• A dance troupe to wow your guests.
• Hire a cast of actors to portray a murder mystery plot that your colleagues can try to work out.
• Hire a hypnotherapist for some fun and light-hearted hypnotism.
• Hire circus acts like stilt-walkers, jugglers and fire-eaters to add flare and excitement to the event.

Activities and experiences

You can also hold a number of activities and experiences across our range of function spaces:

Games

• Set up a giant Jenga or Connect Four game for some team-building fun.
• A giant inflatable obstacle course with a rugby theme.
• An arcade area with classic games such as air hockey, foosball, and pinball machines.
• Rugby-themed games such as scrum machine challenges, tackle bags, and speed-pass competitions.
• Host a casino night complete with blackjack tables, roulette wheels and third-party croupiers.
• Put your colleagues through some (externally-sourced) escape rooms.
• A game of bingo - bringing your own prizes means you can tailor it to your company (and budget).
• Matchmaking games to get people speaking to others in different departments or branches; give everybody a card that matches with another, and when they find their partner they can claim a prize - even if it's just something silly or small.

Get on stage

• Host a karaoke night with team members singing their favourite songs.
• Host a talent show where team members can showcase their hidden talents, including acting, musical instruments, storytelling, impersonations and more.
• Host an awards night for your team with awards ranging from "Most sales this quarter" to "Most likely to go on reality TV"
• Hold a raffle with prizes donated by the company - go the extra mile by donating proceeds to charity.

Experiences

• A photo booth with rugby-themed props such as foam fingers, hats, and balls.
• Invite a mobile petting zoo to bring in animals like snakes, tarantulas and chameleons.
• Host a themed party, such as a 1950s prom, movie star night or a Great Gatsby-inspired gala event.
• Have a blind-tasting station where guests try to guess what food or drink they've just eaten or drank. This is great if your event is geared towards a specific culture as you can have guests sample food and drink from that country.
• A graffiti wall where guests can showcase their artistic skills and paint rugby-themed murals.
• A silent disco where guests can dance to music with wireless headphones.
• A rugby-themed quiz with questions about the sport's history, rules and players.
• Host an art exhibition.
• Premiere a film for your business contacts in our own auditorium, the Live Room.

Exploring

• A private tour of the stadium with a knowledgeable guide who can share the history of the venue and its role in rugby.
• A scavenger hunt around the stadium with clues that lead to hidden rugby-related items.
