenges are all options. For a full team day, suitable activities can be planned as a company outing. If you want to minimise disruption from the weather, you’ll find alternatives under indoor team events.

Consider space, ground conditions, access, permits and arrangements for bad weather early in your planning. These details help us assess which outdoor activities can work at your preferred location.

Outdoor events to suit your activity level and venue

Discover events

Getting active and sharing experiences

The team leaves its usual working surroundings behind and tackles a shared challenge in a new setting.

From city streets to open spaces

Depending on the activity, city centres, company grounds, parks or suitable event spaces are options. The conditions are checked in advance.

Different activity levels

Not every outdoor event has to be physically demanding. The choice can be adapted to the group’s mobility, experience and the intensity they’re after.

A weather plan from the start

We agree in advance under what conditions the activity can go ahead, and what adjustment or alternative is planned if the weather isn’t suitable.

Frequently asked questions about outdoor team events

Answers to your questions about suitable activities, spaces, weather, group sizes and planning your outdoor event.

What ideas are there for outdoor team events?

Options include city rallies, GPS-based activities, team challenges, archery, raft building or courses you tackle together. The choice depends on your goal, the terrain, group size and the activity level you want.

Does an outdoor team event have to be sporty?

No. Alongside more physically active options, there are challenges where strategy, creativity, skill or communication take centre stage. What matters is setting the activity level to suit the group in advance.

Which places are suitable for outdoor events?

Depending on the activity, company grounds, parks, urban areas, open spaces or the grounds of an event venue are options. Usage rights, ground conditions, access, toilet facilities and other conditions each need to be checked.

What happens if it rains or the weather is bad?

Some events can go ahead with adjustments in mildly unsettled weather; others need an alternative space or an indoor activity. Whether the weather allows the event to go ahead, and any possible alternative, will be agreed for your booking.

What group sizes are outdoor team events suited to?

There are activities for small teams and for larger groups. Besides the number of participants, what counts is the space available, the number of stations and how fully you want everyone involved.

What should we wear to an outdoor event?

The advice depends on the season, the weather and the activity. As a rule, comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and suitable footwear make sense. You’ll get specific tips to match the activity you choose.

Are permits needed?

That depends on the place and the activity. Using public spaces or areas that serve particular purposes may require consultation or permits, so it’s best to clarify who is responsible early on.

Can outdoor events be combined with a company party?

Yes, an outdoor activity can kick things off, take centre stage or complement the rest of the party. Plan the timings, routes, changing facilities and activities that follow together.
