Team Building Activities in Nottingham
Team building activities in Nottingham have the clearest pattern of any of our East Midlands locations: treasure hunts get booked here more than any other kind of activity, which fits a city centre you can walk from the Lace Market to the Market Square in a few minutes. Nottingham has been a regular fixture for our corporate team building team since 2007, part of more than 10,000 team building events run across the UK, with a dedicated event manager planning it beforehand.
Enquiries spread wider than the bookings do, with chocolate making the single most requested. Our event team travels to your Nottingham office or venue with the activity, the kit and the staff to run it, so nobody has to organise anything on the day. Tell us your numbers and we will match the format to your group, with free venue finding if you need a room.

Team Building Venues in Nottingham
The majority of Nottingham events run at the client's own office, and the city adds hotels and function rooms through the Lace Market and the city centre, with conference space for anything larger. Treasure hunts use the centre itself, and outdoor formats head for the parkland and the Trent riverside once the group gets big enough to need room. We cover Nottinghamshire around it, so Beeston, West Bridgford, Arnold, Hucknall, Mansfield and Newark-on-Trent are all comfortable, along with the offices out at NG2 and the business parks on the ring road. No room of your own? Our free venue finding service puts one together for your numbers and your side of the city at no extra cost.
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.

Team Building in Nottingham FAQs
Yes. We come out to you across Nottingham and the wider county, taking in Beeston, West Bridgford, Arnold, Hucknall, Mansfield and Newark-on-Trent. Whatever the activity needs travels with our staff.
Your own office handles most of what we run here, and the Lace Market and city centre have hotels and function rooms if you would rather be elsewhere. Treasure hunts work off the centre itself, and outdoor formats use the parkland and the riverside.
Treasure hunts are booked in Nottingham more than any other kind of activity, with the smartphone urban treasure hunt the one teams take most. On enquiries chocolate making comes top, ahead of the Betrayers, Qubed and race nights.
Yes, free of charge. Our venue finding service draws up options that fit your headcount and your part of Nottingham, and the venue pays our commission, so the price matches booking it yourself.
The cheapest options start at around £18 per person. Where it lands depends on the activity, how many people are coming and how long you run it, so pass those over and a full quote follows, usually inside 30 minutes.
Two to three hours is the usual shape, which fits an afternoon without eating the whole day. Run two back to back and you have a half or full day.
Six people through to several hundred. A small Nottingham team takes one activity between them, and bigger groups run in heats or across parallel sessions with the staff to keep it moving.
A few weeks is usually enough, with summer and the run-up to Christmas the two periods that go early. Late requests are often still possible, so it costs nothing to ask.
The Crystal Team Challenge is the one we put most large Nottingham groups into, because the zones absorb numbers and everyone is playing at once. A smartphone treasure hunt scales just as well, since you simply add teams to the same route.
Yes. Chocolate making, the Betrayers, Qubed and race nights are all indoor, and a treasure hunt can be routed between indoor stops if the weather turns.
Yes, Nottingham is one of our steadier East Midlands locations. Nationally our client list runs from AstraZeneca to KPMG, and as an ABTA-bonded company rated Excellent on Trustpilot, a Nottingham booking sits on exactly the same footing.
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.

Reviews for Nottingham
7th November 2023
The event was great, everyone had a good time!
9th September 2019
The event went well and everyone enjoyed the treasure hunt very much.
But it was really good fun and I'd say the interactive picture / video tasks were the highlight for me as these were the ones where team efforts were required and got everyone involved, which was the main goal of the event.
Thank you very much for your help in organising this event for us, it's much appreciated.

Everything ran smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves.
21st December 2018
the Christmas treasure hunt was enjoyed by all, however, the general consensus was that it was really more of a pub crawl / pub quiz style app rather than a treasure hunt. Hope you find the feedback useful and thank you again for the experience.
24th August 2018
The event was a total SUCCESS! Everything was great and everyone had an amazing time.
