Team Building Activities in Cheltenham
Team building activities in Cheltenham lean towards gameshow and problem-solving formats, with our Retro Showdown gameshow and Qubed both featuring strongly behind chocolate making. Funktion Events has delivered corporate team building in Cheltenham since 2007, working from a base of more than 10,000 team building events across the UK, with a dedicated event manager putting the day together and our event team bringing the activity and the kit to your Cheltenham office or venue.
Cheltenham is one of our Gloucestershire locations, and that mix gives the town a livelier shape than the food-first pattern most places show. Pick what suits and we will size it to your group, with free venue finding if you need a room.

Team Building in Cheltenham FAQs
Yes. We come to you across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Stroud and Cirencester. Everything the activity needs comes with the team.
Cheltenham events usually run at your own office or a room you already use, and we also work in local hotels and function rooms around the town centre and the Promenade, with treasure hunts and outdoor games using the streets and parks. If you need a space, we will find one.
On our enquiry data, chocolate making is the most requested activity in Cheltenham, but the distinctive lean is towards gameshow and problem-solving formats: our Retro Showdown gameshow and Qubed both feature strongly, alongside the Betrayers and our smartphone urban treasure hunt.
Yes, free of charge. Our venue finding service finds a room to match your group and part of Cheltenham, and with the venue covering the commission, the price is identical to booking direct.
Around £18 per person is the entry point, and the rest depends on the activity, the group and the length of the session. Share the headcount and we will send the full costing, usually inside 30 minutes.
Most sessions land at two to three hours, ideal before an evening out. Pair a few together and you have a half or full day.
Anywhere from six to several hundred. Small teams tackle one activity; larger Cheltenham groups run in heats or concurrently, staffed to keep everyone busy.
Two or three weeks is usually fine. Summer and the festive season book up first, so plan those early, though we can often take shorter-notice dates.
For a large Cheltenham group, Retro Showdown and a corporate sports day both scale well. The gameshow fills a room with everyone scoring, and a sports day runs plenty of stations outdoors.
Yes. Chocolate making, Retro Showdown, Qubed and the Betrayers all run indoors, so a wet or cold day makes no difference to the plan.
Yes. We have run team building for companies from AstraZeneca to KPMG, and as an ABTA-bonded business rated Excellent on Trustpilot, a Cheltenham booking sits on the same record.
