What do gladiator jousting, a diamond heist, a lego movie and disco yoga have in common?

They’re all team-building experiences that can put your colleagues through their paces at The Jockey Club Venues.

And if that sounds a little more exciting than the traditional awkward icebreaker or the horror of the “trust fall” exercise, that’s exactly the point.

Because, as you might have guessed from the 14 unique settings across our award-winning, UK-wide venue collection, we don’t do one-size-fits-all here. Each team is one-of-a-kind and we want everyone in that team to feel comfortable, which is why, when it comes to team-building activities, we make sure variety is the spice of corporate life.

Whether you’re looking for something active or relaxed, competitive or collaborative, indoors or outdoors, at The Jockey Club Venues you can tailor your team-building experience to your people, your objectives and your company culture.

And with trusted team-building partners GOTO Events, Eventurous, KDM Events and Bright Vision Events on-hand, you have a choice of more than 300 activities with which to bring everyone together.

Why team-building matters

Of course, team-building isn’t just about having fun (although that’s certainly an important part of it).

A good team-building experience can help colleagues communicate, collaborate and understand each other better. It can bring together people that don’t normally work side-by-side, and give others the chance to discover their colleagues’ strengths.

Research backs this up too. Nearly 90% of respondents to the 2025 Mindful Mornings, Active Afternoons Survey viewed team-building as essential to business success, while research by Team Tactics found 65% of survey respondents believed team-building activities helped them perform better as a team. 64% also said team-building improved their understanding of colleagues’ strengths while 63% felt it helped them feel closer to those they work with.

A venue that gives you room to play

So, yes, team-building is important. And our events spaces at The Jockey Club Venues just happen to be perfect for it.

With an abundance of options across our portfolio, we’ve got the space to take team-building far beyond the confines of a meetingroom. So, indoor or outdoor – take your pick. Or perhaps a flexible mix of the two is inorder? Something that always comes in handy with our Great British weather!

Our venues are also incredibly versatile. From grandstands and outdoor terraces to executive boxes and exhibition halls, our events spaces are as eclectic as the activities you can do in them, meaning you can match the experience you want with the perfect setting, rather than having to choose your activity based on what can be accommodated in the room.

And then there’s the atmosphere.

Let’s be honest, sometimes a meeting room just won’t cut it – and nor should it for a team away day. Our racecourse locations not only provide a complete 180° to the office environment, they were literally designed to be spaces where groups can come together comfortably and have a great time.

Plus, our dedicated event teams are on-hand throughout, providing customer service as exceptional as the thrilling sporting events we’re renowned for hosting.

Of course, great team-building isn’t just about having a fantastic space. It’s about what you do with it. So, what can you do with it at The Jockey Club Venues?
