6. Build a Bike for Charity
A Build a Bike charity team-building session makes an excellent away day because it’s active, purposeful and genuinely engaging. Instead of sitting through presentations, your team works together on a hands-on challenge with a clear and meaningful outcome: building bikes that will be donated to children who need them.
​
From the start, the shared goal brings people together. Colleagues collaborate, problem-solve and communicate in a relaxed, natural way, often with plenty of laughter along the way. Everyone has a role to play, which helps break down hierarchy and encourages quieter voices to get involved.
​
What really sets this activity apart is the sense of achievement at the end. Seeing the finished bikes lined up is powerful, especially knowing they’ll make a real difference to someone’s life. It leaves teams feeling proud, connected and energised.
​
It’s a refreshing change from a typical away day — fun, meaningful and memorable, with lessons that carry straight back into the workplace

7. Animation Team Building
A stop-motion animation team building session like Animate is a fantastic away day choice because it turns your team into storytellers and creators — not just passive participants
Instead of tuning out in another lecture-style workshop, everyone gets hands-on with iPads and creative tools to build their own stop-motion short film, blending imagination with collaboration.
​
Right from the introduction by a live host, the atmosphere feels upbeat and purposeful. Your group is split into smaller teams who then brainstorm, storyboard and animate their ideas around a shared theme. It’s fun, it’s playful, and there’s a real sense of achievement when each team’s video plays back on the big screen.
​
This isn’t just busywork — it naturally encourages clear communication, time management and creative problem-solving in a way that feels effortless and enjoyable. Teams walk away laughing, inspired by each other’s creativity, and with a memorable piece of work that reflects your company’s values

How should I start planning a corporate offsite?
The first job is to agree on a date (and budget!). Then it's onto sourcing a venue. You can either use a venue finding business, like Venue Scanner, or Google for your local area. You'll need to think about feeding and watering everyone. Once a venue has been sourced, you can then start filling the content. If you're looking for external providers, start with these.
