Team Building in Leicester FAQs
Yes. We come to you across Leicester and Leicestershire, including Loughborough, Hinckley, Melton Mowbray and Coalville. Everything the activity needs travels with us.
Most Leicester events run at your own office or a room you already use, and we also work in city hotels, bars and function rooms, with treasure hunts and outdoor games using the centre and Victoria Park. Need a room? We will find it.
On our enquiry data, Leicester is games-and-social led: race nights, Qubed and the Betrayers tie at the top, alongside our sports multi activity day and cocktail making.
Yes, at no cost. Our venue finding service finds a room to suit your group and part of Leicester, and since the venue pays the commission you pay exactly what you would booking direct.
The cheapest activities begin at about £18 per person, moving with what you choose, your group size and the running time. Share the numbers and we will send a full quote, usually within 30 minutes.
A typical session is two to three hours, which fits an afternoon. Pair activities up and you have a half or full day.
Anything from six to several hundred. A compact team does one activity; a larger Leicester group splits into heats or concurrent sessions, staffed to keep pace.
A few weeks tends to be plenty. Peak summer and December go first, so give those more time, though we can often take shorter notice.
For a large Leicester group, race nights and a sports multi activity day both scale well. Race nights fill a room with everyone playing, and the sports day runs plenty of stations at once.
Yes. Race nights, Qubed, the Betrayers and cocktail making all run indoors, so winter weather never gets in the way.
Yes. Our client list runs from AstraZeneca to KPMG, and with ABTA bonding and an Excellent Trustpilot rating, a Leicester booking carries the same backing.

Reviews for Leicester

Yes thanks everything ran really smoothly and we had a fun night. The Cocktail team were brilliant and looked after us really well. I would definitely recommend the venue and the activity. Thanks to all the team at Funktion too for arranging the activity for us and for being so helpful and appreciative of the complications of organising a group event. Your online event management system is fabulous and makes organising and keeping track of things so much easier.
Would recommend it to others.
