Team Building in Southampton FAQs
Yes. We take team building all over Southampton and across Hampshire, out to Portsmouth, Winchester and Eastleigh. As we come to you, your team can meet close to work wherever they sit.
Almost anywhere. A good many indoor activities run in your own office or meeting room, and we turn up with the kit. When you want more room or the outdoors, our free venue finding secures a Southampton venue, from central spaces to bigger sites around Hampshire.
A broad mix, from cocktail making and a corporate sports day to The Betrayers, an Everest Challenge and Zorb Bubble Games. The table higher up covers what each is and the sort of team it suits, and the grid holds the full range.
Yes, at no cost to you. Our venue finding service lines up a Southampton venue to fit your group, date and activity, with the venue covering our commission so your price is the same as booking it yourself.
It hinges on the activity, your headcount and the length of the day, with the lowest-priced Southampton activities from about £18 each. We lay out the full price in your quote, normally within half an hour, and keep it all above board.
Usually a couple of hours to three, and stringing a few together builds a half or full day. We fit the timings to your diary, whether that is a brief session after a meeting or a full away day.
From small teams of half a dozen up to several hundred. As nearly everything adjusts to your numbers, we bring the staff and kit to suit. Tell us the size and we will recommend what works.
Ideally a few weeks, with the summer and festive dates going soonest, so book those ahead. Tighter timescales are often workable, so ask whatever your date.
For a larger Southampton team, a corporate sports day or Zorb Bubble Games break into competing sides so everyone joins in. We match the format to your numbers and the venue.
Yes. A good portion of our range is fully indoor, from cocktail making to gameshows and casino tables, so a wet or cold day is no barrier. Southampton winter events run every bit as well as summer ones.

Reviews for Southampton
20th July 2023
All went very well thanks and everyone seemed to have a good time - my teams were super competitive as expected. Will keep you in mind for anything that comes up in the future.
20th December 2018
we all really enjoyed it!
4th December 2018
The cocktail making was probably the highlight - it was great and I totally was not aware (I'm not sure if you were) that we had a table downstairs for afterwards with food being brought out to us, included in the price! So that was a lovely surprise and the guys who did the cocktail making were really superb.
