Here’s some Team Building In Newcastle Inspiration for you!
Whilst a few days ago we were getting inspired by the vast variety of indoor venues on offer in Leeds, today we’ve moved on to Newcastle, and are exploring the outdoor spaces nearby. It’s at this time of year that anyone planning a large-scale summer outdoor team building day or summer party will probably be starting to look for venues, and Newcastle has an excellent selection.
As Newcastle is the most populous city in the North East, and well known for being a centre of corporate headquarters, digital technology and culture, it might not spring to mind as the best place to hold an outdoor team building event. However, Newcastle encompasses many beautiful outdoor areas that, on a sunny day in June, would make the perfect location for a corporate team building away day.
For example, Exhibition Park is a huge outdoor area which also boasts a skate park, a military museum, a boating lake and crazy golf. Your guests are certain to be entertained even after they have finished taking part in their collaborative team building activities!
If you’re planning a summer outdoor team building event, Zing has a huge selection of competitive, creative and collaborative outdoor team building activities for you to choose from. Our Multi-Activity Day programme gives you the chance to choose from a variety of fun and engaging experiences including zorbing, segways, climbing walls and a choice of over 30 different inflatables.
Whats a great team building venue in Newcastle?
Another great outdoor space just outside of Newcastle is Lumley Castle, a luxury hotel surrounded by sumptuous parklands and overlooking the River Wear. The Castle’s vast rolling fields make the perfect location for one of our favourite outdoor team building activities – the Soap Box Derby!
The Soap Box Derby pits a number of teams against each other, challenging them to see who can create the most inventive and aerodynamic soapbox cars. The cars are then raced against each other with one steely nerved team member elected to be the driver. This competitive challenge isn’t just about speed – it also requires collaboration, creativity and technical skill. Teams need to work together to build, brand and ultimately race their masterpiece. It’s hands-on, high energy and seriously good fun.
Of course, Newcastle isn’t only a great spot for outdoor team building activities; it also provides great venues for corporate indoor team building activities, evening team building, corporate parties and many other events. Whatever team building activity you envision, Zing can make it a reality.
