Summer season 2021
The recent government announcement concerning the new tier system is a positive step in the right direction for the hospitality industry and business as a whole. It’s been such a long time since office teams have been able to get together. Most hotels, venues and conference centres throughout the UK have reopened and are ready to take bookings for meetings, conferences and most importantly, teambuilding!
We’ve been working hard to ensure that all of our events are Covid safe and they have been adapted accordingly for social distancing purposes. Sanitising stations will be available at all events, and all of our equipment is regularly cleaned, before, during and post event. However with the vaccine already beginning to be rolled out across the UK there’s hope of a more ‘normal’ summer season in 2021.
With more people staying indoors during the pandemic, many may have been deprived of vitamin D, and under ‘normal’ circumstances, many of us get a good source of vitamin D by spending time outside. So why not consider one of our popular outdoor events such as Country Sports, Crystal Challenge or a Treasure Hunt for next season?
Crystal Challenge
The perfect solution for bringing teams back and re-introducing them to physically working together in order to achieve greater results. The Crystal Challenge tests your groups cerebral and motor skills, team work is essential as everyone will have a part to play in completing each task.
Country Sports
What could be better than a thrilling day in the country after spending so much time indoors?! Split into teams, your group take on a host of selected activities that could incude; Archery, laser clays, air rifles, quad bikes and even Duck herding… yes, you did read that right. Competitive spirit is always high and fun guaranteed, sunshine on the day only adds to the experience!
Treasure Hunts
One of our most adaptable events, no venue is needed and it can be run anywhere from central London to the country settings of the New Forest. We have a host of themes too, challenge your James Bond trivia in our 007 Treasure Hunt or can your team ‘blow the bloody doors off’ in our Parmesan Job?!
Safety is our number one priority and we can’t wait to welcome our clients, for some much needed fun and laughter in 2021. We look forward to working with you all once again!

Overview
A Thrilling Day in The Country
There's no better way to enjoy the great outdoors than to have a go at our selection of fun, challenging and engaging Country Sports activities. We have a great variety of team challenges including archery, laser clay shooting, Segways and duck herding amongst many others.
This event is designed to create an interesting and fun team bonding experience, fostering friendly competition in a lovely setting. The Country Sports event can be a great follow on from a morning of meetings, although more often than not clients like to enjoy a full day Country Sports team building event.
We work with a variety of venues all over the UK which we have selected for the quality and suitability of their outdoor facilities. Please contact us talk through which venue might be best for your team. Many of venues even allow us to run our high adrenaline motorised activities from Quad Bikes to Powerturns; again please talk to us.
About
The Event Format
The event will start with an introduction from our Event Manager. We will then split the group into teams; please do let us know in advance if you would like to allocate the teams beforehand. We will then head to out onto the activity field to be met by the instructors who will talk you through each activity. After that it's over to you to score as many points for your team as possible!
To maximise the experience and minimise the waiting around, teams are ideally fewer than eight people, but we have a large selection of equipment to ensure we can put on an event that best suits your group. Group sizes from five to two hundred and fifty are readily catered for.
A Country Sports activity day can either be structured with set teams and rotations around each activity, or we run the activities on a 'free-play' basis where participants have a go as they please. The activities are a mixture of high adrenaline and energetic challenges, such as Inflatable Volleyball and Offroad Buggies, and more relaxed, precision based activities, such as pistol and laser clay shooting.
We know that the weather can play a big factor in deciding on what to do for your team day out, don't worry, we have you covered come rain or shine!

FAQs
Country Sports: Frequently Asked Questions
Country Sports is a collection of outdoor activities rather than one fixed challenge, allowing the programme to combine activities such as archery, laser clay shooting, Segways and duck herding. Depending on the venue, you can also add more energetic or motorised options such as quad bikes, Powerturns and off-road buggies.
Yes. The Country Sports format is deliberately flexible, so the activities can be selected according to your group, venue and budget. You can combine precision activities such as archery or shooting with more energetic challenges, creating a programme with something different at each activity zone.
Yes. One of the advantages of combining several country sports is that the activities don't all demand the same type of ability. A day might include energetic challenges alongside precision-based activities such as pistol or laser clay shooting, allowing people to contribute in different ways.
The Event Manager begins with a group briefing before participants are split into teams. Instructors then take the teams through the individual activities, where points can be earned, either by following a planned rotation or through a more relaxed free-play format.
Yes. The event is particularly well suited to a corporate day where the morning is spent in meetings and the afternoon is given over to something more active. You can use Country Sports as a standalone activity day or as the energetic second half of a wider corporate programme.
It can, provided the chosen venue has the necessary facilities. Options can include quad bikes, Powerturns and off-road buggies, giving groups the opportunity to add some higher-adrenaline activities to the more traditional country sports.
Yes, duck herding is one of the more unusual options available. Teams work together to manoeuvre ducks or geese back into their pen, using a shepherd's crook and working with the handlers and dogs to guide the birds around the course.
The event can cater for groups of approximately 5 to 200 people. The exact activity combination is planned around your group size so that people spend less time waiting and more time taking part.
Country Sports is available at selected outdoor venues across the UK. The venues are chosen for their suitability for the activities, and the team can help identify a location that has the right facilities for the particular combination of challenges you want.
The event is designed to operate in both wet and dry conditions, and the activity programme can be planned around the venue and weather. With a mixture of activities available, the team can help select the most suitable options rather than relying on one outdoor challenge to carry the entire event.
