Team Building in Hobart

Planning a Hobart Team Building Event

Team days here fall into two camps: an activity that gets everyone doing something together, or a venue day out in the Coal River Valley where the meeting, lunch and a stroll among the vines share one site. Plenty of teams combine them, with a morning working session and an afternoon hands-on activity.

Formats worth comparing:

Creative studios in the city: pottery workshops from $63.75 per person and guided painting from $59 per person, with no skill needed and plenty of talk around the table.
Cooking classes: a Huon Valley farm kitchen from $105 per person for six to nine people, and a New Norfolk school for groups of ten to 24.
High energy: an indoor trampoline park at Derwent Park with group packages from $25 per person.
Country venues around Richmond: a winery and chocolate maker, an 1830 Georgian country house with private dining, and a farm hall for very large groups.
Brewery and golf: a Derwent Park brewery with four function spaces, and a championship golf club at Cambridge for corporate golf days.

For the valley venues, a chartered coach or minibus keeps the group together and the day on time, and takes care of the trip home after any drinks. More ideas sit under corporate events and group activities.

A quiet or new team does well with something hands-on and low-stakes, such as clay or painting.
A team that needs a proper conversation suits a cooking class, where the meal at the end is half the point.
A large division needs a farm hall or brewery with room for a presentation and a meal.
A leadership group of up to 16 can take private dining at the Georgian country house.

Weather and the calendar

Cold, changeable days make an indoor fallback essential for anything planned on a lawn or among the vines.
Late in the year, team days compete with Christmas parties and summer visitors, so lock in dates during spring.
Midwinter suits indoor formats: a studio, a kitchen or a heated function room.

How should a team travel between the city and the Coal River Valley?

A championship golf club at Cambridge hosts corporate golf days and functions, which pairs well with a team dinner afterwards.
