This week we were asked to deliver a Didgeridoo activity! This is something we have not been asked for in some time so it was a pleasure to reconnect with our world-class expert who travels the world performing, and also leading classes on, this amazing and most ancient instrument. The team building event saw us [Continue Reading]
Insight into the Week of a Head Facilitator
It’s been nearly two years now since I first started heading up events and six years since I started working for Creative Team Events. Over that time, I have experienced many different facilitators leading events and have witnessed a wide range of styles. I’ve been lucky to experience a dozen or more facilitators leading groups.

Avoiding Event Planning Pitfalls
I recently received an email from a friend asking for some advice about common challenges we experience in dealing with event planners. As we are dealing with enquiries from direct clients as well as from many event organisers, our office team and (eventually) our facilitators all feel the effects of good, or not so good, event [Continue Reading]
Diverse Team Building Events in a Busy Week
A busy week last week saw us deliver our first ever team building event in Rome and multiple events across the UK, and we had a surprise rock star drop in! Off the back of a conference finale we delivered last year, a client decided that they would like to replicate the event in Rome. Because [Continue Reading]
2015 Here We Come!
We hope you all had a great Christmas period and New Year and are feeling up to tackling whatever this year brings. There was no easy paced first week for us so we could get back into the swing of things. I thought that at least a couple of days would have been nice to [Continue Reading]

Just as we are getting through the last week of events of the year, I always take time to look back and remember the highlights of the year. It has been a very busy December and, just as the dust is about to settle, I think it’s important to recognise all the clients, venues, suppliers and, [Continue Reading]
Videos for Large Team Building Events
In an effort to expand the website over the coming months, we will be adding video footage to supplement the photos and text descriptions we already provide. We are – at heart – a ‘real people’ company, so it is important to us that you know who we are, recognise our faces and get a real [Continue Reading]
Last-Minute Team Building Emergencies
There has been a monumental shift in the way clients arrange team building events and source suppliers and venues. The Internet has, for better or worse, reduced the period between event enquiry and event delivery. Once upon a time, it was normal for clients to enquire about and confirm events three to six months in [Continue Reading]
Corporate Barn Dance
There is something very different about a barn dance. For some reason, people are drawn to get involved and participate on a level that they never would at a regular dance or disco. This year, we have been asked to organise many such evenings and I’m always surprised to see everyone still up on their feet [Continue Reading]
Christmas Events Reminder
Well the weather has changed. Halloween and Bonfire Night have gone and it’s just a hop and a skip to the most important party of the year – the Christmas party! Way back in July, we released a blog article with lots of ideas for Christmas parties and end-of-year events. Now that it’s only a matter [Continue Reading]
