Case Study: Charity Guitar Build Team Building That Set the Tone for the Year

How a creative, music-led team building event brought alignment, energy and collaboration to a 40-person team in South Wales

Charity Guitar Build Team Building That Set the Tone for the Year

Kicking off a new year is a powerful moment for any organisation. This South Wales based company wanted an early January team event that would energise their people, reinforce shared values and set a positive tone for the months ahead. With a team of 40 and a strong people-first culture, they were looking for something genuinely engaging, inclusive and memorable.

The Brief

The brief was clear. Following a three course lunch, where the leadership team served food to the wider group as a visible message of support and unity, they needed a team building session lasting between two and three hours. It had to encourage alignment, collaboration and creativity while still being great fun.

Team Size

10-200+
Duration

1.5hours - 2.5 hours
Room size

Dependent on group size. Tables useful.

The Solution

After exploring a number of suitable options, the team chose our Charity Guitar Build experience. It offered everything they were looking for. Creativity, collaboration, clear roles, shared goals and a strong sense of achievement, all wrapped up in a unique and exciting experience.

The group was split into four sub teams, each with a range of tasks that required different skills and strengths. One group focused on building real, fully working electric guitars. This involved practical problem solving, teamwork and attention to detail, with each member playing a vital role in the build process.

Another group took charge of branding. They created a band name, designed a logo, produced album cover artwork and even designed custom guitar plectrums. This encouraged creativity, discussion and collective decision making, while ensuring everyone had a voice.

Music and messaging were central to the experience. One team tackled a music based quiz, while another rewrote the lyrics to a famous song. The challenge was to weave company values, conference themes and key messages into the lyrics, ready for performance later in the session.

Throughout the room, the energy was high. The space became a hive of creative activity, with people fully immersed in their tasks and working together in new ways. Laughter, discussion and collaboration flowed naturally as teams supported each other and worked towards a shared outcome.

At the end of the session, everyone came back together. The guitars were scored, the quiz was marked and each team performed their newly written song. Winners were voted for and prizes awarded, but the real success was the shared sense of achievement and connection across the whole group.

The Outcome

The impact of the session was summed up perfectly in their five star Trustpilot review:

“Excellent guitar building session. The team enjoyed and we saw good participation with everyone throwing themselves in. There was something for everyone to get stuck into and then bring it all together into a performance at the end. Thank you to Matt, Jamie & Joe who did a great job of coordinating and running the event.”

This Charity Guitar Build was more than just a team building activity. It was a statement of intent for the year ahead. Collaborative, creative, supportive and fun.

Outdoor Team Building

Outdoor Team Building

Energise Your Team and Create Lasting Connections

Outdoor Team Building: Energise Your Team and Create Lasting Connections

Outdoor team building is one of the most effective ways to energise teams, foster collaboration and create shared experiences that leave a lasting impact. Being outside in fresh air, combined with fun, music, and creative activities, helps teams connect in ways that traditional indoor sessions cannot.

At Rock and Roll Experience, all of our team building activities can be delivered outdoors, giving groups the freedom to enjoy space, movement and natural light. From creating music videos and performing choreographed dances to African drumming, Boomwhackers, beatbox sessions, harmonicas, Morris dancing and magic workshops, there is something for every team and every energy level. Teams can also explore visual creativity with outdoor art sessions, allowing colleagues to collaborate and express themselves in new ways.

Team Size

5-5,000+
Duration

5 minutes - 5 hours
Room size

Dependent on group size

Outdoor team building provides more than just fun. Activities that involve music, rhythm or creativity release endorphins, helping to lift mood and reduce stress. Shared activities also stimulate oxytocin, the hormone linked to trust and social bonding, which strengthens relationships and fosters teamwork. These physiological responses, combined with the benefits of being outdoors, help teams feel more energised, focused and engaged.

The results of outdoor team building go far beyond a single session. Teams learn to work together, communicate more effectively and support each other while enjoying an experience that is inclusive and accessible for all. Creative collaboration, problem solving and shared laughter all contribute to improved morale, a sense of achievement and stronger interpersonal connections.

Whether you are running a conference energiser, a corporate away day, or a wellbeing-focused team session, outdoor team building can be tailored to your objectives, group size and venue. It encourages participants to step outside their comfort zone, engage fully with colleagues, and bring energy and enthusiasm to the workplace.

From the exhilaration of drumming in rhythm together to the creativity of performing a music video or completing a collaborative art project, outdoor team building gives teams the opportunity to connect, have fun, and take away memories that last long after the session ends. By combining the power of music, creativity and the outdoors, Rock and Roll Experience delivers team building that truly inspires, energises and unites teams.

You can see our most popular outdoor team building events below.

The session in this video involved us surprising a team with the brief that they had one hour to design the visuals for a music video. They needed to visually represent the lyrics of a famous song using either literal or metaphorical references, as well as ideas relevant to their business. We then captured the result on film and edited it.

They threw themselves into the challenge, fully embraced the brief and had a lot of fun in the process. The session succeeded in forging deeper connections than would normally happen in a more subdued business context. Participants were able to let loose, be a little vulnerable and show a different side of their personality to their colleagues.

Not only that, but they also got to watch the finished video afterwards, creating longer-lasting positive effects within the team.

The Benefits of Going Outdoors

Holding team events outside isn’t just a refreshing change – it brings a whole new dynamic. Being in a natural setting helps people relax, feel more connected, and get into a positive mindset. Natural light, fresh air and open space can make a huge difference to how your team engages and performs.

Rock and Roll Choir – Uplifting and Effortless

Our Rock and Roll Choir is one of our most uplifting and impactful team building sessions. It’s easy to run outdoors – we simply bring a portable speaker and let the music do the magic. Singing together in a garden or courtyard surrounded by greenery not only sounds great, but it adds a sense of wellbeing to an already powerful experience.

Dance, Create and Perform – All Outdoors

Our Thriller dance team building event needs nothing more than space and a speaker, making it ideal for outdoor settings. Likewise, our Make a Music Video event is a favourite for outdoor sessions – using nature as a backdrop adds a fun, creative flair to the videos your team creates together.

Drumming and Guitar Building in the Open Air

African drumming and samba drumming sessions come to life outside – the rhythms carry beautifully in the open, and the atmosphere becomes even more energising. Our Charity Guitar Build event also works brilliantly outdoors. As long as there’s enough space for each team to spread out, it runs smoothly – and if there’s garden furniture, even better!

Creative Workshops That Thrive Outdoors

Our Caricature and Magic Workshops are also a great fit for outdoor venues. A relaxed, inspiring environment helps participants unleash their creativity and have a laugh together in a more informal setting.

Perfect for Festival-Themed Events

If you’re planning a festival-themed event, our music-based team building activities are a perfect fit. Whether it’s live drumming, choirs, or music video production, our sessions naturally blend into a festival atmosphere. They provide not just entertainment, but meaningful interaction and fun, in a way that enhances the vibe of any festival-style event.

Belfast
Team
Building

Our corporate team building events offer something truly unique. We don’t want participants to groan at the thought of yet another tired, cliched activity. We are here to provide a refreshing alternative to traditional corporate team building.

Our approach encourages delegates to step just outside their comfort zones, collaborate creatively, and experience something special they might not have thought possible. In a Belfast team building setting, this means fostering collaboration and trust, as participants work together to accomplish what might initially seem impossible.

The ultimate result is a shared experience that unveils new dimensions of each individual, strengthening relationships and forming lasting bonds that extend well beyond the event itself.

“We used The Rock and Roll Experience for a team building event for our office of 40 people. We were quite hesitant about whether people would enjoy this activity, but it completely surpassed all expectations – every single person in our office LOVED it and everyone has been talking about it non-stop since! Josh, Dan and Matt were brilliant and so entertaining, they knew exactly how to make everyone feel comfortable, relaxed and have fun. Definitely recommend The Rock and Roll Experience!.” Louise Porat Spinmaster Toys

Why Are Team Events Important To Business Success?

Increases Employee Engagement and Retention:

Research shows that companies with highly engaged teams outperform their competitors in productivity, profitability, and employee retention. Team building activities boost employee engagement by fostering stronger relationships, enhancing trust, and improving job satisfaction, which directly impacts retention rates and reduces turnover costs.

Improves Team Performance and Productivity:

A study published in Personnel Psychology found that team-building exercises positively impact both individual and team performance by improving collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. Teams that engage in structured team-building activities report higher productivity levels and better outcomes, making the investment in these activities yield measurable financial returns.

Reduces Conflict and Increases Collaboration:

According to research in the International Journal of Conflict Management, team-building initiatives significantly reduce interpersonal conflicts and encourage more effective collaboration. Teams that experience fewer conflicts and work better together are more efficient, leading to cost savings and higher overall organisational performance.

Amazing Belfast Conference Energisers

Conference energisers are a crucial aspect to factor in when planning your conference in Belfast. If your delegates are mentally fatigued, their overall experience will be negative, they will retain less information and the entire event becomes less successful.

A conference energiser gives physical and mental benefits to get the blood pumping, the endorphins flowing and laughter to erupt.

Our conference energisers get your delegates working together creatively, just outside of their comfort zone. They pull together in a level playing field to create a performance, a moment, an experience that they don’t get to feel anywhere else. And importantly they share it with it each other. That is powerful.

“The Rock & Roll Experience is an organisation that you NEED at your event, no matter how big or small. I recently booked the Rock & Roll Choir experience and it really was a phenomenal experience. Within 10 minutes, our delegates were completely engaged and we hadn’t even started to sing. To bring groups together, informally or on a corporate level, this was one stunning approach. By the end of 45 minutes, we were singing together as instructed in such a harmonious manner and having so much fun. Highly recommend.” Becky Farnworth OTD

We can run our Belfast conference energisers anywhere, get going in seconds and leave the room in seconds. They need very little equipment and they’re suitable for any group size and any duration from 10 minutes up to an 2 hours.
