Corporate festivals are a great way to bring employees and clients together for a day or two of fun, relaxation, and team building. There are many different types of venues that can be used to host a corporate festival, and choosing the right one can help to create a memorable experience.
In this blog post, we will explore some of our most favourite and different types of venues that are ideal for hosting a corporate festival:
Go Enchanting and Stately
Running a festival in an historical venue offers a unique and enchanting atmosphere that is unlike any other. We recently hosted festivals at Belvoir Castle and Syon Park, both notable for the their on screen appearances (namely the Great British Bake Off, Disney's Nutcracker and Netflix’s The Crown). These were perfect locations for our clients who were celebrating their year's successes. Their rich history and stunning architecture provided a picturesque settings for the festival, creating memorable experiences for attendees. The sense of tradition and timelessness that historical venues offer add a special touch to the festival, evoking a sense of magic and wonder. In addition, the venues' well-manicured grounds and beautiful gardens created the perfect backdrop for performances and outdoor activities, (did someone say flower crowns?). Hosting a festival in an historical venue is an excellent opportunity to create a truly unforgettable event that both attendees will cherish for years to come.
Go Off the Beaten Track
By choosing an unconventional venue, you can add an element of surprise and excitement to your event, and help to create a truly memorable experience for your guests. With careful planning and attention to detail, your wild card event is sure to be a success! We transported our clients to Osea Island for their Summer festival. Arriving by boat the little island just off of the shores of Essex proved to be a fantastic escape and adventure! Osea Island, is a beautiful unique private island (often frequented by stars and celebrities), ideal for a corporate retreat. Its stunning scenery, green spaces, gorgeous beaches, and comfortable accommodation offer the perfect opportunity to host an Ibiza style party, with garden games, outdoor activities, colourful lighting and decor with an evening around a bonfire overlooking the sea.
Go Woodland Wilderness
Embrace the outdoors with a festival in a woodland setting. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, with the canopy of trees overhead, your guests will be able to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy a day of relaxation and fun in the wilderness. To add to the experience, you can include country pursuits activities such as archery, clay pigeon shooting, and falconry. And for a touch of sophistication, a posh Prosecco picnic, with elegant pop-up drinks bars and artisan cocktail stations scattered throughout the woodland. Extend the party into the evening - a woodland festival takes on a whole new level of magic and enchantment. With lights strung up in trees, colourful stage set, music and entertainment, a forest festival can be transformed into a twinkling wonderland - a unique and enjoyable experience, surrounded by the magic of wilderness and the luxury of fine food, drinks and entertainment.
Go Overnight!
Why not bring a touch of luxury and first class experience to round up your event with some pop up accommodation. Options range from glamping under the stars in bell tents to your very own pop up boutique Yurt village.
In conclusion, there are many different types of venues that can be used to host a corporate festival, each offering its own unique benefits and experiences. Whether you choose a historical venue, an island off of Essex, a forest location, or a pop-up yurt village, your corporate festival is sure to be a success.
