Team Building Activities for 2026 | Roberts Travel Group

Team Building Activities to Add to Your Calendar for 2026

Planning ahead for 2026? Whether you’re organising a small department day out or a full company-wide event, the right team building activities can boost morale, strengthen collaboration, and create lasting memories. And with professional coach hire from Roberts Travel Group, you can make sure every experience starts and ends on a smooth note.

Below, we’ve shared ideas by season, along with budget tiers and planning tips to help you lock in dates early, avoid clashes, and keep your event stress-free from start to finish.

Spring: Reconnect and Refresh

Low Cost: Local guided walks, countryside rambles, or volunteer gardening days.

• Ideal for encouraging connection and wellness after winter.

Mid Range: Escape rooms, chocolate making, or cultural workshops in nearby cities.

Premium: Overnight countryside retreats with structured wellbeing or coaching sessions.

Transport Tip: Spring often brings unpredictable weather. Coach hire for team building days means everyone stays dry and arrives together. Plan multiple pickup points for regional teams.

Summer: Outdoor Fun and Team Spirit

Low Cost: Picnic in the park, beach day, or sports day-style office Olympics.

Mid Range: Water-based activities like paddleboarding or dragon boat racing.

Premium: Exclusive hire of an outdoor activity centre or countryside glamping experience.

Accessibility Note: Choose venues with shaded rest areas and step-free access to ensure everyone can participate.

Transport Checklist:

• Confirm timings with venues in advance
• Share clear pickup points with all attendees
• Have a designated coordinator on each coach

Winter: Celebrate and Close the Year
