Ideas for smaller teams

If you have a smaller team or a party night isn’t for you, there are still ways to celebrate with colleagues or friends. 

Escape the office and get the team together at the Escape Hunt in Festival Place. You can book for 24 people across four rooms on the website. For larger numbers you’ll need to give them a call. There are also online options available for remote teams who cannot meet in person.
