Why Choose Edinburgh for Team Building Activities?
Well, not only is this city the grand capital of Scotland, but home to rich culture and hundreds of venues where your team building day can be unforgettable.
When you’re not admiring the impressive castle perched up on the hill, there’s a huge choice in brilliant activities both indoor and outdoor to get everyone competing. And better still, a huge choice means that’s something for every kind of team and team building goal.
Whether you want to sharpen communication skills in-house or you want to show off a new product with an added bit of fun for the team, we can find something to suit you perfectly. Be warned though, in the winter months, it can get very chilly so if it’s an outdoor activity you’re after near Christmas time, you’re best going elsewhere or sticking to indoor activities only.
Competitive Team Building Activities
There’s huge choice of team building events in Edinburgh but competitive activities are suited best here.
By competitive, we mean getting up on your feet and being put into teams to go head to head with your fellow colleagues with challenges and fun games to bring out everyone’s skills and personalities.
From the action packed Zorb football to Archery Battle Zone Tag, these games aim to get a bit of friendly competition going and they work wonders.
Team building in Edinburgh doesn’t necessarily mean going head to head with each other and competing, other activities get you all working together like chain reaction or cocktail making at one of the city’s fancy bars.
A Scottish Team Away Day
We almost forgot to mention perhaps the most important activity on our list- Highland games, the most fitting activity for the capital of Scotland.
Taking place in one of the city’s great open green spaces or in the captivating Scottish countryside, Highland games is one of the best competitive experiences on offer and provides all the laughs, teamwork and communication you want from a team building event.
If you want a more chilled out experience then you can count on the likes of cocktail making, life drawing, perfume making and a spa pamper day.
It doesn't really matter where the team event takes place, what matters is you get everyone involved.
Whether you're rewarded a hard working team after a solid year or you just want to strengthen the communication of a new team - this is the way forward.
Hundreds of companies have bought into the idea of a fun, brain teasing event to get the team involved in, and see their personalities outside of a working environment.
