Event overview video

“It wasn’t just creating a choir, the energy and the way in which you engaged with the crowd was brilliant. Even on the toughest of days, you all managed to get most of them involved! I absolutely loved it every day! I only wish we had more than 45 mins!!”

Rebecca Nicholson

Planning team building

How to plan a team building event

Check out our top tips on how to plan a team building event to remember.

Some of the companies that have experienced our corporate events

Making Sure You Create The Best Event For Your Company

In many cases, the person tasked with researching, booking and planning team building events has no prior experience or knowledge and the task can seem daunting.

There are many options out there and achieving just the right balance to meet all the criteria isn’t easy. To help you do this, it is essential to use professional and experienced team building events organisers to help you through the process.

Fun team building activities

Posted on 3 December 2018 by Social Media Manager

Fun team building activities do exist!

In fact we are so convinced by the statement “fun team building” that we have created a whole company around it.

If we asked you to sum up your past experience of corporate team building events, do you recall them with fondness? Possibly not.

In fact many clients that we work with tell us horror stories of past experiences that were dull, uninspiring and considered a waste of time by everybody involved. And as a result they were anxious about booking the next one because they didn’t want their colleagues aiming more displeasure at them!

Many of us have been forced to spend hours participating in mind numbing activities which often fail to build stronger relationships with our colleagues. In fact they often spread frustration because we know that inbox is filling up, the ‘to do’ list is not being chipped away at and we’re wasting time being bored without seeing any real benefit.

Fun Team building

Consequently, team building activities are often met with scepticism and are frequently stereotyped as being cringy, dull, clichéd and out of date.

But fear not, the Rock & Roll Experience is here to help. And we specialise in fun team building events!

We take the time to listen to our customers to find out exactly what they want the event to achieve. Are they looking for riotous fun to reward their team? Are they trying to reinforce a key message? Whatever it is, we listen to that and work with them to incorporate it and build our event around it.

We find that every organisation has a different need and requirement. Every client knows what makes their guys and girls tick. Every work group thrives on different things. At the Rock and Roll Experience our events coordinators always ensure that they establish the company’s needs and tailor each event to meet that requirement. We always ask our customers what their goals are and what they wish to achieve and take away from our events.

“Seems we will be calling on you again real soon. The fact we want to use you again says it all!!” Claire Chilton – GE Aviation

But the thing is, whether people just want a riotous jaunt or have a serious element that needs reinforcing, we will still have huge fun and create memories that will be remembered long into the future. All our events are music based and create a great experience. We don’t just run a session that you can be a part of. It’s a proper rock and roll experience. And who doesn’t like a bit of rock and roll in their life?

Our friendly and personal approach enables us to work closely with our clients to ensure that we deliver an engaging, unforgettable and fun team building experience that really connects you to your team and drives the workforce in a positive way to promote team work and unity in your workplace. Weather you are looking for just a few hours, half a day or a whole day, the Rock and Roll experience can cater for any need.

Why Team Building is So Important

Posted on 26 November 201829 November 2018 by Social Media Manager

Why Team building is so important and how it can help your business

A lot of employees wonder why team building is so important and as an employer you will always be trying to find new ways to help your staff work more efficiently. Team building events are a great way to bring people together outside their usual working environment.

So what are the classic team building events and why do employers pick certain activities? But even more importantly, how do you prepare for one so that you put on a good performance for your staff? Most employers see team building events as a way to improve working relationships between members of their teams and as a positive step to improving employee motivation. But they need to make sure they pick the right event to ensure their staff enjoy participating in the activity and that it has a positive effect on the workforce. This is why team building is so important.

Sometimes these events can involve physical exercises such as abseiling down mountains or canoeing through rapids. These are all great fun but you need to make sure everyone within the company will be up for participating in such an active event that could be out of their fitness level and comfort zone. Other times you may choose more mental challenges such as completing projects against time and scoring points with quiz’s. This is more suited to everyone’s capabilities but some may feel its not as exciting and less memorable. These days the list of options is endless and it can be challenging just trying to decide what to go for. This is why you need to research it first and even have a chat with an event company.

The most common activity and most unplanned is an evening of drinks at a local bar or going out for a meal after work. You may not see this as a team-building exercise, but your employers don’t just put money behind the bar for nothing. They’re hoping that you’ll use the opportunity to get to know each other so you can work together as a more cohesive unit. Whilst this can have a positive effect, it is often not as successful as a planned event where people are forced to work as a team to achieve a goal together. Having a few drinks or grabbing a pizza once a month can be great for some social time away from the office but in reality it is not as successful in helping your colleagues achieve more professionally.

When choosing a team building activity you are trying to pick an event that consists of these basic points.

– Engaging
– Encourages leadership
– Involves problem solving
– Shows staff confidence
– Shows determination
– Uses brainpower
– Shows your employee’s personalities

Be Bold

When picking a team building event why not go for something completely different? Something that will excite your staff and bring everyone together to create something memorable. At work, there is a hierarchy which we have to conform to but on a team building day, if run properly, everybody is equal and having fun.

Team building activities are often met with scepticism and are frequently stereotyped as being cringy, dull, clichéd and out of date. But fear not, the Rock & Roll Experience is here to help. And we specialise in fun team building events!

We find that every organisation has a different need and requirement. Every client knows what makes their guys and girls tick. Every work group thrives on different things. At the Rock and Roll Experience our event coordinators always ensure that they establish the company’s needs and tailor each event to meet that requirement. We always ask our customers what their goals are and what they wish to achieve and take away from our events.

