After London, this giant is known to be the hub of all upcoming ideas, perfect for motivating your crew.
The city has everything from show-stopping development to innovative indoor events or grand outdoor layouts. Known for pushing the boundaries through culture and nightlife, the city has also done the same for team building in Manchester.
Say farewell to boring in-office exercises, corporate-feeling and dreary activities, and introduce your staff to a workshop that will take them by surprise. From delicious chocolate making to the infamous commercial team break, there’s an activity for every kind of office found in the confines of Manchester; we also have some fantastic Christmas team events to add to your workplace.
Manchester is known for breaking the rules of days out and giving you something your staff will want to be a part of, creating effective development from the start.
Blending activities for a full day is your forte; ask your events manager to give you a helping hand at curating a personal event for your company.

Competitive, indoor or outdoor, formal or informal – with such a big city, you can be sure Manchester has all kinds of team building activities.
Competitive activities have proven to be a top way to get everyone invested in the experience, especially if you offer a prize at the end of the event.
Something like Zorb Bubble Games might go perfectly for a highly competitive activity while still adding an element of fun that will make this event feel more like leisure than work.
Of course, events aren't all about pitting your members against each other in a gruelling challenge.
Inclusive activities like chain reaction are a great way to encourage cooperation and communication with something fun.

Reviews for Manchester
The guys who installed the game were really helpful, quick and friendly.
We will definitely be considering you again for future events.
The tasks were all brilliant, as they were all different, interesting and snappy. The newspaper search, marshmallow tower, balloons etc. were all fun and interesting. Thanks for a great afternoon and all your help in organising it for us.
The general consensus was that the event was great fun and really tested people's minds. Many said it was the most fun day they had on an away day with the company.
A massive thanks for all your hard work and efforts.
