TBCo's Royal Wedding Call Up

What a weekend ahead! Two massive celebrations… The Royal Wedding and the FA Cup Semi Final!!

Starting off with THE wedding of the year! Price Harry will marry Meghan Markle on Saturday at 12pm! Everything has now been organised and prepared by The Lord Chamberlain’s Office at Buckingham Palace!

We normally get a lot of enquiries from event organisers to support on events however we’re not sure why we haven’t been asked to supply some of the essentials for the big day… 

First up – The Cake!

Claire Ptak (an east London pastry chef) is due to make the wedding cake for Saturday… I’m sure we could have come up with something fit for a Royal Wedding on our Ready, Steady, Bake event!

 

Transfer

After the ceremony Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will travel around Windsor Town in the Ascot Landau carriage… we will be on stand-by just in case with our segways, or maybe one of our client’s F1 cars!

  F1 Challenge

Music

Ellie Goulding performed at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011, so the big question is, who will be providing the music for this Royal Wedding’s reception? Our clients have been practising on our Perfect Harmony event, just in case for a last minute call up!

 

The Dress

Finally, what everyone has been talking about… who will be designing Meghan’s wedding dress? Again our clients have been hard at work on our Generation Game creating beautiful frocks as part of our Catwalk Caper activity!

 

 

If the Royal Wedding isn’t for you and you’re a footie fan, then Saturday also brings the FA Cup Semi Final where Chelsea will play (and hopefully win) against Man United!

If you’re not into football or the Royal Wedding… take inspiration from our clients who are spending the day blasting around the Solent on our Rib Treasure Hunt!

Overview

Non-competitive, creative team building

Our Da Vinci's Designs event encourages teams to get a little bit creative. But don't worry, even if you aren't a budding artist, this event is still great fun! Creativity, teamwork and communication come together in this artistic team building challenge.

The aim of the event is to create a piece of collaborative artwork that everyone has contributed to. Because the end product is a result of effective communication, the power of teamwork is clearly illustrated – pun intended…

About

The Event Format

We start off with a fun art themed quiz to get the creative juices flowing and put the group into the right frame of mind for the challenge ahead.

The aim is for everyone to contribute a section to a huge Da Vinci classic. Splitting the group into pairs we give each pair a canvas on which they replicate a section of the complete painting.

Every pair needs to be aware of the progress of the others and communication is essential for a cohesive result. In a grand finale, all the individual canvases are put together and your giant masterpiece is revealed. The end result is always impressive, with everybody pleasantly surprised with what they have managed to create together.

How it works

How does Da Vinci's Design work?

Da Vinci's Designs is a collaborative art team building event for 5 to 250 people, where pairs each paint one section of a famous Da Vinci work that is then joined into a giant masterpiece. It lasts 1 to 2 hours. Here's how it runs.

  1. Split into pairs

    Your group is split into pairs, and each pair receives its own canvas showing one section of the complete painting.

  2. Paint your section

    Each pair replicates its section of the Da Vinci classic. No artistic experience is needed.

  3. Keep talking

    Every pair needs to stay aware of what the others are doing, so communication is essential for a cohesive result.

  4. The grand reveal

    All the canvases are put together, and your giant masterpiece is revealed. The result is always impressive.

The Da Vinci event was great, if I’m honest I didn’t expect it to turn out as well as it did, the artwork looked so colourful and creative. The concentration on everyone’s face was immense, and I think we all realised just how particular we all are lol

FAQs

Da Vinci's Design: Frequently Asked Questions

Your group works together to recreate a large-scale masterpiece. After a light-hearted art quiz, participants are divided into pairs and given individual canvases to paint. At the end, every canvas is brought together to reveal one impressive collaborative artwork.

Not at all. This is a creative team-building activity, not an art class, so nobody is judged on technical ability. The fun comes from interpreting your section, working with neighbouring pairs and seeing how everyone's contribution fits into the bigger picture.

Each pair recreates one section of the chosen artwork. They need to communicate with the teams working on the surrounding sections so that colours, lines and proportions connect. The final reveal shows just how much can be achieved when everybody works towards one shared goal.

Da Vinci's Design is one of the more relaxed, collaborative activities in our UK team-building collection. Rather than racing against other teams, participants concentrate on cooperation and producing something together, making it particularly suitable for groups that prefer creativity to intense competition.

The completed masterpiece can provide a lasting reminder of the day. Groups have chosen to display their artwork back at the office, where it becomes both a colourful talking point and a visible example of what the team created together.

Yes. The activity can be delivered at offices, hotels and other suitable indoor venues across the UK. We prepare the workspace and protect the relevant surfaces, so your team can concentrate on painting without worrying about leaving the meeting room looking like an artist's studio.

The activity usually lasts between one and two hours. This makes it easy to include within a company away day, conference programme or afternoon of indoor team-building activities without taking over the entire schedule.

Da Vinci's Design is suitable for approximately 5 to 250 participants. Because the finished artwork is divided into smaller sections, both modest teams and much larger corporate groups can make a meaningful contribution to the final result.

Yes. Working in pairs gives everybody a clear piece of the project to complete. Participants also need to look beyond their own canvas, compare progress with other teams and make adjustments so the finished picture works as a whole.

The activity brings communication, cooperation and attention to detail into one creative challenge. It is particularly good at demonstrating how individual pieces of work affect a wider project—and how a better result emerges when colleagues share information rather than working in isolation.
