Your Lakeside Event - Something to remember
To complete your event, we would be delighted to arrange a whole host of Team Building Events, Activities and Evening Entertainment to take place either at the hotel, in the grounds, on the lake or nearby. Please ask for further details on any of our following suggestions.
Team Building
Why not break from your conference to revitalise your delegates with a day of team building activities with an innovative programme that is challenging, dynamic and fun!
Lakeside Corporate - Activities in a 400 acre wooded estate, bordered by half a mile of Lake Windermere shore. Enjoy a day of problem solving initiatives, obstacle course, beer crate challenge, king swing and aerial runway. Alternatively, specialist trainers can deliver tailor-made management development programmes to meet your specific needs and objectives.
Outrun Sailing - Sailing a big boat is the ultimate team experience, and without communication and team work it is impossible to sail a yacht effectively. Outrun Sailing can provide up to 5 matched Beneteau yachts for your Corporate Day which will be designed to meet your particular aims – management training, personal development and team building for instance, or simply as a way of rewarding your people with a exhilarating and inspiring day on the lake.
Private charter of a 32 foot yacht - depart from our hotel jetties in your own skippered yacht and enjoy an exclusive sail on Lake Windermere. Multi-boat events such as match racing and treasure hunts can be arranged to enhance any conference or meeting, to develop your colleagues competitive skills or just to have a good time.
Off-Road Driving - Take to the hills on an expedition where YOU get straight behind the wheel of a specially prepared 4x4 vehicle for this ultimate off-road driving experience in the Lake District National Park. You will be collected from outside the door of the hotel. Drive off-road trails in mountain & forest surroundings, taking you to the top of some of England's highest peaks in the most remote and breathtakingly beautiful regions of the Lakes.
Only free time from your conference in the evening? Then the Kankku Night Time Off Road Drive is an adrenaline inducing experience for the privileged. With expert guidance, its all about razor sharp concentration as you need perfect vehicle control on the narrow mountain tracks. Whether you get bright moonlit skies or gale force conditions with rain and storms, this will be a memorable driving experience. This adventure filled night time drive will wind its way back to the warmth of Lakeside Hotel's log fires for local speciality food and real ales where different vehicle teams can exchange their stories of skill and trepidation. Grass roots, self generated entertainment!
Live Championship Rally - Join the Kankku Rally Team for the day and get 'stuck in' by taking on the Formula 1 style service and management roles required for the rally team to succeed on a Live Championship Rally.
'The Great Lakeside Robbery' - Thieves have raided the Windermere Express and are on the run with the cash. Become a part of the infamous 'gang' in order to reclaim your riches. Everyone will be chasing the swag at a variety of locations on land or water. These can include speedboats, sailing, canoeing, mountain biking, motorised challenges and a whole host of other activity options, whilst taking in the breathtaking scenery of the Lake District for the final chase to recover your passports and abscond the country with the cash before the police catch you.
Go-Ape - Based in nearby Grizedale Forest, Go-Ape is a network of rope bridges, trapezes and death slides that stretches for roughly a mile through the tree canopy...this impressively extensive cat's cradle of ropes, netting and platforms, set high in the trees is an aerial assault course!
