Happy World Animal Day!
Here at TBCo we feel the best way to celebrate World Animal Day is to write a lovely blog about all the animals we encounter on our events…
Ducks & Geese
Obviously one of our favourite activities… Duck Herding! Participants get to work as a team to manoeuvre a gaggle of geese or ducks back into their pen, this activity works really well alongside our Country Sports event.
Birds of Prey
Sticking with the bird theme, we come onto our birds of prey… Falconry is yet another spectacular Country Sports activity, which can also be booked as a stand-alone experience for a small group. This activity leaves everyone in awe; watch as our Falconer displays these stunning birds of prey to the delight and rapture of your group.
Dogs
We get the joys of playing with our dogs on our Duck Herding event! Participants will learn how to control the sheep/duck–dogs to work as a team to herd the birds. We can also offer sheep herding and gun dog handling!
Country Estate Friends
The joys of most of the venues we work with means we bump into many animals out and about… from New Forest pigs at Rhinefield House to peacocks at Larmer Tree.
Water Friends
If you have a go on our Solent RIB Treasure Hunt or Corporate Sailing Days you may be lucky enough to spot a few water animals. This season we have had clients and skippers spotting lots of dolphins and seals!
Office Friends
Where we are based in the New Forest means we sometimes have some very interesting visitors, from ducks trying to find the local pond to Shetland ponies… (We’re still not sure how we ended up with this visitor).
We are proud to say these animals are some of the best treated and well pampered around. The welfare of our little friends is top priority!

Beat The Box
Overview
Fast paced and fun challenges to test the team
Taking inspiration from the hit TV game show ‘The Cube’, our Beat the Box team building event requires teams to complete a series of bespoke challenges expertly designed to promote communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.
Containing an equal number of individual and team activities, this highly inclusive and competitive event has been custom designed to be enjoyable for all participants whilst promoting the team dynamic.
This electrifying event combines timed box challenges completed at tables and pressure-packed showcase challenges - inspired by the heart-stopping gameshow - in our Beat the Box Arena. The room will be brought back together throughout the event to participate in head-to-head team activities.
About
Event Format
All teams will spend an equal amount of time inside our cool inflatable cube with the aim of completing as many showcase challenges as possible. We value the unique strengths of each participant and encourage effective communication to identify them within your team.
Making the most of everyone’s strengths becomes a key part of the team challenge; the sharpest teams will reap the rewards when nominating which team members carry out each challenge.
With a wide spectrum of challenges available, there will be something for everyone. The challenges attempted and the order in which they are completed is for your team to decide; the clock is ticking….

About
The Box
Teams will be provided with an iPad and their very own ‘beat the box’ chest containing over 50 fun-fuelled individual and group activities. This is your chance to shine and showcase your skills. The fast-paced, eclectic challenges are pre-installed onto an easy-to-use app, and teams will submit evidence of their completion to the games master, who will award points accordingly.

"Thanks – everything went very well. Great to have a big team on hand to guide everyone through the activities. Ryan kept everything under control and people in check. Only annoying thing was that the most competitive team won!"
