Team Building in Cambridge FAQs
Yes. We run team building right across Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area, including Ely, Huntingdon, St Neots, Peterborough and the science and business parks around the city. We come to you, so wherever your team is based, we can deliver the day.
Wherever suits you. Many of our indoor activities run in your own meeting room or office, and we bring everything needed. For larger or outdoor events we will find you a Cambridge venue through our free venue finding service, from city-centre spaces to country-house venues in the surrounding countryside.
Our most-booked activities in Cambridge are Pizza Making, the Smartphone Pub Treasure Hunt and Cocktail Making, followed by Perfume Making and an Olympic Sports Day. The table above shows what each one involves and the kind of day it suits.
Yes, at no extra cost. Our free team building venue finding service sources the right Cambridge venue for your group size, date and activity, and we are paid a commission by the venue rather than charging you, so you pay the same as booking direct.
It depends on the activity, your group size and the length of the day, with the lowest-priced Cambridge activities from around £18 per person. We confirm the full cost up front in your quote, usually within 30 minutes, so there are no surprises.
Most run for around two to three hours, and many can be built into a half or full day with several activities combined. We plan it around your schedule, whether that is a short session after a meeting or a full away day.
From small teams of around six up to several hundred. Nearly every activity scales, so we adjust the format, staff and kit to your numbers. Tell us your group size and we will recommend what works best.
A few weeks' notice is ideal, and popular dates in summer and December book up faster, so earlier is better for those. That said, we regularly arrange Cambridge events at shorter notice, so it is always worth asking.
For bigger teams, a Corporate Sports Day or the Crystal Team Challenge work well, since they split easily into competing teams and keep everyone involved. We will match the format to your numbers and space.
Yes. Plenty of our activities are fully indoor, from Pizza Making and Cocktail Making to the Crystal Team Challenge and casino or gameshow evenings, so a Cambridge event works just as well in winter as in summer.
Yes, regularly. Cambridge is among the cities we run team building in most often. Clients include AstraZeneca, who chose us to run Chain Reaction for their team here. You can read the AstraZeneca case study for the detail.
Fully Insured & ABTA Members (Y6501) – every event is insured and risk assessed.
Rated Excellent on Trustpilot with 2,811+ five-star reviews – your team is in safe hands.

We fed back to the team, what an excellent event they setup for us! It was by far the best team building activity we held all year – we wish we could do them like this more often. The management team and all those who took part raved about the task and how well it worked for team building.
