#ExpertTips - Team Building Events at Twickenham

Here at Twickenham one of the RFU's five core values is 'Teamwork' and we believe the way to succeed is by working together responsibly. This is the reason behind the close relationship we've built with some outstanding team-building companies, to provide the very best team-activities in all areas of our famous grounds.

For event planners, we understand that the broad range of activities available may be daunting. That is why this week we have caught-up with our resident team-building expert, Tara Fenner, to discuss her personal favourite Twickenham team-building events, and the areas of the stadium that are best suited to hosting them.

The Haka

As the Home of England Rugby, and the largest dedicated rugby stadium in the world, it is no surprise that a popular team event at Twickenham is synonymous with the sport that we are known for. Haka performances at Twickenham are a fantastic culture-rich spectacle for teams to witness, as well as a fun, enriching experience for teams to learn and perform themselves along with the Haka tribesmen.

Perfect Event Space: Pitch-Side

You cannot beat the experience of watching and participating as a team in a Haka performance besides the famous Twickenham pitch. The England Changing Room and Players Tunnel are additionally available to further enhance the ultimate rugby experience while at the stadium.

Pub Olympics

Pub Olympics is a varied, lively set of games that suits both indoor and outdoor event spaces, making it a popular team event in the summer. The games allow team members to show off their skills and even discover hidden talents by splitting teams into smaller groups for head-to-head classic, and some not so classic pub games, with the winning team crowned 'pub champions' in a closing awards ceremony.

Perfect Event Space: Union Ale House

Twickenham's very own pub is of course the ideal location to host the Pub Olympics, as well as the perfect location for post-games, celebration drinks.

Mega Mix Fun Day

Mega Mix Fun Day encourages team collaboration and competition by splitting teams into smaller groups for a fantastic range of fun interactive sports challenges, including giant hamster wheels, tug of war, bungee runs and much more! This is a fantastic summer team-building event, perfect to combine with post-event team drinks and food in the sun to celebrate.

Perfect Event Space: The Patch

Mega Mix Fun Day lends itself perfectly to warm, summer months, making The Patch the perfect location to catch some rays while enjoying the games.

GPS iPad Treasure Hunt

For an event to put your team to the test mentally, look no further than the GPS iPad Treasure Hunt. Teams will set off with preloaded tablets, aiming to navigate to their chosen location around the selected famous grounds of the stadium, with points awarded for successfully completed tasks along the way, and a live scoreboard to keep teams on their toes.

Perfect Event Space: Anywhere!

The nature of the challenge, and Twickenham's broad, diverse grounds make this an ideal exercise to suit all indoor and outdoor event spaces.

Quintessential

If you're looking for a quintessentially British activity for your team, look no further! This is the perfect team-building activity for those searching on a budget, but one that is still guaranteed to bring the team together with a variety of fun, engaging games. Badminton, skittles, croquet, three-legged races and many more quintessential British games make up a classic, 'throwback' style team-building day.

Perfect Event Space: The Patch

This is a perfect summer event day to combine with team drinks and a BBQ in the sun, while enjoying a backdrop of the famous stadium. Therefore, The Patch lends itself perfectly to the occasion.
