“We Don’t Want It to Feel Corporate.”
That’s something we hear almost every time a company enquires about a summer party.
They don’t want awkward icebreakers.
They don’t want a hotel ballroom with warm prosecco.
They don’t want something that feels like a tick-box HR exercise.
They want atmosphere.
They want energy.
They want their team to actually enjoy themselves.
When people search for “corporate summer party ideas UK,” what they’re really asking is:
