De Vere Wokefield Estate

3 course dinner

Experience the fun and laughter of a traditional School Sports Day by participating in a lighthearted recreation of those carefree days of school life.

A pair of trainers and suitable sports clothing is all that’s needed as we take your guests back in time for a second chance to be top of the class! We organise the entire day, taking teams safely through their paces, in a series of fun school races and games. 

The sack race is just a snippet of this highly entertaining event - a little effort may be required on some of the activities, but they will not be too physically demanding! 

Our School Sports activity is a unique event designed to motivate and drive team spirit in a simple and often hilarious session of school day fun. At the end of the event there is a winners’ medals presentation ceremony complete with podium! 

The Races

The races are simple, interesting and fun and will require both strategy and action. After a safety briefing, introduction and gentle warm up by our Event Manager it’s on with the competition! 

Time : Around 1h45

Out of Office Olympics will energise and motivate guests to work together in a fun and entertaining environment. This is truly a day to remember with plenty of amusement along the way! A highly visual and entertaining team building activity, with the emphasis very much on participation, interaction and laughter. 

Once divided into teams, the event commences with everyone participating in a lively aerobic warm up session, delivered by our experienced event manager, who will get the teams raring to go! Our challenges have been carefully and imaginatively designed to enable full participation by everyone, regardless of sporting and fitness levels. Each team competes head-to-head against another team on each activity, aiming to maximise their score before moving onto the next game. 

Time : Around 2h15

This activity is a highly collaborative activity, which can play a crucial role in any Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.

Guests will learn about energy poverty and the effects it has on people around the world. After receiving a powerful presentation, each participant will assemble a solar light (a SolarBuddy) and connect with a child living in energy poverty via a letter-writing activity, which will be packaged as a gift with the light. A single SolarBuddy light helps FIVE people with its educational, economic, health and environmental benefits. 

At the end of this session, the solar lights are returned to SolarBuddy for quality assurance before their journey to a distribution country – our in-country partner distributes the gift of light into the hands of children living in energy poverty. A single SolarBuddy light can: 

• Enable a child to study 78% longer - improving their education
• Increase the overall health of women and children by 60% - by reducing reliance on toxic fuels 
• Reduce a family’s average weekly expenditure on kerosene by 80% 
• Offset 1.28 tonnes of CO2 over 10 years

Time : 2h00

Our Diamond Labyrinth event requires mental skill and physical ability as teams compete to earn as many time diamonds as possible to make your team a winner in our giant inflatable dome!

After entering the labyrinth, teams will be presented with a series of challenges throughout four specially themed zones. It’s all about time! 

You are up against the clock to complete each challenge, which in turn will earn you time in the infamous giant inflatable dome. 

Teams are required to complete a series of activities in four themed zones - Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Futuristic - as you make your way through the labyrinth. Entrances to the four zones are framed with giant banners and themed bunting. 

Time : Around 2h00

Escape the Crime is a unique escape room game. With each team accused of committing a gangland murder and only one opportunity to crack the clues and codes to identify the actual murderer, will you be able to exonerate your team? 

The crime scene has been untouched for 3 months and the police have called YOU in to attempt to clear your name! A hugely immersive activity that will keep guests fully absorbed as they race towards piecing together the details of the whodunit. 

Once they duck under the crime scene tape each team is provided with a locked briefcase containing dossiers on their “persons of interest”. By discovering the solution to each piece of evidence, you will unlock another and move one step closer to solving the puzzle – however there are several layers of problem solving, discussion and debate, with a few red herrings thrown in for good measure.

As you work your way through the tasks and challenges to eliminate potential victims and perpetrators, the clock ticks on and the pressure builds, but don’t panic…each team can cash in a ‘life’ for a clue if totally stuck.

Time : 1h30

Missing Link underlines the importance placed on groups, working both as separate units and all together as one team. The event builds up to a grand final where individual elements are all brought together, and the teams unite to achieve a common goal!

As the teams interpret their briefs, they will soon realise that they must communicate and cooperate with, rather than compete against the other teams in order to build their module. The module will then interconnect with that of the others to create the ‘Missing Link’.

Machine modules are allocated to each team as they endeavour to correctly build their section of the mysterious ‘Missing Link’ machine. Only when each section is correctly assembled and linked together can the machine be tested and the team achieves success!  

It is tense but above all it proves that working together can be lots of fun and very rewarding.
