TEAM BUILDING EVENTS

Stuck for an innovative Team Building Activity or Away Day that actually delivers?

We get it.  You’ve done strategy sessions, personality quizzes, and maybe even a party or two. Some people loved them, some… didn’t. And most teams? The outcomes fade fast.

​

BARDO away-days are different — they’re team development in context. Teams need growth mindsets, but thinking can get stuck, limited by years of embedded norms, inaction, and fear. We design experiences grounded in neuroscience research on how the brain learns and grows, combining challenge, curiosity, and collaboration. And we do it all while having fun — because enjoyment accelerates engagement, creativity, and lasting behavioural change. The result? Teams cultivate inclusion, agile thinking, ambition, collaboration, and possibility — unlocking new ways of working together.

 

Choose your adventure:

1) We come to you – immersive workshops for teams of 15+
2) You come to us at BARDO Barn – a collaborative, creative, and unforgettable experience for teams up to 15.

​

No lectures. No boxes to tick. Just inclusion, connection, and teamwork built into every challenge and story. Teams leave energised, engaged, and ready to collaborate in ways that last.

​

Curiosity sparked. Connections strengthened. Development delivered in context. Teamwork transformed. That’s a BARDO away-day.​

The BARDO Barn

At BARDO Barn, teams step out of routine and into immersive challenges that reveal real behaviour, strengthen trust, and build collaboration through shared experience, insight, and growth. There are two types of away days available, both of which offer creative learning woven through 2 acres of green space.

I'm at Work:
Get Me Outta Here!

Inspired by I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Outta Here, this away day challenges teams to earn tokens through fun, high-impact tasks that build growth, agility, and collaboration. Including: duck herding and agility.

Coming in 2027

The Case of:
The Missing

A murder mystery adventure meets team survival. Teams investigate and solve a murder, whilst completing challenges based on the blunders of the brain. Including: trust exercises and scavenger hunts.

IMMERSIVE WORKSHOPS

The immersive workshops below can be delivered as ready-to-go programmes or tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. We can also adjust delivery and level of customization to suit a wide range of budgets.

Team Taking Selfie

Escape Room Challenge

Step inside Escape the Bias. Solve puzzles, uncover hidden stories, and reveal the subtle biases and microaggressions shaping your workplace. Only by piecing together the missing colleague’s journey can your team escape — and see inclusion in a whole new way.

Murder Mystery

Step into Case File 27: The Midnight Altercation. Investigate a mysterious death, uncover hidden identities, challenge assumptions, and expose the silent patterns that undermine teams. High-stakes, immersive, and gripping — your culture will never look the same again.

The Mind Heist

Step inside the subconscious to identify bias loops, behaviour patterns, archetypes, and trust gaps. Cinematic, clever, and intellectually stimulating — your teams will learn how habits, shortcuts, and assumptions shape decisions, and how to redesign for fairness and inclusion.

The Inclusion Island

Survive, collaborate, and rebuild culture on a mysterious island. Playful, strategic, and highly interactive — perfect for uncovering hidden power dynamics, fostering empathy, and embedding belonging across teams.

The Neuro Bazaar

A lively, interactive marketplace of perspectives where every decision, trade, and conversation reveals hidden bias and power dynamics. Social, strategic, and highly practical — teams leave with tools for inclusive negotiation, collaboration, and decision-making.

Bandersnatch: The Choice Lab

Step into a story that changes based on the decisions your team makes. Every choice — big or small — has consequences that reveal hidden biases, assumptions, and systemic inequities. Cinematic, interactive, and deeply reflective, this workshop lets teams explore cause and effect in inclusion, practice ethical decision-making, and learn how small behaviours ripple through organisational culture.
