Corporate Family Fun Days
Corporate
Family Fun Days
Creating an inclusive family fun day that’s
remembered for all the right reasons takes a
lot of planning but is one of the most rewarding
ways for an organisation to bring everyone
together. The day can be about recognising
the support a family provides an employee
throughout the year or rewarding employees
for their dedication. Perhaps the occasion is
to incentivise teams or celebrate an award;
whatever the reasons are a corporate family fun
day should ideally be low on company speeches
and high on entertainment.
27

Before deciding on the venue to host your family
fun day, you’ll need to have an idea of how you
see the day; will it have a theme? Are you going for
fairground attractions and big top entertainment or
is it a picnic in the park, a mad hatter’s tea party or a
mini summer festival to rival Lattitude?
With young children in attendance don’t forget
they’ll need entertaining. Different zones work well;
an animal petting zone, face painting and arts and
crafts zone, and a magic and balloon modelling
zone are just a few suggestions. You may want to
include a quiet area for children too.
For older children, hold circus skills workshops,
laser clay shooting and duck herding. An outdoor
cinema showing classic films or movies to match
your theme, giant board games and sumo wrestling
are fun options too.
Add in ice-cream bikes, candy carts and coffee huts,
portaloos and first-aiders and your family fun day is
taking form.
28

Corporate Family Fun Days
For entertaining the adults, you could have team
sports in the style of It’s a Knockout or human table
football. Individual games like kangaroo boxing and
foot golf are always enjoyable and are certain to
generate lots of laughter from participants as well as
bystanders. Zorbing, segway races, table tennis are
more suggestions and if you want something that
brings adults and children together, you can’t go
wrong with a game or two of rounders.
The options for catering are vast; BBQs and hog
roasts, street food and bowl food, afternoon tea
and picnics are perfect for a summer family fun
day. Pizzas, chilli and nachos, kebabs and a smoke
house grill are other possibilities. If you’ve given
your day a nautical feel, fish and chips must be on
the menu and if the circus big top is your theme,
candy floss, popcorn and toffee apples will need to
make an appearance!
And now all that’s left is the obligatory bouncy
castles and a plan b in case of rain!
29

The home of the Scout movement certainly brings
kudos to a corporate family fun day. Gilwell Park
is set deep in Epping Forest but is only 15 miles
from central London. The stunning Georgian White
House is the centre-piece of the estate, providing an
elegant welcome to delegates, families and special
guests. With nine function rooms and a marquee,
plus over 100 acres of grounds, there is certainly
plenty of scope for creating a memorable day
without a big budget.
Home to over 30 on-site activities from archery
and abseiling to zip wires and a 3G swing, the
on-site events team at Gilwell Park will work with
you to incorporate their facilities into your day.
They have a really flexible attitude so they are more
than happy to add in your ideas allowing you to
shape, design and scale your event exactly to your
needs. With over 30 years of experience, the team
at Gilwell know what works well so certainly use
their knowledge to guide you. And if you’re using

be excited to have so much beautiful countryside at
their disposal.
Good to know: Gillwell Park has free on-site
parking for up to 200 vehicles, disabled facilities

reason for picking Gillwell.

A Day in the Life of...
Lauren
Hewett
Stadium Sports Manager at Allianz Park
Lauren Hewett is the Stadium Sports Manager at
Allianz Park and looks after the day-to-day running
of all the community sports held at the stadium in
addition to organising match days for the Saracens
teams and specific sports events.
She took time out from her busy schedule to
tell us more about her exciting role.

A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life
Tell us more about your role at Allianz Park.
Day to day, my job is to deliver all community
sports in the stadium so school rugby and sports
days, athletics meets, dance classes, cricket and
fun runs. In addition, I run match days for the
wider Saracens teams – Saracens Women and
Men’s Storm games – both of which just won their
respective leagues which is great news.
I also work with the RFU (Rugby Football Union) to
deliver England Women’s International games and
schools’ semi-finals. In addition to the NFL (National
Football League) whose teams train here at the
stadium in the lead up to their games held at Wembley.
Another big focus is Maccabi GB, the largest
nationwide provider of sport, health and wellbeing
activities for the UK’s Jewish community. They host
one of their largest events at Allianz Park every June.
And then there are the private clients who want to
host their own sports events, tournaments or socials,
so there’s quite a mix and no day is the same!
What do you do when you first arrive at work?
I like getting into the office early so I can do a walk
around of the site to make sure all equipment is
ready and setup for the day. Then I make a cup
of tea, chat to my team and run through those
first emails of the day just in case there are any
last-minute changes that I need to be aware of.

Why should organisers chose Allianz Park to
host their event?
The great thing about Allianz Park is the space
and versatility of the site; we really can cater for
events of all shapes and sizes. Take for example
our Olympic Bar. This can be transformed from a
track with long jump, high jump and pole vault,
to a boxing arena, purpose-built gym, netball
courts, an inflatable obstacle course or public
bar for an event with a stage and film crew. The
possibilities are really endless. I also really enjoy
a challenge so am always looking for new and
different events to bring to the Stadium!
Do you have a favourite part of your role?
I love the variety that my role offers; no two
bookings are the same and it’s very rewarding
working together with my team and clients to pull
off a successful event.
What challenges do you face?
I think in any events role there aren’t enough
hours in the day to get everything done! But
also, not enough days and weekends in the
year to book in events! Over the winter we have
rugby almost every weekend, and then in the
summer we have a full calendar of sports days
and athletics meets so trying to book in new
clients and finding availability can be tricky!
46

A Day in the Life
What do you do to relax?
I play a lot of tennis so you can usually find me
playing with friends on the weekends, or maybe
practising some yoga. I would love to be able to
do a headstand but I am still a long way off!
Thanks Lauren.
Allianz Park is also a superb choice of venue
for meetings and conferences, corporate
celebrations, weddings and Simchas. The venue
boasts a brand new Kosher kitchen that’s licensed
by the London Beth Din, has ample free parking
and can host events for up to 2,000 people. It is
located barely 300 metres from Junction 2 of the
M1, 12 minutes from the M25 and seven minutes
from Brent Cross shopping centre, with easy
access to major arterial roads such as the A1, A41
and the North Circular Road.
Day delegate rates start from £35.
