A summer party is a fantastic way to celebrate your employees’ hard work over the first half of the year and a perfect opportunity for teams to bond outside the workplace.
If you’re looking for inspiration, here are 7 fun and memorable ideas to help you plan the ultimate corporate summer bash:
- A sizzling summer BBQ
The way to many people’s hearts is through food, so why not host a big company BBQ? All you need is access to a spacious outdoor area, a BBQ setup, plenty of food and drinks, and (fingers crossed) some good weather.
When planning an outdoor event, it’s wise to provide shaded areas for your guests. Our saddlespan tents are available in a variety of configurations, allowing you to tailor the tent to your event. Take a look at our event tent range here.
- Fun at the fair
Looking for something more exhilarating? A funfair-themed party could be just the ticket. Think Ferris wheels, drop towers, and classic bumper cars.
Add to the excitement with fairground food like hot dogs, popcorn, and cotton candy. To take it up a notch, hire entertainers such as clowns, magicians, or acrobats to wow the crowd.
- A traditional sports day
Bring out everyone’s competitive side with a classic sports day. Organise events like the egg-and-spoon race, tug-of-war, or even wellie wanging.
Split your colleagues into teams and let the games begin, winner takes the trophy!
- Garden tea party
Celebrate the summer with an elegant English garden tea party. Whether you opt for charming picnic setups or a formal sit-down tea, your guests will appreciate the laid-back, sophisticated vibe.
If the weather takes a turn, don’t worry, our saddlespan tents can be transformed into a tea party that even the Mad Hatter would envy, all while keeping guests dry and comfortable.
- Summer charity auction
Why not do something meaningful with your summer event? Host a charity auction featuring luxury hampers, jewellery, weekend getaways, or even a “rent-a-colleague” for a day.
It’s a fun and engaging way for your team to give back while raising money for a good cause.
- A tropical Hawaiian Luau
Get into the spirit of summer with a themed party – like a Hawaiian Luau! Go all out with tropical music, hula dancing, and Hawaiian cuisine.
Don’t forget the floral shirts and fruity cocktails to complete the experience.
- Great British bake-off competition
Challenge your team to channel their inner star baker! Whether it’s a cake shaped like a horse, or the Leaning Tower of Pisa recreated in biscuits, this is a fun and creative way for all the team to get involved.
For the extra wow-factor, consider inviting a local or even a celebrity chef to host and judge the competition.
We hope these ideas help spark your inspiration for your next corporate summer party. With a bit of planning and creativity, you’ll create an event your colleagues will be talking about for months to come!
