Christmas Activities

Planning a corporate fun day that everyone will remember doesn't have to be a daunting task. Whether you're aiming to boost morale, encourage team bonding, or just give everyone a well-deserved break, infusing your event with fun and interactive activities can make all the difference. 


Why Choose a Festival Theme for Your Corporate Fun Day?  

Thinking about a festival theme for your next corporate fun day? Here's why it's a stellar idea: festivals have laid-back vibes, great music, and activities that get everyone involved. Picture your whole team chilling together, laughing over some live music, or teaming up for a tug-of-war under the sun. It's a simple, straightforward way to shake off the formal office atmosphere and bring everyone together in a fun, relaxed setting.  

Festival themes are fantastic because they cut through the usual office hierarchy. You might catch your boss manning the BBQ or see the quiet folks from accounting tearing it up in a dance-off. Relaxed festival fun days are perfect for helping everyone loosen up and really get to know each other outside of the work environment emails and meetings. 

With the opportunity to get creative, there are a large number of things you could implement. We could set up different zones like a DIY tent, a mini tech fair, or even a yoga space to make sure there's something for everyone. With a large variety of different activities, there's something to keep the day interesting for everyone, no matter their interests, everyone will feel included and have something to do. 

So, why go with a festival theme? It's simple: they turn an ordinary corporate day into an epic event that’s all about celebrating teamwork and having a great time. Building stronger connections and memories in the process. 


Key Benefits of Corporate Family Fun Days 

Strengthen Team Bonds:

Picture your always serious boss competing in a sack race, laughing alongside everyone else. corporate team building events and fun days break down formal office barriers and allow employees to connect on a more personal level, improving teamwork when back in the office. 

Boost Employee Morale:

There’s nothing like a fun day with the family to make employees feel appreciated. When companies invest in family-oriented events, it sends a strong message: We value your hard work. This appreciation goes a long way in boosting employee morale and job satisfaction. 

Attract and Retain Talent:

In today’s competitive job market, offering family-friendly perks can set a company apart. A commitment to fun and inclusive events can attract prospective employees and keep current staff from eyeing the exit. 

Promote Work-Life Balance:

Hosting a fun day where families are welcome shows that a company recognises the importance of personal time and relationships outside of work. This commitment to work-life balance can encourage employees to feel more fulfilled and less prone to burnout. 

Enhance Company Image:

These events also serve as informal PR opportunities. Happy employees often become brand ambassadors, sharing their positive experiences socially and enhancing the company's reputation in the community. 

Lasting Memories Create Lasting Loyalty:

Family fun days are more than just a day off; they create memories. These shared experiences can foster a deep sense of loyalty and pride among staff, contributing to a positive workplace culture where everyone feels like part of a community. 

By incorporating these elements, corporate family fun days not only provide a break from the daily grind but also build a stronger, more connected, and happier workplace. 


Incorporating Team Building into your corporate family fun day 

Adding team building into your corporate family fun day is a sure-fire way to improve colleague relationships and display company culture in a fun, inclusive setting. Team building activities bring colleagues together bringing positive vibes to a team, which in turn translate to the office. 

Start with activities that are easy for all ages and encourage participation without it feeling like work. Classic games like relay races or scavenger hunts can be tweaked to include elements related to your business or industry, as well as employee accessibility, making them more engaging while subtly reinforcing team roles and collaboration.  

Interactive workshops are another great corporate fun day activity option. These can range from arts and crafts sessions where teams create a project together, to cooking competitions where teams must come up with a recipe using selected ingredients. These activities encourage creativity and problem-solving and having a tangible product as a result can be immensely satisfying. 

Don’t forget to incorporate some digital elements, especially if your workforce includes many tech-savvy members. Digital treasure hunts using GPS, augmented reality experiences that tell your company’s history, or competitive team video games can all be great additions that blend traditional team building with modern technology. 

Lastly, ensure there's plenty of time for informal socialising. This might be during a picnic lunch or a casual barbecue. These moments allow everyone, from the newest intern to seasoned executives, along with their families, to mingle in a stress-free environment. It's in these relaxed settings that real relationships are forged, and organisational loyalty is strengthened. 


Top Corporate Fun Day Activities for a Festival Atmosphere 

Want to turn your corporate fun day into something that feels more like a lively festival than a formal event? It’s all about picking the right activities that get everyone from the CEO to the newest apprentice involved. Let’s check out some of the best activities that can bring that fun, festive vibe to your next company outing. Whether you're planning a big bash or a more intimate gathering, these ideas are sure to keep the energy up and the smiles wide. 

Face Painting

Face painting isn't just for the little ones! It’s a huge hit at all kinds of events, from relaxed family fun days to lively team building events and themed corporate parties. We've got a professional face painter who can whip up everything from intricate floral patterns to wild superhero masks. Just pick a design and chill out for a bit while they work their magic.  Whether you're getting painted or just watching, it’s sure to add a fun, artistic flair to your day. 

Fairground Stalls

At your next corporate event, why not bring in a bit of old-fashioned fair fun with some fairground stalls? These classic games can really liven up the atmosphere. 

Take the Coconut Shy, for example. It’s a simple game where you try to knock a coconut off its stand with a ball. Sounds easy, right? Well, it’s a bit trickier than it looks, but it's a great laugh, especially when you see who has a surprisingly good—or hilariously bad—throw. 

Then there’s Hook a Duck, which is just as much fun as you remember from childhood fairs. Everyone gets a little competitive trying to hook the fastest duck, and it's perfect for some light-hearted banter among teammates. 

Don’t forget about Hoopla—tossing hoops to land them over blocks for prizes. It’s a test of hand-eye coordination and always draws a crowd. And for those who fancy themselves as a bit of a sharpshooter, the Shooting Gallery and Tin Can Alley are fantastic for challenging your aim. 

And of course, there’s Darts, where everyone tries to hit the bullseye. It’s a pub classic that never fails to entertain. 

These fairground stalls are a great way to get everyone mingling, laughing, and enjoying the day together. It turns a standard corporate day out into something a bit more memorable. 

Rodeo Bull

Our rodeo bull adds a playful, competitive twist to the usual team building activities. Once you’re on, the challenge is to stay mounted as the bull bucks, spins, and twists. Don’t worry about the falls the inflatable mattress around the bull ensures everyone lands softly and safely. Our event coordinators are always on hand to operate the bull, adjusting the controls for different levels of difficulty to suit each rider. 

Whether you’re hosting a Christmas party, a company fun day, or just looking to bring a bit of excitement to a team building event, our rodeo bull is guaranteed to be a big talking point. So, saddle up and get ready for a white-knuckle ride that’s as hilarious as it is challenging! 

Circus Fun Day

Our Circus Fun Day turns any regular gathering into a full-blown circus party. Right from the get-go, you're thrown into a world of bright circus colours and funky photo spots where you can snap a pic as a muscle-bound strongman or a daring tightrope walker. 

But it’s not all about photos—there are games galore! Whether you're knocking down skittles or testing your strength at the high striker, there’s a bit of old-school carnival fun for everyone. And keep your eyes peeled because you might just bump into a juggler or a stilt walker wandering through the crowd, ready to show off some cool tricks. 

Inflatable Obstacle Course

Throwing an inflatable obstacle course into your corporate fun day mixes things up a bit. It's all about bouncing around, climbing over stuff, and trying not to wipe out while your teammates cheer you on. You'll see everyone from the office getting involved, from the apprentices to the managers, taking on tunnels, walls, and balance beams. It’s just a cool way to get everyone out of the office mode and into some fun, active challenges where you can laugh at yourself and high-five each other for making it through.