Team Development Programmes

Posted on 8 October 20188 October 2018 by Social Media Manager

Fresh team building ice breakers for your next event

team building programmes, team building ideas, conference energiser

If you are searching for team development programmes then you’re in the right place. We understand the struggle when looking to create team development programmes without pulling out the old cliched ideas or boring people to death with uninspiring team building activities.

In fact that is why we created the Rock and Roll Experience because we understood the power of music to be inspiring, motivational, fun, engaging and highly effective at demonstrating what can be achieved when a group really works as a team.

“I loved how different it was from anything we’ve done before or anything that’s available elsewhere. I liked working with your booking team on building the event and found the whole process really easy. You guys took any pressure away and delivered a fabulous event on the night.” Amy Moore – RSA Group

In fact we know that nothing does the job better and we never get bored of witnessing that transformation when a group has come to one of our team development programmes without any musical ability and we see them full of doubts when they see the challenge ahead. But with expert facilitation we get them on board and watch them gradually discover how to really pull together until at the end they reach the musical outcome and feel the overwhelming buzz of that achievement.

Our team development programmes offering is stronger than ever with event options that are unique so you can avoid people feeling like they’ve experienced it before. They also have scope for us to tailor them to your event so we can incorporate any key messages or themes so the whole day feels consistent and ties together seamlessly. And of course they will get your delegates pumped up, energised, buzzing and in a moment where they have achieved something special as a group to create a shared positive experience.

This will make your overall event much more effective and optimise the whole effort.

We can deliver these in a time frame to suit you whether it’s a speedy 30 minute ice breaker or a six hour team building session. We can come in half way through the day to re-energise the group or deliver the session at the end to top it all off on a high and leave people buzzing and talking to each other about their shared experience.

These events have been enjoyed by big names such as:

Tiffany & Co.
KFC
Sainsbury’s
Boots
Asda
Ikea
RSA Group
Pfizer
Shell
Dairy Crest
GE Aviation
And many more…..

team building, corporate events, musc events Our popular team development programmes include:

The Rock and Roll Choir Experience

“It wasn’t just creating a choir, the energy and the way in which you engaged with the crowd was brilliant. Even on the toughest of days, you all managed to get most of them involved! I absolutely loved it every day! I only wish we had more than 45 mins!!” Rebecca Nicholson – Retail Support Manager UK & Ireland -Tiffany & Co.

Our vocal coaches teach your delegates the harmonies for a famous rock song. We have scope to tailor the lyrics to your event and we have the pick of hundreds of songs so we can choose something relevant to your company or corporate message. Even the most reluctant singers get stuck in and enjoy the uplifting feeling when our expert facilitators have warmed them into it.

The Thriller Dance Experience

“I don’t want to lose the moment of praise so before I sign off for the weekend I wanted to say thank you. You took a last minute request in your stride and couldn’t have been more helpful. The event was a huge success and the team loved it and that was largely down to the choreographer and her lovely, bubbly personality – she is an asset to you and it wouldn’t have been the same without her. The team were a bit anxious to find out what they were doing but everyone embraced it and was surprised at how much they enjoy it. Overall a huge success and a great night had by all – thank you.” Hannah Eborall – Executive Assistant – LifeSearch

Our choreographers teach the moves to the iconic Michael Jackson dance routine. We have the option to include a zombie make over or just keep you looking like humans and enjoy the energy of the dance. Once again any reservations about the event soon dissolve and even the people with two left feet are surprised at how much they get into this and have a great time.

The Boomwhacker Experience

“The event was amazing, brilliant and faultless. We could not have had a better experience. Every colleague I’ve seen today has thanked me for organising it and I’m so pleased that we could do this. It was simply the best team building experience this staff team has had in the 9 years I’ve worked here. Brilliant – thank you.” Joe and all the staff at INPUT Pain Management – St Thomas’ Hospital

Using pitched percussion tubes, the boomwhacker experience shows the power of working together as we move through a fun rhythmic session which ends up as an orchestra performing a piece by Mozart. Nothing demonstrates how the sum is greater than the parts than working together to create a classical orchestra from a modest plastic tube.

Beat Box Team Building

Posted on 13 August 201813 August 2018 by Social Media Manager

Beat Box Team Building

Beat Box Mania is an exciting new event

Timescale: 30 minutes to 1 hour / Group size: 5-2,000+ people

The Beat Box Mania beat box team building event brings the energy of urban hip hop culture to your work place. Here our beat box expert facilitator introduces your delegates to the hip and happening art form of beat boxing whilst displaying the fundamental skills needed.

beat box, team building, conference, energiser, ice breaker, hip hop

Once your group have been taught these skills and, amidst much laughter, got to grips with performing them they are tasked with creating their own rap over the top of their rhythms.

This is hilarious and ridiculous but simultaneously brilliant at getting the teams to work together to create the finished performance. Out of the silliness is borne a determination to pull together and succeed and the only way to do it is support each other and get creative as a team.

This can run as a short ice breaker or energizer session, as well as a longer team building event.

“Just wanted to get in touch to say how brilliant the day was. The activity was really fun even the people who thought they weren’t going to enjoy it did! Happy days! The facilitators were brilliant throughout the afternoon and kept us all in check when we needed to be! The song choice went down really well and everyone really got into it. Overall it was great and as a company had a great time! Thank you so much for helping organise it all.” Rachael Walsh Office Manager Trinity McQueen

We can run this anywhere, get going in seconds and leave the room in seconds. It needs zero equipment except for a microphone and it’s suitable for any groups size and any duration from 10 minutes up to an hour. This makes it perfect for those conference sessions when a fast entrance and exit is required.
