Evening Team Building Activities & Events
Team building does not have to happen on work time. Our evening team building activities and events are built for after hours: race nights, casino tables, gameshows and pub treasure hunts that slot in after a conference, run alongside a meal or make a night of their own. Funktion Events has run more than 10,000 team building events since 2007, and we supply the host, the kit and the running order, so the evening looks after itself.

The Evening Team Building Activities Teams Book Most
Ranked by what work teams actually book with us once the day job is done. Every one comes with our staff and kit, and none of them depend on the venue having anything more than a room:
Swipe to see what you do and best for →
| Activity | What you do | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Smartphone Pub Treasure Hunt | A self-run quiz trail around the pubs, played on your phones | Relaxed rivalry over a few drinks |
| Cocktail Making | Shake, muddle and mix your own drinks with a pro bartender | A sociable, hands-on wind-down |
| Casino Table Hire | Play roulette, blackjack and poker with real croupiers | A touch of glamour after dinner |
| The Betrayers | Bluff, accuse and survive the round table with your colleagues | An evening of suspicion and tactics |
| Race Nights | Back your horse in filmed races with a costumed host | Big-group excitement, no skill needed |
| Qubed | Beat the cube in a series of hosted skill challenges | A showpiece game to end the night |
| Pub Olympics | Compete in teams at darts, air hockey and bar games | Casual competition in a pub setting |
| Mobile Cocktail Making | A pop-up bar and bartenders brought into your office | Making the office the venue |
Race Nights earn a special mention: year after year they pull more enquiries than almost anything else we run, because they need no skill, work for ten people or two hundred, and turn any function room into a racecourse for the night.
Evening Team Building for Awards Nights, Conferences & the Office Do
Most evening events we run are attached to an occasion. Casino tables and race nights are classic corporate evening entertainment after an awards dinner, a gameshow keeps a conference crowd going after the talks finish, and if you are planning the festive do, our Christmas team building and party ideas cover the whole night. We run these in hotels, function rooms and offices, and if you have not booked a space yet, our free venue finding service sorts one for your group size and city.
No occasion needed, though. After work team building is the easiest event you will ever organise: a couple of hours straight from the office, no travel, no day of annual leave, and the whole team actually turns up.
What Every Team Building Event Includes
- We come to you – our event team travels to your office or venue anywhere in the UK, with all the kit and setup.
- A dedicated event manager – one point of contact who plans the day with you and runs it on the day.
- Free venue finding – if you need a space, we source the right one for your group size and location at no extra cost.
- Fully insured and ABTA-bonded (Y6501) – every event is covered and your booking is protected.
Teams We've Run These For
Most of these formats run indoors, so for the full weatherproof list see our indoor team building activities. After something nobody has done before? Try our unusual team building activities. And if the evening plan is still up in the air, all our most-booked team building activities are in one place.
“Evenings are when teams actually relax, the work talk stops about ten minutes in. Tell me the occasion, whether it's the Christmas do, an awards night or just a few hours after work, and I'll line up the entertainment and a venue if you need one.”
Izzie
Corporate Event Manager
