Bringing people together for meetings and events generates new ideas and connections; as in-person events return, this feels more important than ever. Having the right space outside of the conference hall to keep those sparks and conversations going is vital. There’s plenty of inspiration for team building and group activities in and around York, whether you’re looking for outdoor adventures, bespoke tours, or sporting experiences or something cultural.

Whether you need a full day within your conference itinerary or a 'must see' local highlight as an informal pre-dinner social, you’ll find plenty of options with suggestions to suit groups of all sizes and budgets.

Want to plan something bespoke? Get in touch on conference@visityork.org and we’ll help with ideas.
